Description
Briareos Hecatonchires hails from the Mediterranean. As a child, the KGB exploited him for terrorist operations. He defected to the former United States after assassinating his operations commander, landing him on international most-wanted lists. During this time, he met a Special Security Forces agent and partnered with the agent's daughter, Deunan Knute. A later explosion inflicted near-fatal injuries, leading to extensive cybernetic reconstruction at age 31 that replaced roughly 75% of his biological body. Only his cardiovascular system, digestive tract, and partial brain tissue remained organic. His reproductive system ceased functioning post-reconstruction. "Hecatonchires" denotes his cybernetic body class, not a surname, with his original family name unrecorded.
His cybernetic form integrates eight visual sensors: four on his facial structure, two at the base of his auditory sensors, and two at their tips for peripheral vision. The central facial sensor operates as a nasal organ. His organic brain resides in his thoracic cavity, supplemented by a cranial auxiliary biocomputer for conceptual data processing. The Hecatonchires control system allows simultaneous operation of multiple limbs or external units without cognitive overload, including documented capacity to solo-pilot an aircraft carrier. Enhancements encompass superhuman strength, elastic thermal-regulating dermis, and hydraulic legs enabling extraordinary leaps. He retains biological needs—nutrition, blood circulation, and vulnerability to intoxication. His mobile auditory sensors reflect emotional states, lowering during depression and elevating when alert.
Vulnerabilities endure despite augmentations. High-caliber ballistics induce severe hemorrhaging due to retained human blood, triggering emergency shutdowns to prevent neural damage. Repeated injuries raise concerns about progressive systemic decay. Records show near-fatal damage from explosives and sustained rifle fire, requiring multiple reconstructions. This physical decline prompted considerations that his genetic clone, Tereus, might better partner Deunan Knute.
His career includes pre-World War III service with Deunan Knute in her father's LAPD SWAT unit, followed by joint deployment in a US Army platoon during the war. Post-conflict, they operated as ESWAT officers in Olympus. Their romantic relationship predates his cybernetic conversion and persists despite physiological constraints on intimacy. He routinely moderates Deunan's impulsiveness through tactical caution and acts as her protective counterpart during missions.
In the Ex Machina incident, critical combat injuries necessitated medical suspension. Tereus—a bioroid clone replicating Briareos' DNA and pre-cyborg appearance—temporarily replaced him as Deunan's partner. Briareos' return sparked emotional friction, though mutual professional respect emerged between clone and original. Subsequent missions involved thwarting a nanotechnology mind-control conspiracy. Briareos was forcibly compromised via injected nanites, nearly causing catastrophic system failure before neutralization. Throughout, his investigative efforts exposed the conspiracy's architect, Dr. Kestner.
