Wikihood/characters/Shields

The Shields are an elite group of soldiers who work in the special-forces squadron of the BID (Byzantium Intelligence Department) and answer directly to CEO Constantine himself.

They each have a distinct style and attitude about them, and happen to hold a generous amount of loyalty to their main commander.

Originally the subjects of experimentation from the science department, as part of the Herakles super-soldier project, The Shields were hand-picked as the most successful results of the experiment.

Each of them undergoing several years of rigorous and intense training, the Shields are deemed legendary for their amazing skills. Working as a pack of five, they are unofficially lead by Jacques the Ripper, considered the most dangerous and unpredictable of Byzantium operatives.

Phalanx

Panos Milonas was a geneticist in Athens before he joined the Shields. Born with the power of self-replication, it manifested as a teenager and he spent many years trying to learn where it came from and how to completely control it. Approached by Byzantium, he became a willing participant in their super soldier program, granting him telekinesis but also modifying his clones in various ways, giving each one a unique hairstyle and personality when they are spawned. A cool and calculative, manipulative person, Phalanx sees himself as the smartest of the five but often bickers with his clones due to personality conflicts, and wields a large amount of sarissa in combat, which he usually telekinetically wields and splits amongst his clones. Whenever a clone dies, he regains the strength split from him in building it and it's memories it gained, but also feels every bit of pain it did during it's span. Treats Targe at his intelligence level, often being derogatory towards him, but also works with him with no problem. Wears modified Greek armor turned into a sort of coat with pants, and instead of a helmet has a firey orange mohawk.
