Pilots are the final puzzle piece in your loadout, and choosing the ideal companion for your War Robot is critical to your success…or failure.

Bow down to Idy “King” Demerost, a gentlemanly gunslinger on a mission to keep war as civilized as possible.

BACKGROUND ANALYSIS

Name: Idy Demerost
Call Sign: King
Class: Assault
Dominion: Freecon

Idy grew up on Mars as part of a group of Freecon settler families who were offered positions of authority on colonized outposts due to their reliability and traditional values. His father did not share Idy’s moral compass, and would often sacrifice other colonists for “the greater good”. Seeing this cruelty, Idy ran away to the Wild Ten at a young age, finding a new family in a band of mercenaries led by an old-school merc known as Ever who showed him the ropes.

During a mission, Idy’s code of conduct was put to the test. He lost an arm during a warp malfunction on the battlefield in an attempt to save a teammate. His squad gave him the call sign “King”, to demonstrate his leadership and sacrifice that day. Unfortunately, this also effectively ended his career as a Pilot.

After Idy was maimed, work was slow, and he was at a loose end back on Mars, hitting rock bottom. One day, there came an intriguing offer: an opportunity to return to his Pilot duties for a small favor...

King suddenly resurfaced on Tortuga, with his body rebuilt and his mind ready for action. Back in the driver’s seat, King takes his duties seriously, and will not engage in any type of criminality on or off the battlefield. He sees mercenary work as a noble profession, not a free pass to commit atrocities, and has made a number of enemies due to his belief in “gentlemanly warfare”. Heavy may be the head that wears the crown, but King’s unwavering honesty makes it feel lighter than air.
