Dago

The legendary Helldiver of the rival Gamma clan, a leathery veteran who insists raw pull never matters.

Story so far

Dago is the Helldiver of Gamma, the clan that has held the Laurel for as long as anyone in Lykos can remember. A pale strip of old leather with a permanent smirk, he is a legend among the divers, and even Darrow concedes he may only be Dago's equal. Cool and knowing where Darrow is brash, he refuses to boast his numbers and warns that raw helium-3 count never wins the Laurel.

He crushes a burner in half a minute to show Darrow how a life is spent, and proves right when Gamma takes the Laurel yet again despite Lambda's larger pull.

Appearance
