Wilken

The captured GrayCris assassin, hauled back to the station as a prisoner and intended witness against the corporation.

Story so far

Having been frozen in her hacked armor and stripped of her gear, Wilken spends the escape as a helpless prisoner, carried out of the terraforming facility and back toward the transit station alongside her partner Gerth. She is kept alive at Don Abene's insistence to serve as a witness against GrayCris, the corporation that hired her to disable the tractor array and, it appears, was willing to let its own combat bots kill her too. Her attempt to execute Abene, made personal by the hair-grab and her sneering 'it's not personal,' is what marked her to Murderbot as an assassin who enjoyed the work; that cruelty ultimately costs GrayCris a live witness to its crimes.

Appearance

An augmented-human woman in high-end powered armor, frozen and disarmed, held captive.

Role

Captured antagonist: a GrayCris assassin held as a witness against the corporation.

Relationships

Gerth — Her fellow captured assassin, taken back to the station with her.
