A still pose of one of our heroes, Natora. He is a Liquid ESM User and bears the Mask of Sonar, which has an attachment that can be rotated to switch between Night vision and Thermal Vision. On his hips he sports two hook launchers which he can fire using his Liquid ESM by moving and pressurising a liquid inside them. He is extremely flexible mainly due to his fully mechanical legs. He is covered in a dark navy blue exoskeleton which is more segmented that usual to grant him more flexibility, he has a slight hunchback covered in armour to protect him from any sneak attacks. His attachment lights and corelight are both light blue.

Natora can aim and fire his hook launchers using his Liquid ESM. His Mask of Sonar is crucial to locate strategic points, the night and thermal vision attachments make it almost impossible to flee his senses.
