Harold, Xexas Scavenger
Born and raised in Xexas, Harold found himself working for the engineers of the Xexas fleet at a young age. When he enlightened at the young age of fifteen, his superior decided to shift him to the Artifact Transports department, where young Harold learned all there is to know about Shaft Speeds, Aerial Skiffs and other such platforms. When he got to pilot one, something awoke (or some say, broke) in Harold. He knows all the designs by heart, he's seen all the big memory crystals (Top Skiff, Iron Raptor, Sova Harbor...) and above all, he's clocked in hundreds of flight-hours. It's no secret. Harold has an obsession.

Mufast, Specialist-Cleric of Iksa
Mufast's iron pokerface is well-known in the Starmetal city of Iksa. Through a series of unfortunate events involving his sense of duty and an Avatar of Iksa, he became involved in Operation 17's predecessor, Project Mindsight. He was responsible for reclaiming the Soulgem of Kamaki's Operation 17 candidate and later assigned as that candidate's chaperone. Mufast is relatively young man with a baby face, which he tries to hide with a large beard. It doesn't work too well. Mufast is also a half-way decent pilot.

Mon, Cleric of Iksa
One of the Clerics in Mufast's unit, Mon is a fairly adept Martial Artist. He's a tad older than Mufast and is your average happy go lucky type who's actually quite intelligent. He likes sleeping and drinking. Recently, he awoke his essence. This is much to his own dismay, at it comes with the nasty side-effect of making him extremely resistant to alcohol. Being one of Iksa's special Clerical unit, he enjoys more freedom than most an abuses it as much as possible.

Adzi, Cleric of Iksa
Adzi is the third and fnal current member of Mufast's unit. An Trentac native by birth, Adzi was moved Iksa to improve her Ex-machina interaction skills. She proved fairly unadapt at this but showed a great aptitude for tactics. She now acts as the actual brains of the special Clerical unit. Outwardly, she seems quite a bit more uptight than other Iksans due to her original Trentac conditioning. She, however, often reveals a violent side toward Mon, whenever he teases her with her adoration for Mufast. Adzi has very recently awoken her essence.

Misho, Iksan Pious Harvester
Misho is small, lithe and quite flat. She has a pixie cut and is married to Peed, Illustrious Condunctress. Very bright and eager to learn, Misho awoke her essence at an early age. She rose through the ranks of the Sodality quite quickly and is now one of the candidate Sodalites to work on Iksa's future Alchemicals project. For the time being, she runs the nutrient slurry treatment for Layer 5, Sectors 11, 12 and 13. In her spare time, she likes to 'garden' (using crystal kudzu and wires as 'plants'). Though kindhearted, she tends to be fairly mischievous to people she hasn't met before.
