Maelstrom (RTU)

In the Retelling Universe, Maelstrom was a mercenary who was hired to capture Blackout and Zev for an unknown party.

Biography
Maelstrom was a robot, but perfectly humanoid, without any of the usual decoration, to the point where he could almost be mistaken for a human in armour. While he was confident in his abilities as a mercenary, he could see the risk in this enterprise – he was sure that capturing a Makuta, and the nigh-legendary Zev Raregroove, at the same time would be a challenge. If he hadn't been assured they would both be wounded and tired out from battle, and paid enough to retire comfortably, he would never had taken the mission.

History
Maelstrom's day-to-day job was a pilot on a deep-space transport ship, but that was merely a cover for his true trade – mercenary. He was one of the best – and most expensive - in the business, with a reputation for taking on targets more powerful than himself and winning.

Maelstrom was hired by an unknown party to capture Blackout and Zev Raregroove. His client gave him sensor patterns to more easily detect his targets and a jar to contain Blackout's antidermis in. After getting off a call with his client, in which he demanded both targets be brought back to him alive, Maelstrom arrived at Blackout and Zev's location in his cloaked ship. He then retrieved his weapons and prepared to strike.
