[We know who it is we want. We have a collective mind.
We don't miss a single step. We're always right behind.
We know we serve someone else. We have swallowed our pride.
We march to this tune of loss. We take this in our stride.]

Current location: Asphodel (previously Sacrosanct)
Current Physical Appearance: A rather impressive drone, black and green armor and a red HUD. He's completely covered in the synthetic armor that he had previously built as containment for his spark.
Summary: The Air Guardian had originally been part of the resistance, helping the uncorrupted parts of the population escape down planet-side. His suit, however, had made him susceptible to Hypatia's reach. It started with slow inklings, thoughts that did not belong to him. The suit had been designed to be a part of his body, his mind, everything hooked up to nerves and neural output. It was a ridiculously easy target, and she played with him so simply. Planting violence in his head, visions that made him sick. By the time he'd made it down to the planet with the rest of the refugees, it was too late.
Increasingly quiet, he isolated himself, no longer chatty, keeping close by Shepard's side. He took up arms (it wasn't the first time), and slowly his disdain for violence slowly trickled away as she molded him from above. His suit and his powers made him a weapon to begin with. He was large and imposing and perfect. Without his gentle disposition he suited her needs quite well, along with the rest of the synthetics or half-synthetics that she'd managed to reprogram or infect, he'd make a lovely addition to the ranks. Day by day, driving him insane, tweaking against his grief and doubt, against the people they'd seen slaughtered in her initial purge. She'd play those thoughts back to him over and over again, breaking down his guilt. Eventually she made one final push for reprogramming, and Skyfire had a psychotic break, fleeing his crew for the station.
The rest of it had been easy after that. Wipe him of identity. Give him a new name. He proved so useful to her after that. He was re-skilled in combat and infiltration. His flight made him perfect for drops onto the planet to abduct whoever Hypatia saw fit. Whatever caught her eye, Skyfire was a missile to be aimed at it. He was given combat data from many of the citizens on the station, though he is powerful, his techniques are not polished.
He rose to be one of the commanders of her private army, violently policing those who were left behind on the station and killing whoever got in his way. Hypatia's way.
That is until Thane scored a winning shot with a disruptor round. he had actually been aiming to put Skyfire down as a sort of mercy-kill. Instead he crippled him enough that he could be captured and tediously repaired. Given his free-will back. So to speak. He was never the same after that, though. He was made a weapon, and it was a hard thing to break. He'd killed a lot of people. Now he skulks around the planet surface, following Shepard, fighting for the resistance. Quiet, surly, no having any issue with violence. Certainly not the happy, nature-loving scientist that once landed himself in the station.
Note: If you want to thread with him before he was fixed, specify! He'll happily be a horrible person at you!

Or she would if her programming wasn't erased and she's just a shell now :(
