Name: Thane Krios Current location: Asphodel Current Physical Appearance: Thane doesn't look too much different. Different clothing (http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/30014/1308413-alternate_appearance_03_o_super.jpg), minus the sunglasses. Summary: Once upon a time, Thane's organs were removed by SHODAN and Motoko; they were replaced with mechanical ones. We all know this story; it's in-game canon. However, Hypatia saw a possibility; with the most deadly assassin in the galaxy under her control, Thane would be an excellent agent. As such, she tormented him and attempted to break him in by occasionally turning off his lungs or heart for a few seconds and generally causing him pain through his mechanical organs. Between this and the constant hallucinations of his dead wife and other Marker shenanigans, it was very trying. Eventually, Skyfire had to carry Thane out from Sacrosanct and take him to Asphodel so he wouldn't suffer any longer, despite Thane's protests. Since then, Thane has been actively working at Asphodel, shooting down any threats with keen precision. On occasion, Hypatia's signal breaks through and causes him internal pain, but this only lasts a few seconds at a time.
Thane in general is far more cold, detached, and projects himself to appear indifferent. He wants to do right by this world and destroy Hypatia, but he finds holding most things and people at arm's length would be the best method. If you have been repurposed by Hypatia, chances are Thane has or is going to shoot you.
