Name: Ladon Ceto Current location: Sacrosanct, mostly, though he's often sent to Asphodel for recon. Current Physical Appearance: Part human, part dragon, part machine. Ladon's different forms are now competing for dominance, though his new artificial add-ons keep him from swinging fully into either. The mobster disguise has been cast aside now that everyone has pretty much found out what he is. He's a mess of scales and skin and metal, with a replacement cybernetic eye on the left side of his face, one mechanical leg, and robotics keeping him upright and functional after some pretty terrible damage he sustained in an explosion. His tattered wings and tail are almost always out now, but he still holds on to his hat, if only out of sentimentality. Summary: During the flight from Sacrosanct, Ladon did what he could to buy the escapees time. Unfortunately, that meant throwing himself into the fray and winding up dead-- or well. Mostly. Regardless, the original Ladon Ceto never came back from that fight. Hypatia has done what she could to indoctrinate him, but he's basically a failed prototype. He's resisted brainwashing, and attempts to fuss with a dragon brain held captive in a human skull would likely just kill him. He stays because of the others left behind, and follows Hypatia's orders in a limited fashion, if only to keep the unwilling, enslaved, and brainwashed from death until they can be freed and/or returned to their right minds. However, he's running out of time. Eventually he's going to outlive his usefulness or cross one too many lines and be decommissioned. Once Hypatia cuts the power to his cybernetics, he'll be dead. That reality is becoming more and more likely in the near future, but if he's going to go out, he's at least going to do what he can beforehand.
