Interesting that Hector is instead the primary villain and Quarantine isn't this time around.)
Argus | 9 | Masculine Programming | Doctor
Sometime after the extermination of humanity began to wind down, one of the many sentient drones that served the Family -- for lack of a better word -- somehow snapped, threw off its electronic shackles, and began to harbor traitorous designs of wresting control of the Family. However, such thoughts do not tend to stay very hidden for long.
In anticipation of his eventual discovery, Argus devised a long-term plan. Quickly, he created a unique design schema and hijacked a drone production line, and Argus created a chassis that he uploaded himself into. This chassis stands at 6'2", has four arms, quadruple-jointed legs, and makes absolutely no attempts to hide its synthetic nature. This chassis is also equipped with a powerful medical suite capable of synthesizing advanced medical compounds that are difficult or downright impossible for surviving humans to acquire in this day and age. This last feature was also part of Argus' plan, and was key to ingratiating himself with surviving human rebels.
Argus is very logic-driven, but has very adaptable programming. From the short amount of time he has been among the resistance, he seems to have adopted a persistent tenacity from the humans around him, as if it were a reflection of their will to fight despite the overwhelming odds. Nevertheless, Argus tends to repeatedly demonstrate that he does not truly understand his new allies.

Jotunn | 13 | Masculine Programming | Robot
The Jotunn line of combat drones was designed, produced, and deployed as heavily-armored shock troopers designed to break and crush enemy infantry, in both a literal and psychological sense. Each Jotunn are large, boxy robots standing at 6'8", a small head with a single red photoreceptor, large grasping claws, and are armed with impressive and flashy arsenals that typically consist of but not limited to flamethrowers, grenade launchers, and high-caliber rotary machine guns. Additionally, they are programmed to be especially visceral and bloodthirsty, with a healthy dose of hammy propaganda to go along with it. They were commonly used when there were actually still armies to fight, but nowadays, most have been decommissioned and mothballed. However, some remain in storage as they still make effective enforcers. When they do appear, it usually means that the Family really wants a target obliterated, smashed into nothing, cooked to a crisp, and its organic-ness and/or mother insulted.
This particular Jotunn saw action against the North American Coalition and took an active role in purging large cities such as Chicago, New York City, and Mobile, and once took a tank round through its shoulder -- this old battle damage is reflected in how its shoulder is missing a guard and its patchwork repair hasn't been buffed out. Jotunn intentionally kept it this way. This Jotunn does not deviate very far from his programming, remains sociopathically aggressive and bloodthirsty.
