Description So shortly after having the comic script get shot down, I decided to try and get one other piece of art done. Sadly, it too got rejected numerous times, and I put it on the back-burner for a while (along with the story). But, after happily stumbling across a certain piece from nearly a year later, and getting in touch with her, the ball finally got rolling!

Once the comission was done, was nice enough to give me a copy of the PSD, as well as some additional files, and I was able to do some colorization to it. I was going to attempt shading it, but sadly I'm not that good when it comes to lighting detail . If anyone else wants to try, just shoot me a PM!

Anyway, onto the cast!
(from Left to Right)

Romellus Odenus (formerly Talmond), is a young, well-respected member of the Citadel’s Special Tactics and Recon, and a graduate of the Talmond Biotic Program. Like his father, he is calm in demeanor, and has a knack for being able to read people’s emotional responses. In late 2184, he “blackmailed” Siddig al-Isfahani into assisting him with his investigation into a human trafficking ring on the colony of Beckenstien. Though there was some animosity at first, the two eventually became good friends, though Rom still turns down Sid’s requests to join his family for dinner.

Siddig al-Isfahani is the eldest child of the Isfahani family, and is considered to be an incredibly bright individual, though his talents are mainly in being a con-man, much like his father. After Javrit joined the family, the two often were the ire of C-Sec, causing all manner of havoc with their pranks until Javrit’s departure at the age of 15. Siddig followed suit, and joined the Systems Alliance at the age of 17, attending the Arcturus Naval Academy ROTC program. After graduating early, he was assigned to Eden Prime, and was able to convince the base commander to hire his brother Javrit as a contract pilot. He has a strong friendship with Elizabete, and is one of the few who can get away with the occasional prank on her without fear of being injured…severely. In 2184, he was assigned to work with Romellus Odenus after it was discovered by the SPECTRE that he was responsible for the Babel virus over ten years prior.

Javrit Eykarus al-Isfahani is an interesting case. After the departure of his father Jaelrin Eykarus in 2166, and the death of his mother Aellina in 2168, Javrit was adopted by the Isfahanis—a human family—and took their surname . At a young age, Javrit displayed an uncanny intelligence, though the Isfahani influence led to him becoming a bit more of a calculating troublemaker, and a skilled jack-of-all-trades. In the military, he took after his biological father, becoming a pilot for the Hierarchy until he was granted leave just a few short years later. He then joined the Systems Alliance on Eden Prime as a transport pilot under a WO-1 rank, and was present when Saren attacked the colony. His actions on that day earned him numerous merits and commendations from officers within the Systems Alliance. He currently works as a test pilot and design consultant on the Chimera Project, a joint effort between the Alliance and Hierarchy to create a new combat aircraft to succeed the venerable A-61 Mantis Gunship.

Elizabete Montoya is a member of the Systems Alliance’s Special Operations Command branch, and an N7 graduate. She grew up in the favelas of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and was a noted gang member. Around her 14th birthday, she was taken in by a local Mixed Martial Arts Studio owner, Renault Montoya, and turned away from gang life, after learning they had attempted to set her up. Joining the Alliance around the age of 17 after an incident with her former gang, she fought in the Skyllian Blitz in 2178, where she proved herself as a capable soldier and leader, and was admitted into the N7 program following a recommendation from Commander Shepard. After graduating from "Devyatyĭ Krug", an Interplanetary Combat Training Academy in Irkutsk, Russia, she was given numerous field deployments, and eventually was assigned to Eden Prime, where she was wounded in the attack by Saren Arterius. Following the attack, she volunteered for a joint Alliance/Hierarchy Special Unit, dubbed “Shadow Group Zero-Two”, and underwent numerous gene therapy and cybernetic enhancements—much of it classified.

Leito is a Verataxyl and has been with Javrit since his first deployment on the Salarian world of Keseran. Having been abandoned by his kin shortly after birth, he was found by the young turian during a routine patrol, and has stayed with him ever since. Incredibly intelligent, and often quite the troublemaker, he loves being around people, and will often feign an inability to climb around human and asari women, hoping that they'll pick him up and cuddle him. Around his neck, he wears a specially designed collar, fashioned by Sid, which helps him understand non-turian languages, though he himself can't speak.

Tibera Odenus is one of the most well-regarded neurosurgeons in the galaxy, specializing in the field of biotic implants and amps, and worked with her mate, Rellius Talmond, in the Hierarchy’s Biotic Program as chief medical officer. After the incident between Saren and Rellius in 2178, and the subsequent reorganizing of the Program the following year, she was assigned to the Callista. When the Callista responded to the distress call from Eden Prime in 2183, she quickly found herself responsible for the treatment of numerous Alliance members, including Siddig al-Isfahani, Elizabete Montoya, and more exclusively, Javrit Eykarus, due in part to the injuries sustained by the latter. Tibera eventually took a leave of absence from the military and was offered a job in a hospital on Eden Prime. She has a strong friendship with the “trio”, and is partly responsible for Romellus and Siddig becoming partners.
