Daniel Carrington
Age: 62 years and 8 months Race: Human (Male) Profile: Founder of the Carrington Institute, Daniel Carrington is the first human being to establish contact with the Maian extraterrestrial race. As a professional scientist, he managed to develop an algorithm to crack into the secure Maian communication systems to commune with them. They decided to begin their slow introduction to the human race through Carrington, and so the Carrington Institute was formed. Daniel oversees every CI mission and is constantly aware of the dataDyne Corporation's recent technological breakthroughs - but suspects that another, more sinister alien race is working with dataDyne for some unknown design. On a more personal note, he has a strange taste in clothing.

Mr. Blonde
Age: Unknown Race: Human (Male) Profile: On the outside, Mr. Blonde appears to be a tall human male in his late 20's with striking blond hair - hence the name.

Using this technology, Skedar Warriors can commune with dataDyne on Earth without looking too overtly suspicious. Mr. Blonde is in charge of the Skedar faction working with dataDyne, and he often gives Cassandra orders - although she doesn't enjoy following them. He views dataDyne as expendable - in his view anything that does not work correctly should be disposed of swiftly.

The Maian Race

The Skedar Race
Profile: The Skedar are vicious warriors who find death on the battlefield the highest honour attainable. The actual Skedar being is a small squid-like creature, but for each little squid is a biological robotic suit to wriggle into, and that robotic suit has a visage many Maians have come to fear. Even without a weapon, a Skedar's claws prove just as lethal.
