Geist the Assassin

Geist the Assassin is an Altameran assassin who served as the genetic template for the Altameran "Sigma Gray" cyborg legion.

Paul Terrance Geist (b. September 18th, 1746) was a soldier in the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. Notably, Paul served under Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell during the Capture of Savannah, and was a highly-decorated soldier.

In the early morning hours of Thursday, December 31st, 1778, Paul was abducted by Altameran scouts who were visiting Earth. Interest in the man had manifested much earlier in the Altameran leadership responsible for observance of Earth, and his apprehension became a goal of the scouts. The Altameran presence on Earth predated that of the Lavistar Federation by over 350 years.

Paul's genetic structure became the template for 'Sigma Gray'. Paul himself was 'gifted' with near-eternal life, as he was almost completely remade as a cyborg General, later to become an assassin in Lavistar territory at the dawn of the Outland Wars.
