Portrait of Vamplew

Back to Squad Leaders

Jacques Yves Vamplew is a Squad Leader, belonging to Ion Security. He is very much an arrogant dandy, but his skills are even sharper than his sense of style and his proficiency in armored combat far outweighs his grating personality.

Background & Lore

Mercenary. Neurotic, gaudy, immensely condescending. If the other SLs can stomach the slights and insults, we can make use of the talent hidden by the sanctimony.

Trivia

The icon for "Disdain" is based off the picture of a king in a deck of playing cards.
