Species: Gelt
Sored is a Gelt male who served as a translator for the Northern Resistance during the Occupation and Liberation of Amargosa. Originally a resettled farmer, he was taken prisoner by sapient lycanths while tending a fence. In the cave where they kept him, he met Ellie Nardino, another captive. The lycanths, recognizing their shared linguistic potential, enlisted Sored to serve as a translator between their species and the humans. Through his guidance and growing trust with Ellie, Sored helped build the foundation of a multispecies resistance cell in Amargosa’s northern regions.
Though not a Warrior, Sored earned the respect of human fighters, Gelt defectors, and lycanths alike for his calm demeanor, rapid grasp of Humanic, and nuanced diplomacy. He remained at Ellie’s side throughout the formation of the Northern Resistance, often advising her during key confrontations, including the execution of a would-be assassin under combined Section 11 and pack law. His loyalty and cultural fluency made him one of the few Gelt accepted across all three factions.
Following the Liberation, Sored chose to remain on Amargosa and later joined a Compact Navy operation on Kaku V. There, he again acted as a translator—this time between humans and the planet’s native cephalopods. Though not formally enlisted, he was given provisional rank as a lieutenant for the operation. His skills in rapidly learning alien languages and his firsthand experience with cross-species diplomacy continued to make him an invaluable asset to Compact forces.
