Description
Leader of a cell of renegades that broke away from the Angel Cartel, Sariel struck out on his own at first but quickly managed to gather a band of rogue Angels about him. In the days when he was a lone frigate ace, Sariel rigged up a series of plasma torches along the tusk-like flanks of his Dramiel and embarked on a campaign of terror and raiding. Sariel's prowess with a frigate was no doubt a factor in attracting other rogues to his command and the ranks of "Sariel's Flames" swelled as his reputation filtered through the back-alleys and seediest dives of New Eden. The goals of Sariel and his "Flames" remain obscure but they appear to share with their former Cartel comrades an interest in acquiring ancient technology. This appears to include a special interest in advanced cloning techniques derived from dangerous and illegal archaeological delving. By the standards of academics, or even corporate archaeotechs, such activities are no better than tomb-robbing. As Sariel's Flames make sure to achieve space-superiority over any site they plunder, they are unlikely to be dissuaded by the complaints of the archaeological establishment.
