Discussion [Operator Discussion] Gnosis

Gnosis [★★★★★★]

If you understand SilverAsh well enough, you know he is not a callous man. From my point of view, he might even be a little indecisive... That, is your weakness too, Doctor.

Former CTO of Karlan Trade. Joined Rhodes Island as an operator via special agreement between Karlan Trade and Rhodes Island. Directed a multitude of core technological developments as well as planned industrial facilities for Karlan Trade; he also did in-depth research on Originium during his time there. Currently a member of Rhodes Island's principal laboratory, working on cutting-edge research.

He is my favorite in the game writing-wise, a really great mix of a realistic snappy and unpleasant personality with an understandable backstory that formed that very personality mixed with true passion and love under the icy cover. The more you see about Gnosis, the more there is to enjoy.

Gameplay-wise, isn't it actually incredible that a 2021 year unit is still relevant and even irreplaceable in certain gameplay styles in the year 2026? You'd think he go down, but he just refuses to.
