They've never had a chance to autopsy him.

Hrm, that leaves a few options for this coming run at him then, either try to take him alive - between them, he and Rhett could probably make a cage to hold him still - or kill him then rush him to an autopsy table to figure out just what's different about his body.

Deep down, Aaron can't shake the sinking feeling that maybe this guy really is invincible.

To distract himself, he goes back to the field reports. Does Clavish operate alone in combat, or have agents found backup with him? Be they soldiers, or his "acolytes".

All of the above. He has operated alone in the past. Generally for infiltration. He has used Acolytes and Inquisitors to quell resistances. And him and other Empire operatives have worked together to achieve vital objectives.

Inquisitors? This is obviously much more organised than he first thought, but at least Paradigm knows about these people. That's something.

He starts looking up anything and everything Paradigm has on Clavish's little cult, especially these "Inquisitors".

Nothing much except that they are elite troops under his command.

Do they usually have powers? How often has Paradigm engaged them in combat?

Paradigm only has two reports of them being used. Both times against rebels in newly acquired territory, never directly against Paradigm.

Interesting, considering his own willingness to personally engage in battle against Paradigm.

How detailed are these reports? Any descriptions, uniforms, anything of use?

Not a lot of detail as it's all second hand reports. The description paints them as looking almost like monks.

Do descriptions sound more like they use powers, or weapons? Or both?

Both. But there is nothing specific.

It's enough to be helpful for now.

What other info on his cult exists?

Hm. Well, what he had so far was a start, at least. If they see creepy monks around the target location, he knows who they are.

For now, he turns back to Clavish himself, seeing if he can glean anything else of use. The man - tch, not that he can be called one - likes his explosives, but are there any other common tricks? Any favourite gear that keeps popping up in reports?

His gear loadout appears to be standard for the most part. Guns, knives, and explosives such as bombs or grenades.

Both! There is even a report where he went into battle with medieval full plate armor and a sword once!

That's strange enough that he reads the full report, just to find out what the story is behind that one.

It was during the Ukraine assault about fifteen years ago. No one knows why he did it. But him and Evan Larkin took a whole Military outpost together while he did it.

Good to know he's always been nuts, Aaron supposes.

Back on track, has he ever been rendered unconscious, that reports mention? He knows toxins, poison, etc. won't work on Clavish, but has anything else? Electricity, ice, sleep inducement powers, anything like that?

No report says if he has ever been knocked out or not.

Short of blowing him up, anything noted as getting around his regeneration better than other tactics? They could choose their loadout accordingly.

It just seems that the more there is the regenerate the longer it takes.
