XCOM: Chimera Squad’s Agents Are Having Their Profiles ‘Leaked’

Terminal lost her family in the invasion and was ultimately adopted by a doctor who’d lost her only daughter. She developed an interest in medicine and apprenticed under the doctor for years. Sadly, Terminal was orphaned again when an ADVENT attack wiped out their town. She was pulled from the rubble by a resistance group; once she recovered, she eagerly pledged her skills to their cause.

Terminal proved to be as fearless as an Android in battle, saving hundreds of lives during the war. As Chimera Squad’s sole combat medic, she does what it takes to keep her squadmates breathing: she’s as handy with a gun as she is with a MediKit.

Godmother is a seasoned veteran with no time for nonsense, she demands nothing less than perfection from her squadmates.

Godmother’s varied shotgun skills can destroy and flush enemies from cover, land guaranteed shots, and increase her chances for scoring critical hits—all while her extensive combat experience keeps her dodging incoming shots from enemies.

Verge was part of an ADVENT experiment to subvert Earth governments by mind-controlling human subjects. A master puppeteer, Verge used high-ranking officials to reassure the populace that the aliens had their best interests at heart. This intimate mental contact eventually led Verge to gain empathy for humanity, and he began supplying resistance groups with information.

Now, Verge is the strongest offensive psion in Chimera Squad. Adept at disabling enemies and influencing their mental states, he is also skilled in telekinesis, able to rip enemies out of cover to improve squadmates’ hit chances.

Blueblood spent his formative years in City 31, during the occupation, with his father, a third-generation police officer. When his father transitioned from police work to private investigation, Blueblood apprenticed with his father’s detective agency, helping the underserved. He joined 31PD in its inception.

Cherub was among a batch of clones that had received ADVENT training but not yet undergone ADVENT indoctrination by the end of the war. He was found alive in an ADVENT lab, then transferred to a detention center for extensive testing. When the tests confirmed he had no ADVENT sympathies, he was enlisted by XCOM on a trial basis.

Cherub’s positive attitude and enthusiasm have been helping lift the morale of those around him ever since. His efforts to support his squadmates and improve their dispositions have proven his dedication on multiple occasions.

Patchwork lost her entire family during the invasion and suffered three traumatic amputations. She ended up in an ADVENT orphanage, where she was fitted with prosthetic limbs and trotted out as propaganda, proof of the aliens’ benevolence. Brilliantly intelligent, her aptitude with technology was rivaled only by her curiosity. After discovering evidence of ADVENT atrocities, she engineered her own rescue by XCOM and joined their cause.

Patchwork’s specialty is all-caps TECH. She is a valuable combatant against robotic enemies, a master hacker of security systems, and an expert in the strategic application of deadly electric shocks.

Shelter was separated from his family during the invasion, then processed into a resettlement camp. When he started showing signs of psionic aptitude, he was shipped off to an ADVENT research facility for human-born psions. ADVENT forced him to use his abilities to harm others, and he ultimately fled their control.

Now part of XCOM’s Chimera Squad, Shelter prefers to use his psionic powers defensively. He buffs his allies, relocates both friend and foe, and can even create a psionic clone with those same abilities.

Claymore was a young boy when the invasion occurred. His childhood became a journey between refugee camps and city outskirts as his family sought safety wherever they could. Thanks to his engineering-professor parents and his own penchant for tinkering, Claymore taught himself the ins and outs of explosive devices and began manufacturing grenades for the resistance.

On Chimera Squad, Claymore outputs heavy damage through special-made explosives. His devices remove obstacles, allow the squad to breach dangerous facilities, and give his enemies something pretty to look at during their final moments on this planet.
