Mitchel

A cheerful pyromaniac who lives in the Underworld, constructing flamethrowers and vehicles in his workshop. He has chosen to reside in the Underworld because "governments really don't like it when you build flamethrowers just for fun." He is recruited by the Steel Battalion after aiding Dira in a mission in the Underworld.

After the ousting of strallenheim, the steel battalion took control of the strallenheim islands as a base of operations, spending months to clean it out and use it for their own production purposes. Mitchel was a part of this clean up crew and unfortunately whilst clearing the debris, he caught a small blast of void energy. This had bed ridden him for a few days but he recovered quickly.

He would spend his time designing some of the now more integral weapons in the steel battalion, such as the fabled Artemis Cannon MKII and the Demolition Gauntlets. He would be approached by gaverash himself to design a dragon busting weapon after Gaverash's concern over his own best friend, Dira. He happily took on the offer and began work, spending the next few months working, unbeknownst to his ever so declining sanity.

By the time the project was finished, Mitchel has fully succumbed to his void insanity and was hell bent on killing gaverash for turning Dira mad, blaming the steel battalion for siding with him and keeping him alive. This resulted in him activating the weapon as a response; Mechira, and turning himself into an AI known as Hephaestus, or simply Heph, to combat the arc dragon in what was known as the Mechira Incident.

After the Incident, Heph's AI was preserved and modified to revert the state of mind of the program back to before Mitchel's descent into insanity. This AI was named Medeus by Gaverash (now going under the name of Dira), and it currently runs on his personal ship.
