Species: Human
Riley is a member of Tyler Wat’s contingent of former Goshenite radicals in Second Wave. While not as aggressive as Cannon or Hauser, Riley is notorious among the resistance for his overpowering body odor, which Ellie Nardino describes as a combination of “rotten garlic and wet dog.” His persistent “fragrance” makes him an object of ridicule and irritation, particularly during the cramped and stealth-sensitive mission to reach the downed Ban Ki-moon.
Though not directly involved in any of the serious misconduct committed by others in Wat’s unit, Riley’s presence underscores the resistance’s struggle to integrate unstable, ill-disciplined former war criminals into their ranks. He frequently picks fights with JT Austin and Eric Yuwono.
