Raphael Moreno

Appearance
At the time the party meet him Raphael is middle-aged, dark haired but with signs of greying. Unlike many members of Haliathe he has physically aged surprisingly well, likely due to a lack of exposure to combat.

Personality
Moreno is respectful to the party, considering any friends of SID's to be friends of his. He is forthcoming with them and gladly offers them help without being asked, even insisting that he wouldn't let them risk their own lives exploring the Gravewaters mines unless there was something he could offer in return. When the crew returned having lost Carmine and with no good news regarding the search for the missing miners, Moreno did not treat them harshly, having faith that they did what they could.

Moreno sees SID as a son, having recovered and repaired him and reconstructing his AI after partitioning his memory and effectively blocking out SID's recollections of any time before being part of Corvus. He places particular concern over SID's safety compared to the rest of the crew, and makes sure to be clear in his meaning when talking to SID, given his tendency to take information too literally.

Biography
Raphael at some point in the past raised SID as a son, but was fearful that Corvus would have him destroyed if the advanced capabilities of his AI were discovered. He set SID loose vowing that he would one day find a way out of Corvus Company to join him. However he never did and when he was encountered again was in charge of overseeing the mining operation at Gravewaters. He was overjoyed to be reunited with SID, albeit briefly and after explaining the situation in the mines offered to gave sent Carmine with the crew to guide them, Moreno staying behind to continue his job of repairing defunct mining drones. When the party returns he explains that Carmine was the village mayor's grandson, hence the impending exile, and was regretful that he could not provide further assistance, having no knowledge of when anyone would be coming to relieve the stationed group of duty. He offered instead advice of two places that could gain them transport: the pirate stronghold of Epsilon Station and the markets of Caiaphas, where at an unknown time he claimed to have seen Ulysses fight at their famous arena.
