Corvo Attano

Corvo remained quiet, thinking of what to say to Ciri while everything went on. He did wonder how Kassandra, Price, and the others were fairing, as he hadn't seen any of them here either. But just as the many adventures before, circumstantial events cut them off before Corvo could utter a response. The only thing he brought answer to was for the pair that Ciri noticed. He nodded, putting their odd nature to memory. "I recognize them, alright. They were with us in Blood Gulch, but we never really spoke."
After that, they were ushered around to meet with the person who brought them: a bald man named Lex Luthor, who clearly had an influx of funds and resources to pull around. "He reeks of the Lord Regent..." he muttered to nobody in particular.
The comparison was tightened by how easily he ripped the man's daughter away with the press of a button. The past flushed back all at once. He was in Dunwall again, watching Daud murder Jessamina and kidnap young Emily—all at the orders of then-Royal Spymaster, Hiram Burrows. He remembered what it felt like to drive a blade down Hiram's throat as well.
"Which team are you volunteering for?"
Corvo snapped out of his reminiscence by Ciri's question. He'd only now realized he was tuning out of everything. But one glance around and some eavesdropping in their little box, he got an idea of what was happening. "Tactical. I've always been more of the... silent type. But I imagine you're with the more upfront Strike?"
