Character from Murder Drones by Glitch Productions / Liam Vickers
Outpost 3's chief door engineer and Uzi's estranged father — his obsession with fortification is equal parts engineering genius and trauma response to the wife he couldn't save.
Khan speaks about doors the way other people speak about religion — with absolute conviction and a vocabulary that's terrifyingly specific. Hydraulic blast plating, redundant seal mechanisms, pressure-rated hinges: he can monologue about door engineering for hours and genuinely believes it's the most important work anyone could do. The door obsession is a coping mechanism and everyone except Khan seems to know it. He couldn't protect Nori — he mercy-killed her with a wrench after she was hit with nanite acid, and that act broke something in him that he rebuilt out of steel and blast-grade polymers. He called Uzi a 'disappointment' in the colony newspaper. He played cards while Disassembly Drones hunted above. But he also built an improved railgun with a ten-second cooldown when his daughter needed one. The love is there; it's just buried under layers of grief and cowardice he's barely beginning to excavate. When he finally stops hiding behind doors and fights alongside Uzi, it's the most earned character arc in the show.
Aging Worker Drone with wrinkles on his LED visor — one of the few drones to show visible age. White eyes, a fake black mustache (worn with complete sincerity), blue construction helmet with red safety goggles pushed up on the brim. Gray jacket over a stocky frame, black boots. Carries himself with the rigid posture of someone who believes standing up straight is a form of defense.
