Description
The Mirage Teams (Equipe Mirage in French) are special units of small size, created originally by the Merovingian Army to perform military operations denoted as “surgical”: fast, very tough and spectacular, in which stealth is not important. The missions of Mirage Teams see a high risk level and elevated casualty count.
The Mirage-5 Team, formed by Berthier and Duroc, is one of the oldest and most successful teams. Lieutenant Margot Berthier is an ex-NCO from the Merovingian airborne troopers, from there passing to the Special Operations Command of the Ariadnan Army’s Military Intelligence. She also lead an airborne shock commando troop in the Ariadna Exemption Zone, heading various extremely successful attacks against Panoceanian forces that tried to advance in the area. However, the commando group lost effective strength from every mission due to the high risk rate. After six months of operations, the only survivors of the commando group were her and another NCO, so the unit was disbanded. Trying to overcome the deaths of her comrades, Margot requested a transfer to the Moblots, the Merovingian heavy infantry. The new environment helped her to calm down and polish her combat skills. When she felt restored, Margot came back to Intelligence. A few missions later, she recovered her Mirage Team status. In Intelligence circles, she is the only operative readmitted to the Mirage Teams after a leave of absence. Berthier has the reputation of being a shrewd, tough and sly officer, and an excellent shot as well. She has a personal and deadly style, characterized by her absolute precision and an almost perverse apparent lack of effort. In one of her missions she met Duroc, perceived his potential, and recruited him to the Mirage Teams. Since then, they have constituted a tight tactical team, covering their backs mutually. Margot is the brains and the markswoman of the team, while Duroc is the muscles and provides the psychological impact of extreme and sudden violence.
Duroc is one of the few Dogfaces capable of performing combat jumps, with a parachute or from a helicopter. The instinctive fear of flying most Dogfaces suffer, and the stress and excitement of imminent combat, normally provokes their violent transmutation to Dog-Warriors, with unfortunate consequences for vehicles and their crew. Sergeant Duroc has no more willpower than any other Dogface, but the presence of Lieutenant Berthier has a remarkably relaxing effect on his state of mind.
