English:Ray · Characters

A tongueless Hive Soldier Drone slave who can be bought off a drunk for 1,000 Cats. Every combat skill sits at 10, and if you kill his owner first the character is gone from that playthrough for good.

Aye, got no tongue, past owner cut it out. He can be a pretty feisty one so can't say I blame 'em for it. I can just picture the bastard givin' lip, probably woulda done the same myself... I tell ya, I need to make my money back somehow, don't care if I gotta make bonemeal outta the good-for-nothing meat sack. — Bar fly

Ray is a unique recruit, a Hive Soldier Drone. He is a mute slave, and can be bought for 1,000 Cats from a character called Bar fly.

Where to buy him

Bar fly is a member of the Empire Peasants, and can be found lamenting her purchase over a drink while considering turning him into goat feed.

ImportantKill Bar fly first and Ray can never be recruited. That road does not reopen. On top of that, Ray spawns only once per playthrough — other bar flies may appear later with the sale dialogue still available, but there will be no second Ray to sell.

The cost

NotePurchasing Ray reduces the player's relations with the Slave Traders by 5.

He cannot speak

Ray has no tongue, so he cannot interact with any shopkeeper or non-player character.

TipThere is one technical exception — dialogue may still trigger on him if someone runs up to talk to him, such as freed slaves or bandit leaders. The wiki classes this as a bug.

Starting state

He begins wearing Hive Prisoner Shackles, but those shackles are already unlocked and can simply be removed. He also carries the 'obedient slave' task flag, which means nothing at all, since he is owned by the player faction.

Statistics

Every combat skill is 10, with Toughness and Melee Attack at 12 and Athletics at 15; almost everything else is 1. He wears no armour.

TipHe is a blank slate. 1,000 Cats is among the cheapest recruitment prices in the game, and the Hive Soldier Drone racial multipliers are not bad in melee — he simply needs somebody to train him from nothing.
