Notable Cyphers

These are Cyphers who have some form of important presence on Coda, but haven’t been seen prominently as of 468 LV.

Benwick Xan

Benwick Xan was a brilliant Cypher of his day. He was adamant on learning to pilot a javelin, even though it was frowned upon to do so for Cyphers. During one expedition, while was piloting a javelin, his heightened senses confused him and he ended up killing the person he was supposed to protect. His story is still told as the Cypher who wanted to fly to everyone in Bastion as a reminder of what would happen if a Cypher wishes to fly a javelin.

Gad

Gad is a Cypher partner of Freelancer Rythe. During the Icetide of 468 LV, Gad was cyphering Rythe as she was trying to reach the Hammertop Mountains to show the view to little Hope through a special helmet. Around this time, he helped Rythe against the outlaws and was able to connect Hope to the helmet that connects to the gateway, so that the child could see what Rythe wanted to show her.

Rythe's nickname for Gad is Gaddy.

Encountered Cyphers

These are the Cyphers with whom the Freelancer encounters during any expedition but aren’t represented enough in any Anthem related media to justify their own pages. Their faces aren’t usually shown during any expedition, and they are shown with generic Cypher models. They may, however be alive or dead. They may even be voiced.

Talako

Owen, being the little rascal he is, tries to confuse this Cypher by saying that the amplifier chair she was using, while the Freelancer visited him, was fuzzy.
