Sigma

Sigma was once the honorable commander of the Maverick Hunters. He was an intelligent leader who easily held the respect of his subordinates. He had a tinge of arrogance, but was ultimately a noble warrior who dutifully protected the humans and his fellow Reploids. However, after being infected by the Maverick Virus, Sigma's flaws were amplified and his moral inhibitions were undone, starting him on the path to become the most infamous Maverick of all time. Sigma gained an extreme pro-Reploid and anti-human prejudice. He believed that humans only held back the development and evolution of Reploids, and the world would be better off without them. He exhibited traits of savior complex, genuinely believing his crimes were in the best interests of Reploids and that the ends would justify his violent means. His "protection through aggression" philosophy mutated into a Darwinism complex, believing that anything too weak to progress should be eliminated. He did not hesitate to cause global destruction and catastrophe for his goals. He would laugh maniacally and torment his opponents as much as possible. With his electronic brain adapting to the Sigma Virus, Sigma even gained disregard for his own body, acting self-destructively as he could reliably survive any defeat through the virus. Amidst his madness, Sigma remained a cunning strategist, formulating a variety of plans to conquer the world. He was a masterful manipulator, on more than one occasion turning allies of X and Zero against them. His charisma made him the perfect leader for Maverick rebellions, disguising his insanity and swaying many Hunters to support his cause even without using the Sigma Virus. Still, even he had some reservations, as he noticeably was disgusted with Berkana and the lengths she was willing to go to satisfy her megalomania Over the course of the Maverick Wars, Sigma came to respect the rookie Maverick Hunter, X. He claimed that X's devotion to justice is part of what made him begin seeking to change the world in the first place, and he was utterly fascinated by X's powers and his inability to go Maverick. He also held an obsession with Zero, due to him being the original holder of the Maverick Virus and formerly a close ally in the Maverick Hunters. Axl, on the other hand, he saw as little more than a tool in his schemes and an outdated prototype for the superior new generation Reploids. As Sigma was continually destroyed and resurrected, his sanity began to degrade. The proud warrior fell into a cackling, remorseless psychopath by the Great Repliforce War, and after being resurrected by Gate he was borderline senile. He regained his composure to control Red Alert, and he finally gathered the foresight to pass his revolutionary ideas on to the new generation Reploids, apparently aware that he was coming to the end of the line.
