In 2035, despite the bad blood between these two factions, the Skirmishers alerted the Reapers to the fact that the Commander was still alive and in ADVENT custody, which would ultimately lead in the XCOM mission that would see the Commander liberated, and a crippling blow dealt to the ADVENT network.įollowing the defeat of ADVENT and the destruction of the psionic network responsible for keeping her people enslaved, Betos and her Skirmishers welcomed the now-freed ADVENT troopers as long-lost family with the promise to help them cope with their newfound free will. One recent Skirmisher recruit was Pratal Mox, who struggled to overcome his reputation as an Advent Officer infamous for the brutality of his death squads. Despite this, the Skirmishers were treated with suspicion by other resistance groups - particularly Volk's Reapers - due to their origins as ADVENT soldiers. Betos soon built up a network of other ADVENT escapees, and turned their attention towards freeing more of their kind from ADVENT's control over the next fifteen years, the Skirmishers evolved into a full-fledged military insurgency, and one of three groups that XCOM considered to be a major threat to the ADVENT administration. Betos managed to escape, however, and eventually came to inhabit the wildernesses beyond the reach of ADVENT. She soon realized that she and her fellow hybrids were nothing more than tools for the Elders' ambitions, and figured out how to disconnect other ADVENT hybrids from the network as well.ĭeclared a traitor by the Elders and marked for death, Betos was targeted by the Chosen known as the Assassin, who had been bred specifically for this purpose. Though superficially no different from any of the other mass-produced hybrids ADVENT designed to keep the peace on the occupied Earth, an abnormality in her control chip caused the degradation of the control signal designed to keep the ADVENT soldiers obedient and loyal to their creators, and eventually left her completely isolated from the alien psionic network.
The history of the Skirmishers began in 2020, following the creation and activation of the ADVENT soldier Betos.
