Commander Laes is the DYOS XI alias of SEAL SEAL. Having survived the Avatar Wars, Laes retreated into obscurity where he amassed an armada of starships in preparation for a re-emergence against Stylesrj at the Battle of Nar Kreeta. With Stylesrj having died so many times throughout the series, his "original" identity was deemed lost within generations of clones, and Laes in particular developed a nasty inferiority complex.
Conversation in DYOS 10.5 suggests Laes' psyche may have been influenced by prolonged exposure to the Luxury Diamond.[1][2] Laes revealed his ultimate goal is to kill Stylesrj to become the "dominant" avatar, consequently establishing himself as Stylesrj's arch-nemesis. Laes held the strings to most, if not all of the antagonists Stylesrj had yet faced in DYOS XI.
Equipment
Clothing
When not on a mission, Laes normally wears a light brown longcoat and a grey coloured bandanna. This is because he claims the longcoat "makes me look more badass"
Underneath the coat though is a bulletproof vest, because he also added "But the vest makes sure that I am actually protected"
Armour
When Laes is on missions, he normally wears Power Armour to help augment his strength, speed and endurance.
His current armour, as seen on DYOS XI is a suit of Space Marine Power armour in the design of the Imperial Fists. This suit is designed with many protective layers of armour, yet still allows him to be as mobile as Samus in her Zero Suit [1]
Weapons
His primary weapon is a dual-function flamethrower, unlike Stylesrj's single torcher. The flamethrower (or Incinerator) can be fired in projectile format over a long distance, or it can be used in close range as a regular flamethrower with the flick of a dial.
If the Incinerator starts having problems, or he needs to do extreme long range work, he has a Gauss Rifle for such purposes. This weapon can penetrate even the toughest of tank armour by sheer kinetic force alone. It has a short firing time, much like a regular sniper rifle, unlike the Fallout 3 version which requires replacement of the fuel cell every time it fires.
Death
Unfortunately Commander Laes was killed during the Battle of Nar Kreeta and his body cast into a pit of lava. All except for his right arm...
When Dostya came around looking for a new arm, she unknowingly (or perhaps knowingly) grafted his right arm onto her stump. This allowed Laes to somehow possess Dostya from time to time, thus creating Dostya SEAL.
