Ancient

An Ancient is created when a Vigilant Hardsuit pilot is fatally injured beyond the capability of even a full nano-rejuvenation treatment; the injured individual is sealed away within a specialized neural life-support frame made to be mountable within a Hardsuit chassis. From that point onward, the individual adds the title 'Ancient' to their name, and will continue to serve the Vigilant until their demise by combat (and even this may not stop the soldier from returning as a Revenant).
