Signas

Signas (シグナス) is the leader of the Maverick Hunters from Mega Man X5 and onward until Mega Man X8. He was, presumably, one of the last Reploids created by Dr. Cain. He cares for both humans and Reploids, and is a tactical genius. He commands every Maverick Hunter mission. According to Mega Man X5's instruction manual he has the most precise CPU of all Reploids. When the previous commander of the Maverick Hunters, Dr. Cain, resigned out of guilt for the Repliforce War, Signas was chosen to take the reigns. He was a young commander with almost no experience, but he had an incredibly precise CPU, and was confident of his abilities. Soon after he became Commander of the Hunters, the Sigma Virus emergency broke out. Signas handled it professionally, always remaining cool in tough situations and never letting emotion destroy his ability to find the best strategy. During the Nightmare outbreak, he remained calm and focused while the Nightmare wreacked havoc on Reploids everywhere. During the subsequent Red Alert crisis, he maintains his overall cool demeanor, even in light of X refusing to fight for a time. It is Signas who is always there lately to tell X to cool down, to let him know when he's overreacting. Additionally, it is Signas that seems to finally tire of X's "whining", and even politely tells him to knock it off.



Trivia

 * Notably, his name sounds similar to Sigma, whom ironically was the leader of the Maverick Hunters some time before him.

 * In The Day of Σ, after the Mechaniloid battle at the beginning, a Hunter talks to Sigma that resembles a lot like Signas from behind, possibly making a cameo.
