Scarface

"Are Reploids mere machines? No! We possess will. We have life! We must take our destiny into our hands!"

"Only future generations will have the right to say whether we are truly Maverick or not."

- Scarface

Scarface (スカーフェイス) is the "Plasma Energy Reploid: Knight Type" from Mega Man X: Command Mission. He served as Epsilon's right-hand man and was the third member of the Rebellion Cadre.

Characteristics
Scarface is a tall Reploid with yellow armor. His legs and shoulders have an orange wing design on them, and his shoulders are wide with spikes on them. His entire head is covered in a form-fitting black helmet, and his right eye appears purely white as though it was once damaged. He has a head of long, silver-blue hair that flows behind himself. In battle he wields a double-bladed beam lance.

A noble knight-type character, Scarface stands by Epsilon to the very end supporting the ideals of the Rebellion. Scarface possesses a deep sense of honor and loyalty, following Epsilon's orders to the letter and fighting with the valor of a true knight. He was willing to throw away his own life for the cause. He often does not attack unless ordered by Epsilon or otherwise provoked - interestingly, Scarface never killed a single Reploid that attacked him at the Central Tower base. After X and company intercept and fend off his attack, they encounter a damaged Reploid who reveals that despite the fact that he attacked Scarface, the Reploid knight showed him mercy and even healed him. All this shows that he doesn't like to kill unless it is necessary.

Mega Man X: Command Mission
Scarface first appears when Shadow betrays X and Zero for the Rebellion Army at the Lagrano Ruins. He tries to attack Zero while he is immobilized by Ferham's whip, but X helps him avoid the attack. In the battle that ensues, both the Maverick Hunters escape, but are separated.

Scarface later speaks to Botos under the Vanallia Desert, telling him to finish off X and his party after they've fallen through the quicksand.

After X's excursion at Melda Ore Plant, Scarface invades Central Tower alone, believing the Resistance had taken the Supra-Force Metal from the missile and wishing to avenge his fallen comrades. He personally challenges X to combat, but is defeated. He recognizes X's strength and, upon being questioned, reveals that they need the Supra-Force Metal not only as a powerful bargaining tool, but also to help Reploids evolve and take their destinies into their own hands. He then flees the scene.

Scarface returns to the Rebellion hideout within the Grave Ruins Base, and the Resistance manages to trace his location to Epsilon's base of operations. X's team pursues him there and confront Epsilon in the Hall of Glory, but Scarface intervenes to fight them off so Epsilon can escape. After being defeated by X, Scarface dies in an explosion while exclaiming "Glory to the Rebellion!" Epsilon appreciates Scarface's sacrifice and show of loyalty, but decides to stay and fight, believing that combat with X is an inevitability. He is defeated in the ensuing battle.

Rockman Online
He was slated to make an appearance in the canceled Korean MMORPG Rockman Online, but as of now, what part he played in the game's storyline is unknown.

First Encounter at Central Tower
X: Who are you?!

Scarface: I am Scarface, a Rebellion Army Cadre. I have come to avenge my fallen comrades, and to take back the Supra-Force Metal!

(Scarface turns around to face the group.)

Scarface: X! I challenge you to combat!

X: You want the Supra-Force Metal?

Scarface: That's right! We need it to realize our vision! It's essential. Now, return it to us!

Scarface: You're a strong one.

X: What is this ideal you're after?! And what does a dangerous weapon like Supra-Force Metal have to do with it?!

Scarface: The Rebellion and its Commander... do not wish to wage war! Why pit Reploid against Reploid?!

Steel Massimo: Yeah! Why stir up trouble?

Scarface: Because you deny us our dream! Commander Epsilon ordered us not to attack unless provoked. I've come here of my own volition.

X: When I fought you, I realized that you're not the kind of Reploid that would use power to achieve crazed aims. So why in the world would you use a deadly weapon like Supra-Force Metal, and risk creating Mavericks?

Scarface: A weapon? Yes, it can be used as a weapon. But Supra-Force Metal was originally created to heighten the capabilities of Reploids. By using it to improve ourselves, we have the potential to evolve by our own will! Are Reploids mere machines? No! We possess will. We have life! We must take our destiny into our hands!

X: But... You're playing with fire. What if you cause a Maverick epidemic?

Scarface: Who are you to judge!? Only future generations will have the right to say whether we are truly Maverick or not. But, enough talk! X, I must admit you possess great strength. A pity we were not fated to join forces. Today I shall retreat. You had best pray we never meet again!

(Scarface leaves.)

Trivia

 * It is interesting to note that by Chapter 9, Scarface is the only Rebellion Army Cadre left unhindered; the others had all been defeated by X and his party.


 * Like the other high-ranking members of the Rebellion Army (Ferham and Epsilon), Scarface is left-handed.


 * It's implied via dialogue that Scarface knows about X's Variable Weapon System, and explains that if Epsilon lost to X, not only would the Rebellion cease to exist, but would power X up.
