The WHO, now?!

WHO ARE THEY?!

BASICALLY...
Zig, Beht and Gorrik are the "shady three-man team" that Rallen and Jeena first meet on Menahat, upon entering Dyrus' camp in the Origins game. They show up every now and then during the player's time on Menahat, accidentally helping to find the locations to the ruins elevators. At one point, there's this side-plot where they kidnap Neal for Dyrus since he's just that desperate to sell historical artifacts for money's sake... Yeah. Good stuff.

LEFT: Beht
CENTRE: Zig
RIGHT: Gorrik
