The Slither is a myth, a legend, and figure of imagination or so house militaries claim.
He is a man , a pirate, only to be known as Slither. Slither is a member of a organisation known as " The Vultures" this organisation was a secret, known only to the most dangerous pirates and mercenaries alive.
They killed everyone and anything that they thought were standing in the way of time. They believed that time was a gift from the gods, and shouldnt be altered. Who ever stood out of the crowd who seemed to be wanting to change beliefs and the course of time, were killed. " The Vultures" were a group who hide in the shadows watching every civilian as well as Military Officers such as Admiral Hale.
During the war between Bretonia and Kusari, a unknown, un-registered vessel was sighted in the taus only to be " The Vultures" secret hide-out, only this encounter wasnt ignored, Kusari sent their ships to investigate certain areas of sighting. One Bomber squad was deployed after a Kusari Weapon dealer saw a ship several meters away from Battleship Yamaguchi, as the ship was just out of range of the battleship as well as undetected by its scanners the bombers were sent to destroy the hideout. As KNF had the element of surprise, the bombers launched torpedos directly at the ships engines, causing half of the Vultures crew gone. Many systems were offline including Life support, Slither ordered his own "Team" to evacuate while the leader of the Vultures were left to die.
Slither and his team were left to rat in space 'till the end of time, or so they thought, several BAF scouts were launched from Battleship Macduff to investigate the sudden destruction of the hide-out. The Pods were beamed aboard and interrogated by BAF. Slither's men died during the interrogation for suspecting to be working along side Kusari. during a course of a attack from Outcasts as well as KNF, Slither and his last standing man escaped.
Slither's man "Bite" was killed, due to his belief that the remaining Vultures should stop the war between Kusari and Bretonia, Slither didn't agree with Bite, and so he killed him in his sleep.
Slither's where-about are unknown, rumour has it that Slither has searched for refuge in Planet Leeds Sewers, waiting for his time for Mercs and Freelancer to work for him yet again, and to counter the VIPs of Sirius who want to make it a better place.
its not clear but their job is to monitor rising problems, and not actually kill them.
With Slithers men KIA, Slither lonely cold heart dying of old age, it was time for Slither to take his last stand against time it self.
