Defiance/R

Rathus Parabba
Rathus was an Irathient and a member of the Spirit Riders under Sukar. He was also the brother of Nizar. When the Irathient Plague hit Defiance, all remaining members of the Spirit Riders, as well as other Irathients such as Irisa Nyira were placed into quarantine in the McCawley Mines. Human miners served as guards of the quarantine and tensions ran high. One of the miners, Gail, entered the area and disrupted the group during an Irathient prayer ritual. Rathus attacked her and the other guards were forced to shoot him. Datak Tarr later delivered the news to Nizar that Rathus was dead.

Razor rain
Razor rain refers to the sudden storms of debris left behind by arkfall that comes down through the atmosphere as pieces of shrapnel. Such phenomenon are unpredictable and very dangerous. The Irathient known as Sukar was killed by a shard of razor rain that embedded itself in his neck. Joshua Nolan made an emergency broadcast over Raider Radio warning the people of Defiance of an encroaching storm. A young daredevil calling himself "Hot Shtako" went out into the storm with rudimentary armor components for the thrill of it. He likely would have been killed had Deputy Tommy LaSalle not intervened. Tommy himself was injured by a piece of shrapnel that pierced his side. As he put it, "I zigged when I should have zagged".

Roller
A roller is a four-wheeled motorized vehicle similar to a dune buggy. They are a common means of transportation in the year 2046, often utilized by raiders and scavengers. These vehicles come in various shapes and sizes and usually include extensive armored plating, and sometimes weaponry. Rollers are particularly useful when traversing the rough terrain of the Badlands in old Missouri. Joshua Nolan and Irisa Nyira used a roller while scavenging through some arkfall debris, which is when they first encountered the Spirit Riders. The Riders stole their wares and also took possession of their roller. One of their members, Nizar, used a roller in an attempt to avoid being hit by deadly razor rain.

Rynn Grisu
Rynn was a female Irathient and the foster-daughter of Sukar as well as a member of the Spirit Riders. She had a warrior's heart, but felt no small measure of disgust upon meeting Irisa Nyira, whom she regarded as Joshua Nolan's "pet". Rynn later journeyed to Defiance with the other members of the Spirit Riders where she found the men responsible for killing her parents, Boyd Bowen and Dalton Taggert. She used Hellbug pheromones to lure the dangerous Hellbugs to Bowen and Taggert's location, where they were then killed.
