Riley

Lieutenant Riley, better off known as Riley was a Alliance lieutenant, under command for Solaris and Ebrowns first missions he helped them discover the prescense of Collectors.

Riley was sent out on a mission when alliance ship Bahamut fell under attack by the collectors, thus he was unharmed by the explosion and was not captured.

When Ebrown and Solaris were exploring the ruins of an old colony that was just attacked by Collector forces, they found Riley holding out, shooting the collectors as he tried to make an escape, unable to reach contact with the Alliance he met up with both commanders and agreed that he would leave his old affiliation, The Alliance, behind and join them to help stop the collectors aboard the Ulyssey.

Lieutenant Riley was known for his vast knowledge with weapons and took up the armory in the Ulyssey's department. He was constantly found there creating new weapons and also giving valuable information.

Betrayal

Upon meeting Alexander Tillery for the first time, the commanders found out that someone on the Ulyssey was sending information about the collectors to Tillery, both commanders were ambushed at the citadel as the Alliance said they would take the title of defeating the collectors at their own pace, and own way.

Solaris and Ebrown escaped the citadel and returned to the ship, only to find out the next day the ship would be raided and Alliance troops would take the life of many crew members.

Solaris and Ebrown entered the armory soon as they entered the ships cockpit, to find the body of Riley in the gun workshop, the door sealed and assumed dead.

After both commanders went to the cargo deck, they found Tillery, trapping them swiftly came walking Riley, making a deal with Tillery and saying that he was working with the Alliance all along, already planting a bomb on the ship he was sure he was going to kill the commanders.

After the commanders had shot down Riley they confronted him, still sure they could turn him back as Riley called out to them, saying they were scum for betraying the Alliance, he told them all nothing as he ended his life with one last bullet to the head, with his own gun.

Both commanders, Ebrown badly wounded, entered the engine deck and disabled the bomb at the last second.
