Mahoney "Pile Driver" Redreav-The Sole Surviving LLC Mining Forman

Name: Mahoney “Pile Driver” Redreav. A foreman in the Last Light Consortium’s aggressive drilling operations in and around Solus, attempting to extract precious metals for production in Minion Robotics. After an attack by the Varelsi in his dig site and witnessing the deaths of several of his workers, he quit and joined up with the Battleborn after a Peacekeeper patrol led by Trevor Ghalt saved him as the sole survivor of the raid. Mahoney is well known for his years in the Peacekeepers before the LLC split off from the military to form their own organization. He was one of the most insane people to survive experimental insertion technology by warping short distances and establishing a beachhead for friendly forces.

Health: 1930

Armor: 200

Role: Defender/Rescuer/Tank

Weapon: High Powered Drill, Kinetic Exo Arm. The drill is a melee weapon which deals constant damage to the target and can overheat while the exo arm can block enemy projectiles until it overheats and needs to cool down. Mahoney does not use a shield in battle, instead he relies upon Exo Armor which provides him a 25% damage reduction.

Ability 1: Drill Rocket: Launches your drill like a missile dealing 230 damage to enemies within a certain radius, explodes on contact. Does more damage depending on how much heat the weapon has accumulated, up to 50% additional damage.

Ability 2:  Kinetic Sentinel: Rip three rocks out of the earth which circle you taking damage from enemy attacks while active, each rock can absorb up to 316 damage. Lasts eight seconds. While this ability is active, you cannot use your Kinetic Exo Arm to block projectile attacks

Ultimate: Warp Beacon: Throw down a warp beacon which starts spawning robotic minions to fight by your side until they self-destruct dealing 105 damage to any enemies who kill them. Spawns a total of 5 minions over the course of 10 seconds. You and your teammates can respawn at your Warp Beacon if either are killed, but you start with half your health upon respawn. The beacon itself has 1000 health, each time either a minion or a player spawns on the beacon, it loses 100 health.

Talent: Gaia Armor System: An experimental armor system which provides Mahoney with a repairable layer of protection. Every six seconds, 80 armor points are restored and while at least one point is active the character cannot take health damage.
