Emery Eden
Emery Eden is the main antagonist of Guard Duty, voiced by series co-creator Revoltge. He is an assassin with a vendetta against Trinity, specifically one of its founders who happens to be the mother of Geff Rodrigo. As part of his one-man war against them, he kidnapped Geff as well as the other guards stationed on Outpost Black Out.
Personality
Emery is a deranged and violent man who usually attacks first and asks questions later, with the major exception being the guards of Outpost Black Out, but only because it serves his purposes. He's also delusional, seeing a manifestation of his more rational thoughts in the form of Prim, one of his many victims.
Biography

Classic Continuity
Events of Classic Season 1
In Infinity, Emery poses as a pilot for the UNSC in order to take the guards from Outpost Black Out. He reveals to Geff Rodrigo that he killed the original pilot sent to do said job.
Events of Classic Season 2
After stranding Geff and the guards from Outpost Black Out on Cold Storage, creating a lie about their Spartan status as seen in the opening of Dare, Emery goes and eliminates the guards on Outpost Ice Box in Elsewhere. Now joined by Prim, a manifestation of Emery's more rational thoughts, Emery returns to Cold Storage in Arrival to threaten June and Sarah before hiding again.
He returns fully in Truth, in which he expresses his identity as a hitman with no ties to the UNSC and that he intended to take Geff in order to spite the engineer at Trinity who happens to be Geff's mother. When Miller attempts to tackle him, Emery simply hits the old captain unconscious with the butt of his rifle before doing the same to Geff. However, during Dare, Emery and the guards are ambushed by assassins Molotov and Cocktail on behalf of Trinity, leading Emery to take Geff and dive into the ocean.
Later, arriving on an unknown shipyard, Emery and Prim squabble before Geff wakes up. Despite keeping Geff alive through the ocean swim, Geff expresses discomfort with the situation, leading Emery to yell at him.
Trivia
- Much, if not most, of Emery's dialogue is improvised by his voice actor, Revoltge.
- In the original script for Infinity, Emery was intended to be a throwaway character as an inexperienced UNSC pilot. When series co-writer Revoltge was cast, the character's personality was drastically changed and his role was later expanded due to series creator Syp The Mighty enjoying his performance so much.
- He is exclusively referred to as "the Pilot" from his debut until Reactionary. Revoltge had actually came up with Emery's real name in 2012 while he and Syp were producing Annoyances, a Sides episode. It would not be revealed until 11 years later, in Truth, the penultimate episode of Season 2.
- While he debuted wearing a Scout chest plate in Infinity, he instead has a Recon chest plate to complete the armor set upon his return in Elsewhere. This was an error, as Syp had misremembered his chest plate during production and had yet to fully rewatch the first season. Because of this, Syp included an explanation in the final episode of WarGames, in which Emery appears with his original Scout chest plate before stealing the Recon chest plate from the corpse of Spartan Louie Vargas, who had died in the previous episode. For consistency, Emery is seen wearing the Scout chest plate again in Dare's opening flashback to when he lied to the guards about being reassigned to Cold Storage.
- In Truth, he reveals he used to be an ODST and fought during the Invasion War prior to becoming an assassin.
