Teleos Triton Tanager, aka 3T, is a musician and pop star from the Twilight Mirage currently living on the Brink. His fans are called Troublemakers. He always carries his synth kit with him, which uses the Mesh to allow him to play hard light instruments that can make any sound.
Deutsch Synchro is helping him assemble a network of like-minded connections, while Cheal Pushy has heard rumors that 3T is smuggling soldiers and weapons onto Palisade on the blue orange shipments.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
3T's face cast is the rapper Teezo Touchdown, and his braids are similarly woven through with nails, though the nails in 3T's hair are glowing and vibrating; some are physically there and some are added through augmented reality. He has smokey eyes, perfect makeup, and battle scars. He wears a vintage coat from the Empyrean military of the pre-Quire era.
While meeting with Mustard Red at Brink Proxy for the first time, he disguises himself from the adoring masses with sunglasses, a face mask, and a hat/hood. During an assemblage in "Orbital Pt. 4" he wears a gray business suit with a thin silver tie.
His playbook in Orbital has the characteristic "enchanting beauty"[1] and Austin has called him "very hot".[2]
Personality[edit | edit source]
3T is the Mirage's version of a war hawk, wanting to strike back against the Principality's invasion of Palisade at all costs and spurring his followers to do the same. He's confident, considering himself a visionary and a powerful leader. However, he is actually being manipulated and pushed toward war by various people (most connected to the Devotees), including his lover Decario Dicario as well as C.T.H. Pasodoble.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Named songs by 3T include "My Love is a Sword",[1] "Blue Limit", "Problem Not a Problem", "All Xed Out", "Bonjour Horizon", "Makeup Breakup Fakeup", and "Morning Mirage".[3]
