Nicholas Saiga was last seen in the Byakuren plot. His last appearance was in the Moonlit Daisies thread, where the character was removed from the plot. Raz and I had differences that made it preferable to smoothly remove him from the plot.
When active, I valued Saiga as a very thought out character, and it showed in most of every post Raz made with him. The experience of his Chusa rank really showed. He's still a Geshrin and doesn't mean to move to any other body. He's rather critical of the nekovalkyrja race and the superior airs they can put at times, but he mostly manages to sweep that under his great dedication to the titled amongst the governing body of Yamatai. Regardless of personnal preferences, he's shown utter and complete loyalty and devotion to the Army's chain of command and the Empress' rule.
If Saiga showed flaws in my plot, they seemed to rest on his preference with protocol having him unable to adapt well with the professionally subpar nature of SARP player crews. Personally, I found that entertaining to see (I seldom saw him to be unjustified in his annoyance), though he really wasn't working out that well with the rest of the crew to the point of earning their hidden dislike.
I generally was pretty impressed with the character.
