Animus served on the Ethics Committee meetings at the Kimia Facility, alongside Trailbreaker and Xaaron.

Notes
- His death at the hands of the Sparkeater revealed that Animus possessed a green spark. Although seemingly irrelevant at the time, information has since come to light revealing that Animus was likely a Point One Percenter, explaining why Animus was targeted in the first place; the Sparkeater was attracted to Animus's strong spark energy.
