He is rank 15/C in the Arena.
Biography[]
A veteran independent mercenary who was active in the star system surrounding Rubicon before the Fires of Ibis. Sulla is a patient of Generation One augmentation--or better said, a survivor, as the technology in its infancy had less than a 10% success rate. Though he escaped the fate of the others, Sulla is followed by the specter of Death wherever he goes.
After receiving his surgery, Sulla lost interest in most mercenary work, and now lives only for the hunt. It is unclear who currently employs him. [2]
Sulla atop Watchpoint Delta
During Walter and C4-621's attack on Watchpoint Delta, Sulla appears once 621 reaches the Watchpoint itself, then is subsequently killed in battle by 621. His last words are warning Walter to stay away from the Watchpoint.[1] In the alternate version of this mission, it is hinted that Sulla is working with ALLMIND based on the supporting mystery MTs.
In the mission briefing for Eliminate V.III, it is revealed that ALLMIND considered Sulla, as an exceptional augmented human, for the Coral Release Project and used him to further its plans.

AC ENTANGLE[]
Sulla pilots a red and grey middleweight bipedal AC named ENTANGLE made from Arquebus VP-40S parts on ALLMIND MIND ALPHA legs for close-to-mid-range combat. It is equipped with an ALLMIND model 44-141 JVLN ALPHA detonating bazooka on its right arm and a Takigawa Harmonics model HI-18: GU-A2 pulse gun on its left arm, along with back-mounted missile launchers, a Vvc-703PM plasma missile battery for its right back unit and an ALLMIND 45-091 JVLN BETA missile launcher. Both JVLN units create a chain of delayed explosions that layer on impact damage.
The weapons of ENTANGLE are actually built around dealing with AAP07: BALTEUS, which is the ultimate defense line of Watchpoint Delta.

Gameplay[]
Sulla is a hostile NPC in the "Attack the Watchpoint" mission of ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON. At close and medium ranges, he will make ample use of his pulse energy weapon and bazooka, whereas at longer distances, he will use his back-mounted missiles to keep the player on their toes.
Arena profile[]
A veteran independent mercenary who was active in the star system surrounding Rubicon before the Fires of Ibis. Sulla is a patient of Generation One augmentation—or better said, a survivor, as the technology in its infancy had less than a 10% success rate. Though he escaped the fate of the others, Sulla is followed by the specter of Death wherever he goes. |

Trivia[]
- Sulla refers to the name of a famous Roman general and leader of the Roman Optimates, who sought to maintain the supremacy of the senate against the populist reforms advocated for by the Populares. This is symbolized by his opposition to the relative newcomer 621, establishing himself as dominant, while guarding the PCA craft BALTEUS.
- Sulla's use of ALLMIND parts, and being aided by GHOST MTs during the Alea Iacta Est version of "Attack the Watchpoint" seems to indicate that he is in fact working for ALLMIND, a theory supported by the fact that he is listed among the pilots considered exceptional by ALLMIND and by how he is an early-generation augmented human, who are still capable of making Contact.
- ENTANGLE's paint scheme is shared with Nine-Ball and the Reaper Squad and hints at Sulla's role in the story, as he turns out to be an assassin working closely with ALLMIND in order to eliminate possible threats to their plan. This is similar to the Ravens' Nest and The Foundation and their working relations with Nine-Ball and the Reaper Squad respectively. It also reflects the design of his emblem.
- In the original, when Sulla was defeated, he warned Handler Walter to stay away from the watchpoint. However, in the alternate version of the mission, when Sulla was defeated, he said to Handler Walter to forget about the hound, probably hinting C4-621 is going to work with ALLMIND for the Coral Release Project.

Speculation[]
The following information is "gray area" content — it may not be completely factual, and/or falls under YMMV territory.
- It is possible that Sulla formerly worked with Handler Walter as "C1-249" due to the pair being overly familiar with one another.
- Handler Walter immediately knew Sulla's exact augmented human designation.
- Sulla claims to have hunted several of Walter's "Hounds" in previous engagements.
- Sulla pities C4-621 for being Walter's hound.
