Yeah....he got the whole nine yards too. I heard most doubles just used a kind of camoflauge tech, they weren't physically changed. It's honestly really freaky.
He was the head of one of the biggest arms dealers in the known universe, he probably had just as many enemies as he did people gunning for his spot.
[ pun intended. ]
And you know...fastest way to the top is to just. Kill people.
[ It's just text but the wince Rhys is physically making is evident. Despite becoming as desensitized as he did to all the literal backstabbing on Helios it was still unsavory. He never enjoyed that aspect of ladder climbing, even though he'd basically accepted it as the norm at the time. And that's messed up right? He's starting to think about how that's probably a little messed up. ]
It's a quick and oftentimes easy method, yes. In my experience it's not the most stable, though. But I suppose I never took advantage of my duplicates to the fullest. Landing your own blows is far too satisfying to leave everything up to illusions.
What happened to your boss, in the end? Did his hubris catch up with him? Or an assassin, anyway.

Was your boss in that much danger of being attacked?
