Full Name: Unknown Codename: Maine, The Meta Voice Actor: Matt Hullum Armor Color: White with Brown Trim (as The Meta), White with Orange Trim (as Maine) Armor Ability: Originally Super Strength, later Domed Energy Shield (from North), Cloaking (from Tex), and Temporal Distortion (from Wyoming) Implanted AI: Originally Sigma (from Carolina), later Eta and Iota (from Carolina), Theta (from North), Gamma (from Wyoming's helmet), Omega and Tex (from Tex), and Delta (from Caboose) Appearances: Season 6-10 Status: Deceased The Meta, the primary antagonist of the Recollection trilogy. It is later revealed that The Meta is a former Freelancer, Agent Maine. The Meta has an inability to speak due to an injury he sustained in earlier missions. He first appears in Reconstruction as a mysterious character, who is hunting down Freelancers, killing them, and taking their equipment and AIs. He referred to as "The Meta" by Agent Washington and the Counselor, in reference to a cryptic message scratched into a wall of Outpost 17-B's Red base. He proves to be a capable foe for The Reds, Blue and Washington. Prior to the events of Reconstruction he managed to obtain seven AIs, and eventually obtains an eighth before losing them all when Washington sets off an EMP at Freelancer command. In Revelation, The Meta is shown to be working with Washington. He is also shown to have difficulties using his armor enhancements due to the loss of his AIs. The Meta later captures Tex's AI and betrays Washington, using the captured Tex to power its cloaking field. Later, when the Reds and Blues attack, The Meta manages to fight them off, but Sarge tricks him and attaches a Warthog's tow-hook to his chest. Grif and Simmons push the Warthog over a nearby cliff. Sarge manages to dislodge the capture unit from The Meta's back just before he is pulled over the edge, where he falls to his death. In the Season 9 and Season 10 flashbacks, Maine is shown to be less skilled in combat than other Freelances such as Tex and Carolina, relying primarily on brute strength than precise skill. However, he more than makes up for this through his incredible endurance. He is consistently shown to continue fighting despite suffering injuries that would cripple, if not outright kill, anyone else. During one mission in Season 9, Maine took a sniper bullet to the chest and had an entire magazine of bullets emptied into his neck. It is this injury that is the reason why he cannot speak in other seasons. In the flashbacks of Season 9, Agent Maine can be heard speaking briefly several times and possesses a very deep and rough voice. In Chapter 6 of Season 10, he is shown without his helmet, revealing that he is bald, the back of his head is clearly seen in Chapter 18 revealing that he has the "Meta" symbol tattooed on the back of his head. In Season 10, Carolina gave Maine her AI, Sigma, so he could communicate with the others after his throat injury. Sigma then conceives the idea that he can become The Meta, and in turn, corrupts Agent Maine. In the present day, Carolina believes the creation of The Meta was her fault, as it was her AI.
