I'm sure I'm very late to this boat, but does anyone wonder who 'Red' of the ARKZ really is?
I know I did, playing through PSO Ep III again, I noticed something in the dialogue that never really clicked with me before.
Reiz and Rio Both mention Principal Colin Tyrell at some point or another mysteriously 'vanishing' and no one seems to know where 'Red' Came from at all.
There's also the Anti-Aging Drugs that are meant for Newmen, when Nef Miyama used them, he was reduced to an almost child-like state, What's to say that's always the effect they'll have on humans? And Doesn't Red himself even resemble a younger Tyrell? They have the same face!
Furthermore there's his codename: 'Red' As in, 'Red Ring Rico' He clearly never got over the loss of his daughter, after all. There's also the fact that they specifically state Castor and Pollux are NOT his real daughters, but clones of them, this opens two avenues: One, they're both clones of Rico, spliced differently to suit their unique abilities, Or, Two: No one ever said that Colin Tyrell only had one daughter. Either way, it would not be beyond Principal Dol Grisen to punish his predecessor for hindering his plans by way of harming his family, Tyrell easily could have taken this as the 'last straw.'
Remember, after he left the position as Principal, he headed up the Environmental Bureau, This would give him access to the funds, resources and labor he'd need to construct the ARKZ's R-Base, As we know from Peko and Memoru's dialogue, Sue and Black Paper are clearly involved with the ARKZ as Financial Support if nothing else. And Black Paper is controlled by the Three Nation's Alliance. Meaning specific government ties, It's not that unfeasible to think that an Ex-Principal who lost his family may turn to something like this as a way of setting things right again.
So, What do you think? Is it at least possible? Or did ST just throw another character name in and figure "fuck it, no one will care anyways"?
