Aga Mbadi, "Trinidad"

Officially the assistant chairman of LADDER, the Tiphares council and a celebrated hero, Aga Mbadi is known as Trinidad because he has the brain chips of three Tipharean geniuses inside his own head. Mbadi has more power and hidden agendas than most realize.
Officially a supporter of the Mars Kingdom Parliament, he had Queen Limeira's father assassinated for yet undisclosed reasons. He directs the development of the transhuman world and the cooperation between the powers of the solar system. LADDER's military forces including its interplanetary peacekeepers and special forces who use stealth camouflage to make themselves invisible also fall under his command.
Part of his rise to power appears to have been because of a mission to Pluto in which he appeared to be the sole survivor. Mbadi had a previously close relationship with Caerula Sanguis that has not yet been fully revealed. The two were once friends, and Mbadi knows quite a great deal about Caerula's background and her capabilities as a Type-V mutant (BIOLOGICALLY ENGINEERED VAMPIRE). This relationship however has since evolved into one of mutual hostility, and both now seek to kill each other.
Mbadi is a powerful hacker and the only one who is a match for the Super-Hacker known as "Ping". He can hack into cyborg bodies by just being in the same room as his targets, but in Alita's case, requires direct contact. He is a master of yoga and the ancient martial art of Kalarippayattu.
