11 Bullit is the Old Camp guard who meets the Nameless Hero at the base of the drop zone and knocks him unconscious. It is the Hero's first real interaction with the Old Camp's rank-and-file, and it sets the tone for the Colony: the Hero is not anyone special, the camp is not going to be polite, and nothing about life inside the Barrier is going to be handed to him.

55 Bullit is the first Old Camp NPC the Hero speaks to. He takes the Hero's belongings, delivers the Colony's unwritten welcome, and leaves him unconscious in the dirt for Diego to find moments later. The scene is preserved in the remake's opening and has been shown in Alkimia Interactive's pre-release communication as part of the remake's treatment of the Colony's power dynamic.

1010 Position in the Old Camp
1111  
1212 Bullit sits in the camp's enforcer layer. He is not a senior figure: the Old Camp's chain runs through Gomez and his Ore Barons, with Thorus handling the camp gate proper. Bullit's role is the layer below that, doing the routine intimidation work that keeps newcomers on the camp's terms before they ever talk to anyone with rank.

1717 Not in the Prologue

1919 Bullit does not appear in the Nyras Prologue demo, because the prologue takes place before the Nameless Hero's arrival. The demo's authority figure around the Exchange Zone is Diego, not Bullit. The drop-zone scene that introduces Bullit happens after the demo's timeframe ends.
