Revision 1

Regina

Regina is the Liaison Officer, sniper, scout, and infiltrator aboard the Gemini in The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Voiced by Nola Klop, Regina is a guarded and mysterious figure whose true past and personal agenda are deliberately hidden from the player and the rest of the crew. She is an expert marksman and skilled infiltrator who sees the player character as a valuable ally in pursuing her own undisclosed objectives.

Quick Reference

Personality and Background

Regina is defined by what she does not reveal. Her past is deliberately obscured, and her true motivations are kept hidden behind a carefully constructed exterior. She speaks precisely, volunteers little personal information, and deflects probing questions with practiced ease. This makes her one of the most intriguing companions aboard the Gemini, because every interaction carries the possibility of uncovering something new about who she really is.

What is clear about Regina is her competence. She is an expert infiltrator who can move through hostile environments without being detected, a skilled scout who reads terrain and enemy positions with professional precision, and a marksman whose accuracy with a sniper rifle is among the best in the crew. These are not talents that come from casual experience; they speak to a background in intelligence, military operations, or corporate espionage, though Regina herself is not forthcoming about which.

Regina's personal questline promises significantly more complexity than her initial guarded exterior suggests. As players progress through the story and build trust with her, layers of her past and her real agenda begin to surface, revealing a character whose motivations are far more nuanced than simple self-interest.

Combat Role and Abilities

Regina operates under the Precision exploit category, the same category as J. This means she specializes in identifying and targeting vulnerable environmental points, triggering hazards and collapses that damage or reposition enemies. Her implementation of this exploit, however, is flavored by her background as a sniper and infiltrator.

In combat, Regina excels at long range. Her strong marksmanship allows her to pick off targets from positions that most enemies cannot effectively return fire on. When combined with her Precision exploit, she can identify structural weaknesses in the environment from a distance and trigger them with a single well-placed shot, causing devastating chain reactions before enemies even know they are under attack.

Her scouting abilities also provide tactical information before engagements begin. Regina can identify enemy positions, patrol routes, and environmental hazards ahead of the main group, giving the player time to plan their approach rather than stumbling into an ambush.

Factional Connections

As a Liaison Officer, Regina is a networking specialist who can leverage connections to find allies across the solar system's political landscape. She operates within the complex web of political maneuvering between the major factions: the United Nations, the Martian Congressional Republic, and the Outer Planets Alliance. Her ability to navigate these relationships and broker introductions gives the crew access to resources and information that would otherwise be out of reach.

This networking role also means Regina is acutely aware of the political implications of the crew's actions. She understands how a mission on a Belter station might be perceived by Earth, or how a deal with a Martian contact could close doors with the OPA. Her counsel on factional matters is practical rather than ideological, focused on outcomes rather than principles.

Relationships

Regina views the player character primarily as a valuable ally. This is not a relationship built on shared history or emotional connection; it is a strategic partnership where both parties benefit from cooperation. Regina needs the crew's resources and firepower to pursue her mysterious quest, and the crew benefits from her intelligence-gathering skills and factional contacts.

Her guarded nature creates an interesting dynamic with other crew members. Some companions find her secrecy frustrating or even suspicious, while others respect her boundaries and appreciate the professionalism she brings to operations. Building trust with Regina is a gradual process that requires patience and may involve making choices that align with her hidden priorities.

Tactical Notes

• Regina is best positioned at the back of the formation where she can use her sniper proficiency to full effect. Keep her in elevated or distant positions whenever the terrain allows it.

• Her Precision exploit pairs well with scouting. Use her to identify environmental hazards before combat starts, then trigger them as enemies move into position.

• She shares the Precision exploit category with J. Running both in the same squad gives you two sources of environmental manipulation, which is powerful in areas with lots of destructible elements.

• In missions involving factional diplomacy or intelligence gathering, bring Regina along. Her networking abilities and knowledge of political dynamics may unlock dialogue options or mission paths that other companions cannot access.

• Regina's infiltration skills make her valuable for missions that reward stealth or reconnaissance. If the mission objective favors a quiet approach, she is the companion to have at your side.
