Biography

Manual biography

This fearsome foe showcases the powers of the Vadrigar, for it has no true life of its own. But it begs the question: Where do the gibs and blood come from?

Prima Guide biography

Bones is a testament to the awesome power of the Arena Masters. Reputed to have been created from the bones of a long-dead warrior. Bones is an animated skeleton, even more a member of the undead than Patriot or Cadavre. The burning question in the minds of anyone facing Bones is, "Where do the gibs come from?"

Bones, as an artificial undead construct, has never been truly alive and has no idea what life is like. Even more than Orbb, Bones is unaffected by the pain and suffering of others. He is an excellent warrior with any weapon.
