(Back for a new season is our weekly look at some of the top names in the DDS game)
Torus is one of the so-called "Next Generation". A group of young captains identified by Windscorpion as being the blood that will take the DDS forward in the next decade. However Torus has been around for awhile. A childhood accident took his voicebox away so he grew up unable to speak. After he joined the DDS Dr Forbidden developed a synthetic voicebox that translates his thoughts into speech. He is even able to sing much to everyone's misery.
Torus is a good captain who has already shown a lot of initiative in combat situations. In fact in fleet engagements Windy has trusted Torus with one of the fleet's flanks, a vitally important position that can make or break a victory. His years of being unable to speak has made Torus rather introspective though and often he shuns others' company.
Torus has a scientist background, having a degree in astro-physics. Its thought he has asked to be head of the forthcoming DDS' science fleet.
