Colonel Bates is a Chimera Kyria officer whose death aboard the Borealis benefits Colonel Starling's arrangement with Kroven Vaskyr.
¶ Borealis
Colonel Bates is among the approximately one thousand people killed when Kroven Vaskyr's actions destroy the Borealis. The surviving narrative does not give Bates an independent scene before the destruction.
¶ Aftermath
Colonel Starling calls Bates a troublesome obstacle and praises Kroven for removing that obstacle, revealing that Bates's death simplifies Starling's private arrangement and bounty scheme.
