Personality
Unlike most known Sligs; Meritine is compassionate, independent, and intelligent. Due to the violence displayed by his fellow Sligs; Meritine would use this as part of his rebellion against the Magog Cartel. He was able to get himself into a position where killing him would be more risky.

However, on a fortunate night - three months before the shutdown of RuptureFarms; Meritine's chance to escape had come as Meteorite struck the prison temporarily taking out the prison's power and damaging Meritine's capsule; allowing him to break-out and make his escape.
