After she killed the survey team, she launched an assault on Helios space station to take over the powerful laser contained within.Ĭolonel Zarpedon commands the Lost Legion, a military unit formerly part of the Dahl Corporation that went rogue after they were abandoned. Zarpedon is convinced that where 'a few come sniffing, more will follow' and that the only way to keep the knowledge of the Vault a secret is to destroy the Vault and Elpis with it. During their exploration, they discover The Watcher, who leads them into the Vault of Elpis, where the knowledge contained within convinces Zarpedon that all that matters is ensuring no humans can get their hands on it.įour years later, after the opening of the Vault of The Destroyer, Jack sends a survey team to Elpis in search of a Vault. Zarpedon decides to lead a team into the shaft to discover the source of the strange vapors in the air. Over the following weeks, everyone in Zarpedon's team began getting purple rashes over their bodies and expressing unusual calmness. Zarpedon and her team were left behind, and the Lost Legion was born.
The following day, the Crackening occured, resulting in the loss of Elpis's atmosphere and Dahl abandoning Elpis. Before the Crackening on Elpis, she relinquished control of the Drakensburg to her next-in-command, and joined the staff of the dig site in Vorago Solitude where the team discovered a deep shaft of supposed Eridian origin. Long before the beginning of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Colonel Zarpedon was a commander in the Dahl military, and the captain of the Drakensburg spaceship.
