« They say that when Colonel Ike Sloan was born, he crawled out of the womb with a knife between his gums. He was the ultimate soldier in his day and the uber-commando template for all Omega Force cyber-soldiers, right down to their combat subroutines which were based on his experience and expertise. »

Overview[]

Colonel Ike Sloan is the main antagonist and leader of Omega Force in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

Personality[]

Because he is a war veteran and served in military, he is considered to be a "tough guy". He is also quite fearless, as demonstrated when he alone stood in front of fully armed and rampaging battle dragon. He also fully believes in what he thinks is right and he is very determined to make the world he envisions a reality even going to the extremes. He is also arrogant as he thinks that he is a "Cybergod" and "new Zeus" and thinks very highly of himself.

Biography[]

The former commanding officer of Sgt. "Power" Colt and Lt. T.T. Brown, Col. Ike Sloan is a Mark V Cyber-Commando and leader of the cyborg army known only as Omega Force.

After consuming Dragon Blood, Col. Sloan's already advanced Mark V cybernetics became "supercharged." Using the research of Dr. Darling and Dr. Carlyle, Sloan weaponized dragon blood into an aerosolized agent that could “make slaves or monsters of men”.

Through an undefined plot, Col. Sloan intends to use this weapon "to redress the balance" in response to peace negotiations between the United States and Russia (referred to as "The Red Menace"), after the nuking of Canada and the invasion of Australia; which were the subsequent results of the Second Vietnam War.

Before their capture, Sgt. Colt and Lt. Brown had thwarted Sloan's first attempt to launch a Red Spear missile armed with the deadly agent. Refusing to become an accomplice to Sloan's plan, Spider was killed, whilst his best friend Colt was forced to watch, setting into motion the events in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

At the end of the game, he is killed by Rex.

Skills[]

Mark IV and V cyborgs have Sloan's combat skills and techniques embedded into their programming. Since all the Omega Force soldiers (as well as Rex and T.T) have his skills and experience, it is easy to draw the conclusion that Sloan is just as familiar and able with all the weapons systems they employ in the field.

He is seen as a competent and deadly soldier, easily dispatching a fully armoured threat such as the Battle Dragon with a bullet from a pistol, and anticipating infiltration of his installations sufficiently enough to coordinate an ambush.

He is also seen as efficient and ruthless, dispatching one of his former soldiers with direct means, not employing any kind of frivolous megalomaniacal execution.

Trivia[]

  • The peculiar chainmail shirt worn by Sloan is a tribute to Bennett, the principal antagonist in the Schwarzenegger film Commando.
  • The necklace of severed ears sported by Sloan is also a reference to the villain of the film Universal Soldier with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren.
    • More parallels exist between the relationship shared by Sloan and Rex Colt, which mirror the narrative arcs of the two main characters in Universal Soldier: All these characters are former US military veterans who were resurrected from death with enhancements to make them deadlier.
