Involvement[]
Iron Gold[]
Winkle follows Darrow on his mission to assassinate the Ash Lord on Venus and assists in the infiltration of Deepgrave to liberate Apollonius au Valii-Rath. Winkle issues a false press release on Darrow's orders crediting The Red Hand with the theft of the experimental submarine they use to reach the undersea prison. During their infiltration, Winkle puts the data acquisitions of the prison's drone defense grid on a loop to mask their approach.
When the Howlers reach Apollonius's cell and discover Tongueless in the Minotaur's place, Winkle assures them that the prison's records list Apollonius as present in his cell with no medical intake information or labor duty assignments. Winkle informs Darrow that Apollonius's implant and collar are not in the system.
After successfully extracting Apollonius, Winkle performs the surgery to plant a bomb in his head to detonate if he won't comply with Darrow. Winkle also installs a security measure in Tongueless's suit as an insurance policy in case the Obsidian proves to be disloyal.
After the Battle of Gorgon Isle, Winkle returns to Luna with Sevro in response to the kidnapping of Pax and Electra.[2]
