Dickson

Dickson Soss is a hidden antagonist in the video game Xenoblade Chronicles. A veteran of the Battle of Sword Valley a year before the events of the game who is also a comrade of Dumbar and Mumkhar. He is a resident of Colony 9 and looks over Shulk, Reyn and the other residents. He claims to have found Shulk in the Valak Mountain with the Monado and his parents (together with the rest of the refugees) dead. Dickson raised Shulk as his own. He starts the game off as a seemingly helpful mentor and father figure to the protagonists.

In reality, Dickson is Zanza's disciple and never cared at all for the people of Bionis, acting only to ensure Zanza was properly revived.
