Soulless

Soulless are beings who have lost their souls to the Harbinger weapon. They greatly resemble their original personas, except they wear a black coat and have yellow eyes. They also have anagrams of their original names, with an X added into the name as well.

The Soulless also possess special abilities that their original personas could one day unlock themselves.

History
After Roach used the power of the Harbinger on O'Ryan, Chris, TJ and himself, it caused them to lose their souls, turning them into Soulless two days following the removal of their souls. They were sent to Limbo, where they become corrupted by the darkness of Limbo. During their time in Limbo, Xarcoh discovered it was possible for the four to become human again if they were destroyed and their original souls were freed from the Harbinger or if they were to merged back with their souls. Despite this knowledge however, Xarcoh believed the only way to ensure that Unit 14 would never complete their cycle was if the four remained as Soulless.

Four years after becoming Soulless, a rift leading to reality opens in Limbo, allowing the four to escape Limbo. Upon exiting the rift in an underground chamber in Mateur, Tunisia and reaching ground level, they see the aftermath of Unit 14's plan, which had caused the world to be nothing but a barren wasteland. The four Soulless head to the Gilze Rijen Air Base in Hulten, Netherlands, where they make that, along with an abandoned coastal bunker in Genoa, Italy as a base of operations. Learning of a Unit 14 hideout in Hamburg, Germany, Xarcoh sends J.X.T., TJ's Soulless, to investigate the facility. On the morning of May 17th, 2035 however, the three Soulless lose communications with J.X.T., who was destroyed by Mac, Doc, Peterson and Gary in hopes of finding the original personas of the Soulless. Fearing that the base has been compromised, Xarcoh and Xirsch head to the bunker in Genoa while Yaxnor, O'Ryan's Soulless stays behind in order to distract the four. However, Yaxnor was captured and interrogated by the four, who then learns the truth about the Soulless. After learning of Yaxnor's execution, Xarcoh decides the only way to ensure the cycle would never be completed was if he was to seal himself within Limbo. Ordering Xirsch, Chris' Soulless to stay at the bunker and distract the four, Xarcoh then retreats back towards Tunisia.

The next day, Xarcoh learns that Xirsch was slain, ultimately leaving him as the sole surviving Soulless. As he was in the process of re-opening the rift, he was confronted by the four. Enraged by this, Xarcoh explained that he needs to be sealed away within Limbo if he would ever stop Unit 14 from completing the cycle, a cycle he would never be able to break. He then offers the four to become Soulless themselves, with the four refusing. Saddened by this, Xarcoh explains he will do whatever it takes to stop the cycle before summoning the Harbinger. He then further says even if he has to kill his own friends before charging at the four. After battling them for a while, the rift fully opens, with Xarcoh jumping into it. The four follow him in, engaging him in one last battle. The four manage to defeat Xarcoh, who says he's sorry before fading away. As the rift closed in on the four, Mac uses the Harbinger to release the four's souls, allowing Roach to return, as well as the others. As the four managed to awaken back at the sawmill, Mac, Doc, Peterson and Gary were ultimately trapped within Limbo and eventually the Fractured Realm.
