Shelter (Chimera)

'"I can't be your weapon. But I will be your shield."- Shelter

Shelter is a human psion. When his powers manifested, he was taken from a resettlement camp to an ADVENT research facility where they forced him to use his abilities to harm others. He ultimately fled their control and joined X-COM.

Shelter has psionic abilities more focused on support and buffing allies, contrasting with Verge's more aggressive psionic abilities. His Relocate ability is also able to help the squad rapidly change positions and can be combined with Torque's Tongue Pull to great effect.
