Ubisoft announced today that Jalal “Kaid” El Fassi is the new Defender joining
Rainbow 6: Siege. According to the French studio, Kaid is not only the Defender, but also the Commander who is as stoic as the mountains are immovable. We will have to wait till tomorrow to learn more about the second Operator's identity, but we know that she's an Attacker who travels wherever the wind takes her. She’s among the few explorers who can cross the Sahara and march along the Arctic Circle.
The full reveal of the next step in
Rainbow 6: Siege's evolution,
Operation Wind Bastion, will be livestreamed on
Rainbow Six Twitch Channel November 17th and 18th during the Pro League Finals, but Ubisoft has already unveiled some details on the expansion announcing that
Wind Bastion will bring us a map that will represent the pinnacle of military training facilities located in Morocco.
Be sure to take a look at Jalal “Kaid” El Fassi's introduction and his
Rainbow 6: Siege bio down below:
Early in his career with the Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie, he demonstrated natural leadership skills which later led to his promotion as Captain. When the reputable Kasbah Sehkra Mania required a new successor, all eyes turned to Kaid to guide the future of Moroccan Special Forces. The stoic and imposing leader became the 8th Commander at the country’s famed Fortress.
Kaid abides by strict values and he leads by example. Over the years, his teaching methods and leadership style have proven to be effective. The Fortress gained accolades and its reputation continues to rise, making Kaid arguably the most successful resident Commander at the famous Kasbah.
He teaches all incoming soldiers to be self-reliant. This is a skill that his former graduate and the new Attacker on Rainbow Six has taken to heart. Often labelled a “traditionalist”, Kaid firmly believes that over-reliance on technology can be an Operator’s downfall. He’s curious to see how many of Rainbow's specialists can adapt on the field without high tech assistance. However, protecting the Fortress is his top priority and his spider-inspired gadget can complement his security systems. Kaid’s "Rtila" Electroclaw can electrify reinforced walls and hatches, barbed wire, and deployable shields.
Above all, Kaid is the embodiment of dedication and duty, so much so that he sacrificed a personal life for the success of the Kasbah. Moroccan military personnel look up to him, both figuratively and literally as he guides their future from his home and castle.
The Siege is a brand-new style of gameplay embracing the reality of counter-terrorist operatives across the world: intense and asymmetrical close-quarters combat between attackers and defenders. As a defender, you will have the means to transform your environment into strongholds to prevent the attackers from breaching. As an attacker, you will have many planning options to face this challenge and defuse these situations.
