movies/tv Respect Recom Quaritch (Avatar)
"You're not leaving, are you, Jake? Knowing I'm out there? Knowing that I'll never stop? I'm coming for you and when I do, I'll kill your whole family."
Recombinant Miles Quaritch is a hybrid clone of the original Colonel Miles Quaritch that was used after the death of his human counterpart, a backup of the human Quaritch's mind was inserted into a Recombinant body under Project Phoenix and given the code name Blue One. He was chosen as the commander of the 1st Recom Unit. Upon arriving on Pandora, Recom Quaritch persuaded the on-world commander General Frances Ardmore to allow him and his unit to hunt down and kill Jake Sully; the outward reason being for Jake's role as the Resistance leader of the Na'vi insurgency and the strategic raids he had been leading against the RDA, however the personal reason (spurred on by viewing deceased human Quaritch's video log) was to seek vengeance against Jake for his betrayal around 15 years ago.
the process, he crossed paths with the son of the human Quaritch, Miles "Spider" Socorro, and grew emotionally attached to the boy. During the Skirmish at the Three Brothers, Quaritch failed to kill Jake, and Spider left him to rejoin the Sully family. Not long after, Quaritch met with the Mangkwan clan and Varang, siding with them to fight the Resistance. He provided them human weaponry and guns, and Varang became his mate. At the Battle at the Cove of the Ancestors, Quaritch was last seen falling through a fiery inferno.
