Darius Retainer

Darius Retainers are people that are employed by Lord Darius to do his work and protect him. They are found at Darius' headquarters on the planet Nonuel.

Lord Darius was supplied with arms to fight off batarians in the Skyllian Verge, then once the batarians were gone, the Alliance pulled their support of Darius and groups like his. However Darius then took to pirating Element Zero from the planet where his base is and intimidating the colonists and miners to get it. Admiral Hackett sends Commander Shepard to negotiate with Darius before the situation gets too out of hand.

Tactics
Because these enemies are armed with all four types of weapons, pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles, get to cover quickly. They have similar health and shields to mercenaries, so keep on your toes and your head down. If you keep in cover then you should be alright, just keep an eye on their boss. However the Retainers tend to stay in cover, like Thugs, so you may have to force them out from time to time. Also keep an eye on the upper level because there is usually a sniper that likes to take potshots at the squad.
