- — Deimos to MC and Meridian[1]
Deimos, a character in the Across the Void book, is one of the Admirals of the Vanguard and one of Eos' love interests. She is first seen in Chapter 9.
Appearance
Deimos has blue hair and orange eyes. Her skin shows star constellations - that are noted to start glowing occasionally - and turns violet near her hands, shoulders, and thighs. She wears a long white robe with lace trims and a silver headpiece with pearls. Her make-up consists of purple eye shadow and blue lipstick.
Personality
As Sol tells you, Admiral Deimos is notorious for her meticulousness. She is also fond of Vanguard history and Vanguard fashion. Eos says she has never been afraid to put herself in the line of fire and that she has a desire to always be the best. Given her years with the Vanguard, she is a realist not an idealist, and she doesn't believe that the Jura will compromise. Eos says that most Marshalls are intimidated by her.
Background
Like with all members of the Thol, her constellations are used to read her destiny. In Chapter 15, she can reveal the meaning of her constellations to Eos: "They show that my destiny is to be a leader. To help others... even if it means great sacrifice for myself." Eos will react by saying that she has already "devoted [her] entire life to serving the galaxy" and that her destiny can still be changed. She flew her first hovercycle at age five. Deimos and her cousins flew obstacle courses regularly, resulting in her having broken at least a dozen bones.

Relationships
Eos Elara
Deimos is one of Eos' love interests and his CO. Under the guise of an inspection, Deimos boards the Atlas to help Eos protect the Senator. She considers Eos to be one of her best Marshalls. In Chapter 9, Eos has the option to challenge Deimos and test her reflexes in the Atlas’ combat room before going to the bridge. In Chapter 15, she offers to get him a biodroid. Then they spend some time on Eos's ship and if he has previously made some upgrades to it, she will be impressed. In a premium scene, they can talk about her past and get intimate. If Deimos sacrifices herself in Chapter 19, Eos feels guilty that he should have been able to do something to prevent her death.
The General
Pax finds out in Chapter 16, that while several members of the war council wanted to kill the General on sight, it was Deimos who persuaded them to let go of the plan. Deimos told them it was more beneficial to capture the General. However, an attempt to assassinate the General still happened and the General believed it was Deimos. Even when Pax tells her the truth, the General tells her that it doesn't matter and reveals that there is a bomb on board meant for Deimos as a message to the Vanguard.
