|[[Vantage]]
|Team captain.<ref>“You may recognize some of the captains of the respective Wards teams.  Jouster from New York, Vantage from Los Angeles, Tecton from Chicago and Hoyden from Austin.  You know Clockblocker.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> Has enhanced strength and reflexes that scale with the number of opponents he faces, with diminishing returns. Can use teleportation with a two or three feet range.<ref>Vantage had super strength, but his strength and reflexes scaled up as the number of opponents rose, with diminishing returns.  He wasn’t especially durable, but he packed short-range teleports.  Very short-range – a matter of two or three feet, at best.  He teleported to help close the gap to Swoop and slammed one hand into the man’s collarbone.  The woman scrambled for cover. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref>

|[[Auroch]]
|Leader of the second Los Angeles Wards team until problems occurred with her judgement.<ref name="Knox_Flambe"/> Has an aura that manipulates inertia around herself, with a positive bias for how it interacts with herself.<ref>Auroch '''Aura effect manipulates inertia in radius around herself, with positive bias for herself.''' - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/htmlview parahumanList], bolded edit by Wildbow.</ref> Transfers to [[Anchorage]].<ref>A second generation cape, Auroch was briefly a member of the Los Angeles team before the attacks in 2011 saw her father and many of her old and new teammates die.  She continued her work until a sudden, unprovoked nervous breakdown.  The NY office surveyed the case and decided that her leadership abilities and her defensive powers were too great an asset to give up, electing to move her to Anchorage.  Thus far she has continued to show her recommended leadership abilities, and was instrumental in inviting a damaged individual to custody. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit# PRT Quest (Anchorage)]</ref>

|[[Leister]]
|A teenager in lightweight silver armor with blue cloth underneath, with wave-like designs.<ref name="trident">Leister was a teenager in lightweight silver armor with the edges molded into wave-like forms.  Beneath the armor was blue cloth with a similar wave-like design embroidered on it.  He held a trident, as ornate as his armor.  As lightweight and sprightly as Prefab was a veritable tank. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/drone-23-2/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.2]]</ref> Wields an ornate trident,<ref name="trident"/> which he can stretch using his power.<ref>The others were helpless to assist me, due to the peculiarities of the Prince’s power, but they could direct their focus to Bambina and Starlet.  Leister thrust out his trident, and it distorted, stretching the distance between himself and the two kid villains on the wall.  He struck Starlet in the face with the shaft of the trident. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/drone-23-2/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.2]]</ref> Accompanied Vantage to Las Vegas.<ref name="underlings">“Counting coup?” Leister asked.  He was the sole subordinate that Vantage had brought along.  Rime, by contrast, had brought Usher and Arbiter from her team.  Prefab from San Diego had shown up as well. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/drone-23-2/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.2]]</ref>
