}}<br>'''Siren''' is a dedicated medic of [[Advance Guard]]. He has a lot of work.

==Personality==
He is experienced, perceptive, and used to dealing with stubborn and restless parahumans.
{{Ref|“Then do something about it.  Don’t make it a consideration.”<br><br>“You’re a bit of a hardass, huh?”<br><br>“I’m backup medical and team doctor for a team of sixty full-cocked, aggressive capes with four tertiary teams, who ''love'' to get themselves hurt.  I have to be.  Put something over that hand.”|#Dying 15.6}}

==Appearance==
His costume has a typical Advance Guard aesthetic. It references both types of sirens, emergency signals by color and mythological sea-monsters by stylization.{{Ref|name=S1|Siren was the cape who was looking me over.  The costume he wore was in the usual Advance Guard style, all angles, geometric shapes and future-tech in style, with his particular aesthetic touching on the reds and blues of his namesake sirens, as well as the sea monster thing.  It almost reminded me of Byron’s outfit, run through an ‘Advance Guard’ filter.  He stepped back, leaning against the catwalk railing that I really wouldn’t have been leaning against, while I leaned against the wall by the door.  Without bending over, he reached down to the personal first aid kit he’d hung on the railing, got a thing of disinfectant spray, and rubbed his hands down.<br>[...]<br>Siren didn’t help me with the breastplate, instead focusing his effort on getting his medical kit back in order.  I finished around the same time he was clipping the kit to the side of his belt.|#Dying 15.6}}

==Abilities and Powers==
His powers do not augment his medic duties in any way.{{Ref|The cape who was looking after me didn’t have any powers that helped, which… helped.  I could endure that poking and prodding.|#Dying 15.6}}

===Equipment===
He wears a med-kit on his belt.{{Ref|name=S1}}

==History==
===[[Ward]]===
Siren already had 5 years of experience as a paramedic by the story start.{{Ref|You’re sharing details like you want my permission to go back into the field, but you don’t need it.  I have five years as a E.M.P., I can give you my best spot diagnosis, but it’s your call.|#Dying 15.6}}

===Early-[[Ward]]===
Siren was mentioned as member of [[Advance Guard]] during the [[Skirmish in Cedar Point]].{{Ref|The camera caught the icon, and it popped up in a window, blur-corrected.  A figure running to the side, drawn out as a collection of triangles and irregular shapes.  Their arm was out and holding an arrow-shaped shield.  Others had slight variants on the same icon, to play into costume textures and other minor details.<br><br>“Advance Guard,” I said.<br><br>“We haven’t talked to Advance Guard,” Tristan said.  “We actively ''avoided'' bringing Advance Guard into this.”<br>[...]<br>On the wall, the Advance Guard mugshots were filling in.  I looked for the familiar first and found them already named. <br>
:''Spright, Shortcut. Mayday, Siren, ReSound, Gong…'' |#Shadow 5.2}}

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
Siren was a part of the first wave of the [[Wardens]]' attack on [[Teacher]]s base.

Siren patched up [[Antares]] after the first battle with [[Saint]]'s angels. He tried to persuade her to evacuate with the wounded.{{Ref||Dying 15.6}}

==Trivia==
* Sirens as related to ambulances and other vehicles, where their approaches are heralded by the eponymous sound, is first attested in the late 1870s. The English usage originally related to river boats using distinctive acoustic signals to cut through the visual occlusion of their steam and fog. The later association with ambulances and other vehicles, emergency and otherwise, followed on from this.
**Despite what one could presume from his name it is not known what his powers are, including if they're sound related.
