| abstract | - Anatolia's Mercenary is the title given to the player character of Armored Core 4. Like previous Armored Core player characters, Anatolia's Mercenary does not speak and is never given a name. In Armored Core: For Answer, he reappears more than a decade after the events of the previous game and is referred to by his NEXT's name, White Glint. Anatolia's Mercenary was originally a Raven who served in the National Dismantlement War. Following the war's conclusion and the advent of Pax Economica, he became the guardian Lynx of Anatolia and with the aid of Emil Gustav and Fiona Jarnefeldt, he performed missions from the corporations to support the colony. When the Lynx War broke out, he became a force to be reckoned with; despite being a newcomer Lynx, he defeated numerous Originals and directly caused the downfall of corporations. For his actions, Anatolia's Mercenary would be given the title of "Hero of the Lynx War." When the war ended, Fiona took him and left Anatolia. By the time of the Economic War, he pilots White Glint, a custom-made NEXT, and he serves as the only Lynx and the ace-in-the hole of Line Ark, a maritime city-state that opposes the League of Ruling Companies. Although he is only Rank 9 in Collared's Lynx roster, the corporations consider him to be too powerful for any single NEXT to take on, to the point that his presence is the only thing that prevents the League from outright annihilating Line Ark.
