How about a drone working for the Empire? 
That was my idea when I posted the picā¦
It was clear to me that the figure was very similar to the Sky rider so no other possibilty occured to me at that momentā¦
But now that I think of itā¦
the guy that says the first PDZwei āDenaā had a strange shapeā¦
If only I had imagesā¦
If the Imperial bloodline is linked to the ancients themselves, then Imperial descendents many not be 100% human. Aha! A human Sky Rider may have been 1/2 or 1/3 part ancient, which would make the green energy he gives off in coils explicable!
Logic is a wonderful thing.
But alas, I must not run away with my imagination here.
The Sky Rider drone may have pretended to be human since drones sometimes seem indistinguishable from ordinary humans, and thereby sought employment in the Empire.
How about that?
Not bad
But I really think the Ancients were 101% human thoā¦
This is not directly related to the topic but I wonderā¦
ā¦how did the Empire know Orta was a drone?

If the ancients could reproduce with regular humansā¦ a half breed is the result. Of course Iām assuming the ancients werenāt human but at least human enough to copulate with humans.
How did the Empire know about Orta? Best bet: Abadd. Part of his deal with the Empire may have involved capturing Orta. Iām just speculating, however.
Well they Evren did call him traitor when he defended Ortaā¦
ā¦or was it becuase he attacked the dragonmares 
Anyway, like I said before I reject ( and I donāt often do that ) the remote ( IMO ) possibilty of the Ancients not beeing humanā¦
Abadd created the dragonmares for the Empire using the cradle, in return for what? Their co-operation in capturing Orta of course. Thats how it always seemed to me anyway.
Shadowās hit the mark.
Well then how do you explain the cutscene at the end of Episode 1?Why did they call him traitor?
now i know he didnāt attcaked until she(Evren) said that
He attacked Evren an co because they were going to kill our heroinā¦ er, heroine.
Orta was too valuable to allow ignorant Imperials to end her life. In typical control-freak fashion, Abadd couldnāt allow it!
He needed her body after all, scientifically speaking.
Wow, this topic has marched off the beaten path.
Steers the discussion back to what it was originally.
Honestly, I would love to imagine the Sky Rider bowing to the Emperor, loyal to the end.
As weāve seen with Abadd, drones may not always be loyal. If Iām not mistaken the records state that both the dragons attacked the Imperial capital. Theorize daddy
But Lagi only attacked the Imperial forces getting in the way of its ultimate goal. The Empire wrongly attributed the capitalās destruction to the Heresy dragon when the exploding Tower and its minions were the real culprits.
The Sky Rider was originally heading for the Tower before his untimely death. Who can say if he was an Imperial or not? I love the outlandishness of it.
Perhaps they were both working for the Emperor? Some elite guard unit maybe? But once the Sky Rider found Lagi and proceeded to head towards the tower, his fellow officer was forced to bring him down.
In here somewhere theres an explanation for the Imperial ship that appears at the beginning of the canyon in the first PD1 cutscene.
Just wanted to say something else still related to Ortaā¦
Shadow : Donāt forget that the Empire also wanted Ortaā¦
Why kill her?Evrenās odres couldnāt be destroy the Orta cause the empire wanted herā¦
Still even if you forget the Mare Squadron there still is the Vermana battleship BEFORE the cutscene so donāt you ay they changed ideas cause of Abbadās betrayalā¦
Geoff : You have Giri Girir?If so could you please take a shot of the guy in the Panzer Dragoon Zwei intro FMV??You know the ones who talks with the emperorā¦
Iām begining to think that is him in the picturesā¦
āDena!!ā ā¦ 
Perhaps Vermana was attacking the dragon, not the girl?
Thatās my point : how can you attack a dragon without hurting itās rider ?
kindda rethorical but you can try your luck
Perhaps they didnt see her
These ideas just keep getting better and better.
Gehn, the Empire failed to capture Orta at the beginning so decided it was best to kill her instead. I may be wrong.
Shadow, itās obvious the Dark Dragon is a mindless pawn of Sestren, drone included.
The Sky Riderās purpose and background are still open to question.
