Lockdown has a big ship, and thus needs someone to run things aboard. Thankfully, he has an army of faceless crew members. Literally faceless, these Shadow Raider mercenaries hang around Lockdown, his Steeljaws, and the Stupid Drones, and generally get shot at. They are sometimes known simply as mercenaries.
