File:IDW Night Glider.jpg
A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

Night Glider thrives in darkness. Being a spy, his nocturnal lifestyle and loner attitude serve him well. Although he is used to working alone, he is extremely loyal to the Maximals. Such loyalty, however, is something he is not convinced all Maximals share. He constantly questions other Maximals' true allegiance, even if he has known them for dozens of Stellar Cycles. As such, though his allegiance to the Maximal cause itself is unwavering, he is prone to double, and even triple cross his individual Maximals on a regular basis. He can never truly trust what they might plan to do with the information he has gathered, after all.
