Quotes[]

  • Marche Au Supplice
    • "Enemy reinforcements sighted. That's Anatolia's merc."
    • "Don't get cocky. I hear he's a skilled soldier. Let's bury him."
    • "Dog me, will you?!"
    • "Enemy craft disabled. That leaves two."
    • "The mission hasn't changed. Continue as planned."
    • "In over your head, mister mercenary? Did you think I was the same as the others?"
    • (Upon Defeat) "You're a fine warrior... Call me sentimental, but I wish we had met under different circumstances."

NEXT Supplice[]

Supplice was built around the standard 03-AALIYAH frame, and is armed with a variety of parts from different companies. This includes a rifle and flares from BFF, as well as a back-mounted OGOTO grenade launcher from Arisawa Heavy Industries. Although based on a Rayleonard standard model, the prestige of its pilot makes it one of the few NEXTs of its time to equip parts from unaffiliated companies. Primarily designed for direct, aggressive tactics, Supplice's equipment loadout allows Berlioz to adapt to a variety of different combat situations and ranges.

Trivia[]

  • The name Berlioz is derived from the 19th century French composer Hector Berlioz who wrote a movement titled "Marche au Supplice" ("March to the Scaffold" in English; literally "March to Torment") as the fourth song in his symphony Symphonie Fantastique. The song tells the story of a man being marched to a guillotine, where he is executed for his crimes in front of a cheering crowd. This is where Berlioz derives his name, the name of his NEXT, and the mission name "Marche au Supplice".
  • The word Supplice, the name of Berlioz's NEXT is French for "execution" or "torture".
  • Berlioz's emblem is the blade of a guillotine with blood pouring from the edge. This fits in with his "Marche au Supplice" motif.
  • Supplice is featured prominently in the Armored Core 4 introductory video. In the intro, he used his Marve as a blade and impaled an MT. In the actual game, it is impossible to do this.
  • It should be note that in pre-Armored Core 4 games, an Armored Core with parts from different companies would be the norm and an AC with parts from the same company would be unusual.
