One of the Militech Executives killed in the poison attack is Ella Griffith. She had two children: Natalie, a soldier within Militech's ground forces in Night City who also did a tour in the EEC, and the deceased Jason Michaels, killed in an accident just a few years ago.

Hex is one of the Techies hired by the Entropy Eurotour. He looks awfully familiar to Jason by the time the first stills from the Liverpool tour come out. In fact, one would say that his voice matches perfectly with recordings of the deceased if we compare the recordings of him and the disappeared Tammi Lu.

Hex has ties to Militech. He's friends with a Militech Solo from the NC platoon, coincidentally a woman called Nat. Hex also has strong ties post-Eurotour with known agitator Ray Null, who stands against all that is corporate.

Furthermore, Hex has been involved in numerous actions against Arasaka. The leaked Arasaka files and street reporting confirm Hex's involvement in destroying the Punknaught that Maelstrom built on Arasaka funds^[1], as well as his rescuing of Easy, a known Maelstrom leader that had previous ties with Militech.

We reached out to Hex for a comment. He failed to respond.
A bad investigation would end here, forcing the viewer to assume that Hex is a Militech agent. The next conclusion is, of course, that his associates, including Ray Null and Ze - a heavily-influential member of The Mob - are also Militech-affiliated.

In a world where the greatest Solo works as their security advisor, it seems like everyone who has a bone to pick with Arasaka just joins up with Militech.

But Hex is one of the founding members of a growing organization known as ASG. It goes right against the recent Arasaka bans in order to promote real change. Whether or not it is successful, its too early to tell. At least he is trying.
