Hammer (XS)

Hammer is a supporting character in the Xenosaga series. He is the navigator of the Elsa.

History
Hammer is the navigator on the Elsa. He was childhood friends with fellow Elsa crewmember Tony. A former teen hacker, he got in over his head when he hacked into the database of a criminal organization. Since then, he has been on the run from them. He was rescued by Matthews and they have worked with each other ever since. Despite his clownish at times personality, he is excellent with his navigator and engineering duties.

Episode I
Hammer first appears when the Elsa makes its way through the wreckage of the Woglinde. Matthews gets rather frustrated with Hammer's reference to old suspicions, then his perversion over KOS-MOS, whom he initially believes to be a corpse. Hammer befriends Shion and the others after they come on board the Elsa. When the Elsa is stopped at the Dock Colony, Hammer helps search for the missing Cherenkov and finds him being beaten up in an alley by some punks. He heads back to the others to get help. Throughout the rest of the game he can be found helping out on the Elsa.

Episode II
Hammear appears early in the game along with the rest of the Elsa crew when it arrives at Second Miltia. He appears again later when Shion makes her way to space and boards the Elsa as it heads towards Old Miltia, then to the Ω System.
