Inspector Sematimba, or 'Semi,' is a tall, dark-skinned Belter cop on Eros who aids Miller subtly—appearing on video calls, arriving with riot-armored cops in the flophouse, and looking the other way when it counts. He knows the station's undercurrents and provides key support during the escalating crisis. His alliance helps Miller navigate the chaos until the end.
Description
The tallest lean Belter male in his 40s, with the darkest skin that stands out sharply under harsh station lighting. He leans casually on steel railings or commands from video terminals, later in riot armor with shotgun-wielding cops. His knowing gaze and elongated Belter frame exude street-smart authority.
