The Mutant Leader
The psychic heart of the Martian resistance.
Kuato is the mutant leader of the Martian resistance, a psychic being who guides the rebellion against Vilos Cohaagen's tyrannical regime. He is a mutant growing out of the abdomen of his brother George, and he psychically reads Quaid's mind to learn that Cohaagen is hiding a 500,000-year-old alien reactor built into a mountain that, once activated, produces breathable air but could also destroy all turbinium, ending Cohaagen's monopoly over both resources. Before he is shot by Richter, Kuato implores Quaid to start the reactor.
