lore question, when Walter calls you 621 does that mean before you he use to have 620 other armor core mechs under his command?

Sulla mentions that he's killed other 'hounds' commanded by Walter. 621 is just the latest.

621 is short for C4-621, meaning 621st of the 4th generation of augmented humans.

After a certain mission, Carla asks something to the effect of "What happened to 617 and the others?" Presumably, 617 was Walter's first.

The story trailer shows what happened to 617-620. Walter threw them into what might as well have been a suicide mission.

From the story trailer, you know that he at least commanded 617, 619 and 620 before 621. They all died (two confirmed, last one isnt sure but his AC wasnt functioning).

Maybe. Maybe it's the number of subjects that went under his generation 4 enhancement, regardless if they survived or not.

Ultimately, it's From Software storytelling. It's not clearly explained

I didn't watch the story trailer. I'm sure others haven't as well.

In one of the NG++ cut scenes you see a list of numbers before you and after you from your generation and earlier ones as well. So we are one in a long list of many that happened to be the standout.

You should. It's short but really high quality.

RIP our fallen brothers. Mission complete.

I delt with Cataphract the same way. 617, my dude

Pilots 617, 619, and 620 are confirmed KIA via the story trailer where they were sent on a mission to secure a PCA site with an anti orbital cannon. It's most likely the reason why 621 barely made it planetside.

AC1 renamed the PC "Rebel XXX", after undergoing human plus surgery. Random number each time. I think the number obviously is a patient number. This time they are sequential. I was really hoping for a stronger tie in to AC1 origin story but it is what it is.

I don't think that's how Order 66 works. We just love big numbers so why not for Walter. It would be damn funny if he arbitrarily picked bigger numbers than 600 for not much specific reasons.

I feel like that is heavliy implied, they tell you without TELLING you what happened to the vast majority of Human+ candidates, and only in more recent generations has it not been as lethal to the subject in question. Surviving old gen augmentation was a huge achievement, and even then it scars people in ways that are hard to describe or cant really be described in certain cases. They dont go into detail because world building lets people fill in the blanks for themselves and avoids too many inconsistencies later.

All in all its a miracle 621 even makes it to Rubicons surface, or Rubicon at all really. Its a grotesque marvel of biological engineering and the strength and that of the human spirit to endure and later thrive.

Its also a miracle ANY of the subjects survived and made it to Rubicon, even though they mate with a bleak fate.

You character breaks the cycle and can take charge of their destiny and have an impact of the destiny of many others, and decide the fate of many others as well.

TLDR Pretty much they all die and you are a bonafide Jesus miracle for living as long as you do.
