Description
The Chosen are a newly discovered race that appeared out of the Melding in the events preceding the game's timeline. These mysterious warriors are hell-bent on destroying the remnants of humanity and their motive for doing so and their origin is uncertain. Since they arrived from inside the Melding, however, it seems that they are somehow connected to it.

The Chosen seemingly work in tandem with Melding Titans, large, spider-like creations, as seen in this gameplay video. How, why and what function the Titans fill in the Chosen's army is up for speculation. It is also possible that the Titan attack and the Chosen attacks were coincidental.

The nature of the Chosen is currently under intense speculation, with some speculating that the Chosen were once human, but are now corrupted by the Melding into loyal minions. These rumors are still awaiting confirmation, but it is unlikely it will receive any.

As of Update 1.6, it has been confirmed, through the campaign missions and dialogue in ARES Jobs, that the Chosen are indeed former humans corrupted by the Melding into loyal minions. However, goals other than the annihilation of humankind are unknown, and their full relationship with the Melding is yet to be revealed.

According to an interview with Mark Kern, the Chosen will not be a playable race in Firefall. However, Kern has stated in the forums that the true nature of the Chosen will be fully revealed in the accompanying manga to Firefall, Affinity.
