Marcus
Fenix
Son of the famed military
scientist Adam Fenix, Marcus established a reputation as a
brilliant soldier during the Pendulum Wars, earning numerous
field promotions and decorations. He was on a fast track to
an outstanding military career until the war with the Locust
Horde.
When the Horde breached
Jacinto Plateau's defenses, Marcus defied orders to save his
father, who was under siege at East Barricade Academy. He
was too late. Marcus was charged with dereliction of duty
and was sentenced to 40 years in Jacinto Maximum Security
Penitentiary.
Four years into his
sentence, the Horde overtook the penitentiary but Marcus was
rescued by his best friend Dominic Santiago, so that he could
rejoin the fight against the unstoppable Locust Horde.

Dominic
Santiago
Dom is a vocal, colorful
and yet practical soldier. He's loyal to a fault, especially
with his friends, and has no patience for those that think
of themselves first.
Dominic has always believed
in his country and his leaders, but his faith has been slipping
in the face of this endless war. Dom lost his wife in the
Emergence Day cataclysm. For him, the fight against the Horde
is deeply personal.
By testifying in Marcus'
defense, Dom prevented an execution, but was forced to accept
the heavy judgment the military tribunal handed down to his
childhood friend. Never forgetting, Dom seized his first opportunity
to save Marcus' life, and convinced Lieutenant Minh Young
Kim to enlist Marcus into his squad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minh
Young Kim
Lieutenant Kim is a
proud, dedicated and ambitious soldier, a by-the-books believer
in all things COG. To Kim, the Coalition of Ordered Governments
is humanity's only hope for survival and feels that it is
an honor and privilege to serve as a Gear.
Kim moved quickly through
the ranks, but after a run of bad luck he was left leading
the misfits of Delta Squad. Feeling undervalued and overlooked,
Kim has something to prove.
Only the strength of
Dom's faith -- and the scarcity of experienced soldiers -
convinced Kim to consider bringing former prisoner Fenix into
his squad.

Augustus
Cole
Cole, aka "The
Cole Train", is an adrenaline junkie and former professional
thrashball player. He craves action, and prefers to take the
most direct path to the Locust Horde in any situation. What
he lacks in finesse, he makes up for in raw energy.
Along with his child-like
enthusiasm and charm, Cole is supremely confident in his own
abilities to overcome anything, regardless of the odds—and
he hasn't been proven wrong yet.
Cole and Damon Baird
have served together for years, and he treats Baird as he
would an older brother with a younger brother's license to
torment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damon
Baird
Despite being a reluctant
and cynical soldier, Baird excels at the military life. Baird
is perfectly capable of being a successful officer, but has
never been promoted due to his poor attitude, short temper
and his unwillingness to take on any responsibility.
Baird's greatest strength
is his intelligence. He not only fights the Locust, but he
studies and observes them as well. He's the closest the COG
have to an expert, and when Baird tells his comrades to be
quiet and listen, they know it is in their best interest to
do exactly that.
Baird's only motivation
is self preservation. He's willing to do whatever it takes
to get through the war alive -- even march along side a troublemaker
like Fenix.
