Background: Trake was born in Bordeaux in 1988, father to an American Gregory serving in the French Foreign Legion, and a French nurse Evette. The relationship between the two deteriorated quickly, with Trake’s mother leaving sometime after Trake’s 6th birthday. Trake’s father soon after left the service to raise Trake properly,finding quiet work being a ranch hand on a small goat farm in the countryside.

Keeping true to the military regimes he was so used to, and wanting his son to be a better man than he, Greg taught Trake to treasure knowledge and it’s use to dominate and outsmart enemies. On top of encouraging Trake’s interest in his school teachings, Greg also slowly introduced Trake to strategic study and the use of tacticity and strategy in the field of war, from both the standpoint of a 5-Star general and that of a foot trooper. Along with the strategic aspect of his military teaching, Trake also became interested in participating in the fitness and combat readiness drills that his father had gone through so much as a Foreign Legion troop. 

When he became of appropriate age, about 14, Greg began to really put Trake’s fitness and reflexes to the test, instituting more vigorous, military-like drills, and enlisting Trake’s help on the goat farm. Strategy board and video games became in high demand as Trake wanted to use even his down time to train the more intelligent side of his regime. Real time strategy and games set in time of Roman domination were among his favorite. Soon, he moved on to more intense, realistic strategic wargames. 

Finally joining the military right out of high school, the years of preparation made Trake a shoe in for the military, and easy candidate for the command positions, but focusing so much time on training himself left Trake lacking most social skills, and being completely solitary and standoffish in training. He did not get along very well with his fellow troopers, and other young officer candidates disliked him because of his tendency to take plans into his own hands,forgetting the others even existed to work with. They may have also been jealous of Trake’s obviously more advanced skills in the art of strategic warfare, but that’s another story.
Eventually, though, Trake decided to take his career into the infantry divisions, the words of his father echoing in his mind. “If you’re going to be an officer, earn it. Don’t get anything like that handed to you. [i]Acquérir.[/i]” Even then, he was quickly moved to the leader of a squad of about 6 men, and sent into the Middle East, where most of the operations that his squad participated in were successes with little to no casualties.

After a few tours, Trake had been affected greatly by the horrors of the Middle East, and went into a more obscure part of the military, away from the combat, until he finally left and found work on the same goat farm, which his father still worked.

After a few quiet years of falling into alcoholism and mild depression, Trake’s skill and expertise was called upon with the invasion of Earth by the Pantheon. Although reluctant and still struggling with alcoholism, Trake reentered a military, although this time, under the flag of the U.E.S.A instead of France. His father also re-enlisted, using his prior experience to earn a position in the commanding officers of U.E.S.A.
