Background: 

Before his tenure in the military, he was born in the year 2585 and raised on an unassuming colony.  His family background was also very stable, with happily married parents when he and his trio of siblings were raised.  Being the eldest, he assumed responsibility, knowing his parents could "croak" at any time.  However, as soon as he came of age, he found out about the war.  Knowing the war may come to the innocent home, Ulysses decided to enlist around the time he was a legal adult and when, in his words, "things hit the fan."  The young man explicitly made it certain that he wanted to make sure whatever happened during the war STAYED in the war.  Ulysses always believed that it was better to prevent than to cure.  It was also better safe than sorry.  Hoping that the family can take care of himself when he's absent, the eldest bid his goodbyes and made a promise to come back to the family in one piece whenever possible.

Eventually, he grew to become a decorated Alliance war hero with a distinct career, Ulysses boasts of experience spanning about decade of his entire life.  Considered a "technopath" among his colleagues, Ulysses displayed an impeccable affinity for technology and good great pride when it came to repairing allied equipment.  Though he showed an aptitude for demolition and combat, those two fields were not the main details he talks about, seeing them as side duties.  Nevertheless, he was considered to be the reliable one in the unit for getting repairs or demolitions finished.  A jack of all trades in his field makes him a solid choice for field operations.  His latest job involves investigation of the Providence.  Knowing that trouble may arise, Ulysses equipped his tools.

TLDR: "Country boy" with decorated military experience and abilities.

Equipment: Short barrel shotgun that can use a variety of ammunition (shells, slugs, darts, etc.) and a repair tool; uses medium armor for balance between protection and mobility.

Other: He is not abrasive, but does defend his career as a combat engineer.  Ulysses once responded on possible PTSD, "If I had any mental illness during my career, I'd be shipped home without any possibility of return."

NOTE: From "Destiny of Man".
