While on the ground (or on a ship), he's rather friendly, always for some fun and a happy drunk. In the 302, he's known for having something wrong with his self preservation instinct, as he dives head first into any assignment given to him, alone and regardless of the enemy forces, making him ideal for recon. [b]Short Biography:[/b] Born to a military family, he was pressured and expected to serve. He didn't mind, as he grown on an air force base from early age, knowing it inside out. Like his father, he also wanted to fly, although to his fathers displeasure (not disappointment), he chose to serve on an aircraft carrier as a naval pilot. His primary craft being the sea harrier and later F-35B, he was fairly skilled in using their superb agility and VTOL capability. He was noticed by Captain West during one action when his plane's radar and visual confirmation was instrumental to several successful hits by West's sub. He was later requested by the Captain for the Tempest, as she believed the jumpjet pilot will be able to fully use what the F-302 has to offer.
