Fiery, hot headed, aggressive, and willing to meet violence with superior violence. Still intelligent but by preference, direct.

Felecia McCallister - an anti-genist, opposed to human genetic augmentation and later on, even genetic screening and therapy. Non-military, CogNet celebrity enjoying a degree of popularity among religious, luddite, and antigen groups.
Murrue Ramius
Meryl Ramirez - latino-anglo captain in the Coalition space navy, started as a support fleet officer but ended up with a field promotion after her ship, the PCS Sunchaser, was heavily damaged and most of the bridge crew was killed. Ramirez took command, saved the ship, and disabled the attacking ship long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Currently the captain of the PCS San Andreas, a space marine assault ship (Union pattern, 12 mecha, armor, fire support). Expected to be promoted to command of the PCS Archangel (Overlord pattern, 36 mecha, armor, heavy fire support)

After the Yzak incident, Flagg served as a mercenary for the PCS aboard the San Andreas where he piloted a Shadow Hawk mecha before being being shot down and killed in action.
Neal Roanoke - PCS clone of Flagg, but with genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make him a superior pilot. Retains fragments of Flagg's memories as his engram was created with data from both Flagg's cerebral scans and data taken from his cortical stack and RAM banks from the wreckage of his Shadow Hawk. Working for the Anunnaki, Roanoke pilots a black ops Raijin mecha. Fast, virtually invisible, and packing a powerful punch with PPCs and lasers, Roanoke is a force to be reckoned with. When he isn't falling apart between therapy and cognitive resets, that is.
Rau Le Crueset
Paul le Crueset - An Anunnaki deep plant, Paul is a genetically engineered ubermensch with a nihilistic omnicidal personality coupled with charisma, charm, and tactical skill. A high ranking member of the PCS navy, le Crueset commands a Union pattern assault ship, typically with the support of one or two other ships (typically non-mecha carrying gunships) and pilots a heavy Dragon mecha. This mech is heavily modified and has a space upgrade, giving it a pair of A-pods for zero grav movement, and replaces the cannon with a PPC.

A member of the Anunnaki, Duran wants to see the decimation of the global population and a general breaking of the world to force the remnant of humanity to abandon it's fascination with Earth and explode out into space. He is a progeneticist and considered antigen factions, naturals, and freeborns to be obsolete and antiquated humanity.
Talia Gladys
Admiral Talia Gladstone - coming from a long time British military family, it is little surprise that Gladstone rose to high ranks in the Federated armed forced. Her experience is limited, her leadership is overly reliant on others, and her position has come from outside influence (most notably Gilbert Duran). Gladstone is currently in command of the Federation 2nd Fleet (Near Earth Space Supremacy) group, and captain of the AFS Odyssey (Federation class battlestar, 108 mecha, 36 aerospace, heavy guns). Her success is highly reliant on the other captains of the 2nd fleet, and the operation of the mecha squadrons on her ship, including the elite Phantom Angels squadron (black ops, Neal Roanoke command)
Andrew Waltfeld & Aisha
General Andrew Wittman and Aida - the Desert Tiger, Wittman commanded the Federation Afrika Korps. He is a tall lean German and has a strong and confident air of authority. He pilots a command variant Scorpion mecha which is destroyed out from under him, costing him his arm, leg, and an eye. He is later retrofit with cybernetics and a new Scorpion II mech where he resumes work as a military strategist. His LAI companion Aida barely survived the destruction of the first Scorpion. She appears as a lolita style hologram and is utterly devoted to Wittman.
Lord Djibril
Gabriel (Gawb-Ri-El) - Anunnaki leader, old school faction that favors war and profiteering over re-inventing humanity. Rival to Duran, and shadow manipulator. Power comes from contacts and resources owed to him, rather than any innate ability. With a call, he can start a war, launch an entire fleet, or level a city.
Meer Campbell
Meredith Campbell - altered to be a doppleganger of Lacuna Klein, Campbell is a face-dancer. As such she is an almost perfect simulacra of Klein, to the point of having personality chips modeled off of Klein inserted into her brain. Campbell struggles with borderline personality disorder, multiple personality disorder, and struggles to remember who she actually is. Like Neal Roanoke, she requires regular psychotherapy to remain functional, and has a number of handlers aware of this. She is a more sex objectified and pro-propaganda version of Lacuna.
