Donnell Guerin

"So here's the deal. You take a kid from Emerald Cove, not really book smart but practically a professional at petty crime, and you give him a second chance by forcing him into the CMA. He's not content with that, though, so he wrangles his way into the Marine Corps proper and gets some real action; he gets his first Purple Heart a year later on Tribute, and that's when Orion comes into the picture. He passes every screening and gets jacked up on a bunch of enhancements, then carries out a series of black ops against Insurrectionist targets. He's a smooth talker, a natural joker, one of those guys you can't help but smile at; the PR guys love him, the officers' wives love him, you get the picture. So how's he end up one of the galaxy's most wanted, you ask? I wish I could say the answer's easy, but I can't. All I know is after the Covenant came, some real bad shit went down on Biko and Guerin came back in pieces. Soon as he could walk on his own again, he murdered his best friend and dropped off the face of the universe. I'd like to think he just finally cracked, I really would, but I can't be satisfied with that. Not when he's out there making deals with Kig-Yar and challenging the Syndicate. If there's one thing Guerin's not, it's erratic. The only thing that scares me more than thinking he went insane... is that he's got a plan, and he's actually been patient enough all these years to see it through."
