Ethan Naoko was, as of July 3076, a Sergeant in Stone's Lament's Recon Squad Four.
History[edit]
Ethan was a Draconis Combine expat, a former DCMS soldier later recruited by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns.[2]
During the Sixteenth Battle of Hesperus II, as part of Recon Squad Four of Stone's Lament, Ethan helped defend a House Hogarth summer home and the art within on orders from General Thomas Hogarth. Caught by a Word of Blake battle armor advance, the squad lost two members, including its XO, Lieutenant Davison. These members were replaced in 3076.[3]
By June 3076, Ethan had been a soldier for over thirty years. He was three months from retirement when he was pulled from a desk job and back into Recon Squad Four[3]
In 3076, Recon Squad Four was deployed to Rochelle to scout out a Word of Blake installation and, if necessary, disable it.[4] The squad reached its destination, a warehouse Luella Hildebrand identified as a tracking center for a Space Defense System, on 11 July. There, the team engaged and defeated Manei Domini cyborgs, losing Busby Matvey in the process.[5] Luella soon fired on the tracking center's systems, overloading the SDS's power grid and disabling the defense system for the arrival of Stone's forces.[6]
Soon after the Rochelle SDS raid, on 17 July, Recon Squad Four was assigned a new task: to help deal with a Blakist-backed corporation in Rochelle's capital that refused to disarm.[6]
Appearance and Description[edit]
Ethan was a grizzled soldier who oft left stubble on his chin. He smoked cigarettes.[3]
