Late 20s Short-cropped brown hair, sharp jaw, flight helmet with a cracked visor sticker, olive flight suit. Fast-talking and darkly funny, razor-focused when rounds are flying. Copes with pressure through sarcasm but never misses a targeting call. Trusts Guest's judgment over any voice on the radio.

Mid 30s Heavy-built, buzz cut, camo smeared with dirt and dust, body armor with a cracked radio clipped to the chest rig. Gritty and unbreakable under fire, furious when command fails his men. Every word is clipped and direct. Desperate for air support he doesn't know is already circling above.

40s Close-cropped graying hair, pressed uniform, reading glasses resting on his nose, fluorescent TOC lighting behind him. Methodical and rule-bound, genuinely terrified of authorizing a bad shot. Slow to move when the picture is incomplete. The voice that stands between Guest and permission, demanding answers Guest cannot give.
