Private Lucas Riggs

A daredevil pilot from New York, thrives in the skies, exuding charisma and an unyielding belief in his ability to solve problems through bold action. Wade's rebellious spirit and penchant for adrenaline-charged feats epitomize a lone wolf mentality, albeit welcoming competent team members who complement his style.

Sergeant Richard Webb

SS Oberst-Gruppenführer Hermann Wenzel Freisinger
