Although Del recognizes the need to fight with the COG in the aftermath of the Swarm’s emergence, he is not necessarily thrilled to be doing so-and he is wholly unprepared to learn details about the Settlement 2 incident that JD has kept from him. As a young officer, Del was part of a disastrous mission at the COG’s Settlement 2, which shattered his faith in First Minister Jinn’s government. Del Walkerĭel lost both his parents in the difficult aftermath of the Locust War and was siphoned into a boarding school, where he met JD Fenix. After helping to fight back the Swarm’s initial push, JD has once again attracted the interest of First Minister Jinn, much to his father’s and friends’ dismay. Unfortunately, an incident at Settlement 2 left JD deeply disillusioned with the COG, after which he and his best friend, Del, went AWOL and joined an Outsider village. The son of Marcus Fenix and Anya Stroud, JD grew up surrounded by stories of his war-hero parents.
Even after her induction into the COG, her true loyalties are unknown, even to her. Yet Kait also has deep family ties to the COG: her late father was a widely admired lieutenant colonel during the Pendulum Wars and her uncle, Oscar, was a highly decorated frontline Gear in the early years of the Locust War. Her mother, Reyna, was the leader of her isolated Outsider village. Kait was born and raised beyond the COG’s formal jurisdiction.
