Lieutenant Keiji Kage

Peace River Defense Force

On assignment outside of Peace River when CEF saboteurs destroyed the city-state, Keiji Kage is now a man without a nation. Before the tragedy, he had served as a mercenary and a soldier of fortune across the Badlands, including in the community of abandoned Earth soldiers known as Port Arthur. Kage finally settled into the role of a Duelist in the Peace River Defense Force. He married and had a child, only to see them vaporized by the anti-matter device that destroyed his home.

Military Specialties

Lieutenant Kage served as a Duelist for the Peace River Defense Force and then as a test pilot for the Paxton Arms Research and Development wing. This is a testament to his skills as a pilot. Kage is deadly, especially in one-on-one combat where the battlefield is closest to the dueling arena. His time in Port Arthur has also given him a passing familiarity with CEF forces and tactics, a valuable skill in the mission ahead.

Psychological Profile

Part of Kage feels he should have died with his family at Peace River. He has channeled this guilt into anger and his participation in the strike against Caprice is in all likelihood a personal vendetta. This makes him very motivated, but it may cause behavior problems in the field when the professional facade he has built begins to crack. There can be little doubt, however, that he will be effective and driven in combat against CEF forces; the memories of his family give him little choice.
