Lieutenant Boyden Wallis

Norlight Armed Forces

Like many Norlights, Boyden Wallis is a man of faith. A devout follower of the Revisionist Church, the major religion born on Terra Nova, Wallis sees his military service as a spiritual obligation. For him, this is a pilgrimage, the Revisionist duty to better the world. He joined the Norlight Armed Forces when he felt the South was getting to be too dangerous and served with distinction during the Interpolar War. With the destruction of Peace River, he realized that the true enemy was Earth, a faithless colonialist empire bent on subjugating his church, his nation, and his planet. Wallis is anxious to test his mettle against the "heathens" of the CEF.

Military Specialties

Lieutenant Wallis is an experienced Gear pilot, having served with the 7th Norlight Gear Regiment (Red Crusaders) during some of the hardest fighting of the Interpolar War. His combat skills are excellent and he is not prone to hot-dogging.

Psychological Profile

Boyden Wallis' faith is his strongest psychological asset and his greatest weakness. The conviction that the Gentle Prophet is on his side makes Wallis a fearless soldier. Unless his faith is profoundly shaken - something unlikely to occur - Wallis should be virtually immune to any psychological problems and resist interrogation if he is captured. Unfortunately, his driving faith isolates Wallis from the rest of the Black Talon pilots. Indeed, fighting with those who don't share his faith is somewhat distasteful to him. Conflict with the Southern pilots may be unavoidable.
