Time for another character introduction for PSCD. He’s a war veteran and a “tough guy”! 😀

Description:
The oldest hero in the squad, Mario has seen more war than most soldiers learn in ten lifetimes.  He is the man you turn to when you need a bunker down in a hurry, or cross a deep ravine while undergoing heavy fire.

Mario’s years of service have left their mark on him.  His loyalty to the Human Empire is matched by his disdain for all things alien.  This bitterness arises from seeing all that humanity has built torn asunder by violent aliens on distant planets.  

The defining moment of Mario’s career occurred when his construction squad was assaulted by a squad of Matrick while laying the foundation for a forward outpost.  Defying orders to retreat, Mario’s squad bunkered down, and held off the Matrick until a relief force arrived.  

Mario was going to be given a medal for his actions, but was punished when, during the presentation ceremony, he struck his commanding officer, and called him a coward for ordering a retreat.

For all his military pride, Mario has a discerning palate, and has threatened bodily harm on multiple occasions for the swill the military cooks before him.  He has remarked when he retires, he will finally get a decent meal in his home country.
