Personal Relationships.

Officers
Adande Greene - I've known him for three years and there is no way I can work with any other soldier like I can him. We've formed a bond that can be found only in combat. We've shared foxholes, casualties, burdens. We've seen death and suffered together. We've been there for each other in dire moments. I'm truly proud to have served with him.

Diogo Stolarz - Stolarz is one of the only members of the original crew from when we first stepped off on the vessels first mission. I remember he had some shakeups when he started off but it's not easy to fly this vessel. Regardless, he's an expert at everything that has to do with the ship. He's a good and old friend and not even getting his legs chopped off killed him or even slowed him down a little. I wish all my friends were like him. He's a valuable person and not just to me.

Kyle Vernon - Vernon's been with us for a while. He's seen lots of the same thing I have, up till now he seemed like an underutilized asset. Now, it's a different story, I'm gonna need him to get through this and I know I can trust him.

NCOs
Popisia Victomus - Victomus is a pretty good NCO, experienced through 20 something years of service, 15 of which was as a leader of a team of biotics. She's already made herself a commanding presence on the battlefield and I think most of the unit respect her experience and position.

Samuel Chevalier - Chevalier promised to change and he did. Acting like a man of his years experience should and -maybe- after we're out of the shit, I can be his friend again. He got hurt again, he'll make it thank God but he may not be unchanged. Physically, anyway.

Flynt Thatcher - Thatchers squared himself away well enough. As for exceeding standards, I don't know. He hasn't talked to me much since we redeployed to Moscow but I need to be his leader before I can be his friend. That does still mean I need to talk to him.

Enlisted
Rachel Elizabeth - Elizabeth's pretty competent, definitely too smart for Military Intelligence. That was a bad joke, she's a good marine in the field though she hasn't had much of a chance to do her actual job. In the end we're all fighters and she's one of the more experienced ones I'd trust to mentor younger marines.

Jack O'Reily - Not a transfer to the unit but he's good enough for it. He's been utilizing all the resources he can which is a great trait in our situation, better for a non conventional unit like this one.

Victoria Morello - Fresh Marine, not known for anything yet, soon enough she will be if she makes it. She made it and I have mixed opinions from other crewmembers. I think once she understands how things work in this company she'll adjust accordingly but she's a decent marine and CQC specialist which right now is a very valuable asset.

Virlin Valilith - The Hierarchies addition to the team. He's a standard turian, good combatant and squared away. Knows his place maybe too well, never really talks but I like him as a marine and maybe sticking around us humans will make him a better individual.

HM Oboro Kotta - She's the new doc, she does her job and acts professionally. Don't know much else about her, she filled a hole that needed filling corpsman wise, but...Too soon to judge her.

Krevik - Krevik's been a valuable...Asset. He comes from a whole different galaxy than the rest of us. Bred into war taught how to fight the Reapers in the most efficient way. He's good at what he does, killing Reapers but his doctrine might not fit into our war. Aside from that, such a resilience and need to fight, accepting his form, working with us all to combat the reapers, all for revenge.

Civilian/Contractors
Cana'Xeema Vas Constantinople - New Engineer we picked up, sent from the Quarian Flotilla, as if they feel they owe us anything. Maybe she had more to do with her assignment than her Captain did. Obviously, she was pretty excited about the ships Core and specs. I'll have to see what she can actually bring to the table, I already know it's not ground combat but if the ship can get any more efficient then I'll take it.

Former Personnel
Jason Kelce - Just as good as his brother but younger. Seems a lot like just a younger version of his brother but that's how things work in the Kelce family. Well, I'd have a Kelce lead a team any day of the week. Jason earns his praise same as anyone in his family would have to, though. His best trait, damn his best trait. Kelce's are the most brave marines I've ever met and Jason just risked his life to save the VP. Live up to that stubborn reputation, survive. Knew you'd make it, good luck out there.

Travis Kelce - He was a good marine and he always stood firm by his beliefs. Hard-headedness caused problems, I'll admit, it was his best and worst trait but he never changed himself because of someone else opinion. I'm glad I can call him a good friend of mine.

Richard William - He deserves a rest, he deserves a long and happy life of peace.

Lost Personnel:
War Casualties - It's a soldiers duty to die in combat. One day I'll join them all in the afterlife, similar to the way they themselves were delivered. It takes only one small difference in a battle to change the fact that I am alive and my comrades are dead. Though I can't ask to change what happened, I can carry on the fight for them. A burden I will carry until the day I die.

Personal History:

Martin Banner was born in the year 2153 somewhere in South Africa. He did not, however, stay there long, not when he had two parents devoted to the Alliance and still serving in the fleet. Soon after he was born, Martin was taken to live on the Alliance Vessel SSV Flagstaff. He was only four years old when the First Contact War began and in the wake of major military mobilization, Martin was made to live on the Luna colony. The war was quick, however and Martin soon returned to his home that was an alliance cruiser. His parents emerged from the war unscathed physically but his father had not remained unchanged, at first Martin didn't notice as he was too young to understand what happened but as the years went by he realized what happened and how seeing too much changes a man.

Despite Banner having this disturbing knowledge of shell shock and the horrors of war, he decided to join the Alliance Fleet Marines. His parents were both crewmen in the Navy but Banner had heard the stories of his ancestors going back to the first Banner marine, James Banner, who Martin aspired to be like in terms of the mans professionalism, boldness, courage and service. Banner passed basic training at the top of his class earning him an early JNCO training, which he gladly accepted and was trained to be a Fireteam leader and given the rank of Corporal.

Being a marine wasn't all glory for the alliance in his first years, despite the fact that he was placed in a highly mobile marine division, his unit usually stayed on their cruiser as it patrolled perfectly safe areas of space. He did not, however miss out on any experience, he learned a lot from his fellow marines and most notably his squad leader. These years were slow ones as Banner saw one system from the other, never seeing the truly bad parts of the galaxy in the colonial frontier which held creatures and lifeforms that would make one shudder at the thought of what they were capable of and willing to do.

One of these lifeforms had a large market in slavery, they were known as Batarians and after years of Alliance patrols disrupting their activity, the slavers and pirates had enough. When Banner was 23 years old having served in the Marines for five years, the Skyllian Blitz occurred. He was onboard one of the first ships travelling to the system, other marine units deployed but Banners unit was still assigned to ship security and Banner thought he would still see no action. It was just his 'luck' that a highly damaged Batarian cruiser forcibly knocked onto Banners cruiser to avoid any more fire then they boarded several sections of the ship. Banners squad was sent to fortify one of the hull breaches but little did they know, the slavers were already in. When the squad entered to cargo hold, they were fired upon from all sides, his squad was cut down, marines he had known for years dead in seconds including his squad leader.

The remaining marines were leaderless and without direction, it was Banners time to step up to plate, he tossed a grenade into the cargo hold to agitate the slavers then fell back through several corridors while ensuring the slavers saw which turns they made. He set up defense in a particularly long hallway that he knew had turrets installed to. A group of Slavers the size of two squads pursued them all the way up to the corridor and that was when Banner had his immediate revenge, the slavers were all cut down by overwhelming firepower and Banner pushed his squad up pursuing the rest, finishing them off all the way to the cargo hold. The room was cleared and they forcibly disconnected the slavers boarding device which consequently jettisoned more slavers into the void of space.

After the Skyllian Blitz, Banner was promoted to Service Chief and not long after that Gunnery Chief when the old one had retired. He served well as a Platoon Chief and made sure his platoon would be the best of the company. Banner spent two years building up his own marines how he wanted and was proud of each one. Peace did not last forever and Banner was fine with this, just as he was fine with the fact that Batarians had boarded his cruiser years ago. Retribution would be brought upon by the alliance and a blow would be struck to the Batarians they would not soon recover from. Military mobilizations began and the operation known as the Raid on Torfan commenced.

Banner served admirably as the Platoon Chief, directing the flow of squads well saving many lives and even organizing defenses of the platoon HQ itself. Banner couldn't do it all, however, not against this enemy that was never fully studied who had tricks unknown to the Marines. Much of his platoon was lost amounting to the body count the size of a squad. It didn't seem like much in an operation like this but all Banner could think was that less were lost during the Skyllian Blitz and he couldn't help but think it could have been averted. After the raid, when his contract was up, Banner left the Marines to pursue what he thought would save lives.

Banner first started out studying at military academies, not just belonging to the Alliance but to the Turians, Asari, Salarians. Any race sophisticated enough for an academy and a military doctrine, Banner sought out to know it. This work was only an entry, however, as the highly educated upper echelon of the Alliance did already know these doctrines. Banner wanted to go through the galaxy with full means which would need a ship at least the size of a corvette and a crew. Banner did not have the funds for this and so he went to the colonial frontier, spit on his hands and started a PMC.

His PMC days were difficult, his company never growing anywhere past thirty men because of the unwillingness of recruits who were being sucked into the maw of already established super companies such as the Blue Suns, secondly, few were willing to go up against the innumerable vicious invasive species they went up against. Banner didn't blame them, he only blamed the ones who did join and who were not professional enough to handle it. He went from Alliance Marines to frontier gunslingers. Banner was frustrated and saw no end to his financial obstacle in sight but he was saved from an aneurysm when an old unexpected friend came to him.

His friend was the Alliance Rear Admiral Kazimir who had personally presented Banner with his rank of Service Chief and many rewards as well from the Skyllian Blitz. Kazimir somehow tracked him with his infinite resources of commanding a scout flotilla, and hired him as an alliance contractor for exactly the job Banner wanted. Banner was given a decommissioned and oldened corvette and a crew from a place in a citadel that even C-sec forgot existed. Despite their assumed isolation, his crew was a good, educated, trained and professional one that Banner liked from the start. His ship was painted red on the front bottom to signify a red beard and the ship was re-christened as the Barbarossa.

For five years, Banner and his crew traveled across the galaxy for their mission to study the military doctrines of all species and factions, even mercenaries for Alliance benefit. His crew would go everywhere from Omega, studying the cutthroat tactics of Pirates and Mercenaries all the way to Tuchanka, where he would see the ferocity but honor bound fighting habits of the Krogan. His crew would also at times explore planets suitable for Alliance military installations and being good Samaritans responded to distress calls and stopped for stranded ships. After years much knowledge had been added to the Alliance database thanks to the efforts of The Barbarossa. Kasimir came to him, again, however for another contract he was well suited for involving the Geth.


Server Developed History
Banner was offered to be a civilian contractor to compile all the data found on a very dangerous and potential enemy of the Alliance, the Geth. Banner agreed to the contract and left his corvette in the hands of his Executive, Gabriel Staffen. Banner embarked into Geth space onboard the SSV Constantinople, a top of the line Alliance stealth frigate commanded by Adande Greene, a man who would later become a Spectre. Banner used the opportunity well and gained a large fraction of the information that is now in the Alliance database on the Geth. He even had the opportunity to study a re-programmed Geth that fought for the Alliance. Banner was used to fighting along side the marines of the Constantinople and for reasons he didn't know, stayed onboard accompanying them on dangerous missions long after the threat of the Geth was moved past.

It was somewhere in the second month of his contract when the crew discovered an alien species that Banner helped to research. They had been abducting colonies and seemed to be a disgusting abomination of genetic engineering on Prothean subjects. These abductors attacked the Constantinople on multiple occasions tearing through the advanced upgrades like paper. After realizing the potential loss and knowing that his contract was coming to a close as the Geth mission was over, Banner did what he had to. He talked to Rear Admiral Kasimir, still in command of the Flotilla that the Constantinople was subordinate to, and requested to re-join the Alliance Marines as an officer. Kasimir gladly accepted the proposition  and got Banner to the rank of Staff Lieutenant so he could serve as the Executive Officer of the Constantinople. Now Banner in charge of the marines who he fought alongside readies himself to go back into the Colonial Frontier, to discover the secret of the abominable abducting aliens that could very well bring about the end to the Systems Alliance and all others as well.

Banner Commanded the Second Marine Reconnaissance Company throughout it's campaign against the collectors and it's peacekeeping missions across the galaxy. The knowledge he gained on the galaxy and it's threats enabled him to become a far greater commander than he had ever been in his previous term as an Alliance Marine. He commanded almost every ground mission the company embarked on, seeing them all through to the end. Blood was spilled, the enemies and that of the marines. Banner grew close to the men and women in the company, the blows were as devastating as they had always been, nothing had changed since his first action but there was an important difference, Banner disciplined himself to show strength in such the face of such a thing, he was able to knowing that acting in such a manner, even if it was a simple deception was better for the marines living and those killed. Such a method of approach has made Banner maintain a professional relationship with the marines under his command despite how close he has grown to the marines of the company.

After fighting the collectors in several skirmishes and intelligence gathering missions up till the point when Shepard destroyed their main hive mind. After every peace keeping mission and every pirates hunted down. After participating in the bloody battle of New Thebes, the company was spared no time to rest. Only days after the Battle of New Thebes had occurred, The Constantinople was back to responding to short term calls, their first call was a cargo ship being under attack by pirates. In truth, the ship and the call were a ruse by Cerberus in an attempted action against the Alliance, whether it was against the Constantinople specifically or just a random attack remains unknown.

Shortly after, he and his company were given an assignment in Batarian space after a mass call for help and sudden blackout. During their investigation, the 2nd MSRC found evidence of a Reaper and directly engaged one. The warnings were not enough and by the time Banner returned with his company, Earth was already under siege. There was no time to prepare as Banner and his family were plunged into the seemingly endless Battle For Earth
