Birthplace: Belsham
Gunnery Sergeant Washington is a Compact Marine from Belsham assigned as the NCOIC (Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge) for the Household Guard forces during the Kaku V operation. Despite serving under a mission nominally commanded by Bonaparte’s royal forces, Washington—hailing from Belsham, a fiercely republican world—remained highly professional and respected among the troops.
Known for his steady leadership, tactical competence, and dry wit, Washington helped coordinate the rescue of both human and alien hostages from the unauthorized colony on Kaku V. He played a key role in the retrieval of Edward Windsor after the future king placed himself at risk during negotiations with the native cephalopods.
Washington maintained a pragmatic view of the mission, often subtly mocking royal formalities while ensuring discipline and morale stayed high among the troops.
