Sgt. John Schneider | Waldemar Fegelein | A graduate of the Thors Military Academy, The Erebonian college-man-turned-soldier often chews bubblegum and wears a Brodie Helmet with a rubber band attaching a patch of the 21st Erebonian Parachute Regiment and 2 strips of gum. He is also shown to be a ladies man at some times. |
LCpl. Taizo Kim | Ryuk Chang-min | A Joyonghean immigrant to Nihhon-koku; He is the team's best wheelman and always has a firm belief that they will get out alive regardless of the harsh experiences. He is a positive thinker as well. He wears a Mk III helmet with a Joyonghean flag painted on the back with 3 chili peppers, referencing the interest of Joyongheans in spicy food. When not in combat, He is seen fermenting chili or eating Kimchi. |
Notable enemies included:
Maj. Nguyen Pham Trinh | William George Hoang | A dedicated, but honorable Quenminese officer and the Patrol's main nemesis. By the end of the series it becomes clear that Pham, although a cunning opponent, never stoops to the cruel methods of his fellow officers. |
