Former UN Marine colonel who became the most wanted man in the Belt after Anderson Station, and then - through a long process of reckoning with what he had done - became the most important non-Belter leader in the OPA. A man trying to build something better out of the wreckage of his own history.

A Belter who rises from security chief at Tycho Station to captain of her own ship to president of the Transport Union. Pragmatic, loyal, and capable of enormous violence when the situation calls for it. One of the series' most consistent moral anchors in the later books.
