Tai Kaliso
- Age:
- 35
- Orientation:
- Straight
Corporal Tai Kaliso was a Gear soldier who hailed from Irohma Island in the South Islands. A boulder of a man, his muscular appearance stands in contrast to his quiet, meditative personality. Tai was descended from a long line of men who viewed themselves not just as fighters but as warriors. This lineage molded Tai into a warrior-philosopher with a spiritual view of war that often caused odd glances from his squadmates. However, they liked and respected him, even if they didn't always understand him. Tai and Marcus Fenix have a long history of saving each other's lives during the Pendulum Wars, and served alongside each other several times during the Locust War. Tai, along with his attitude, is calm and almost philosophical at moments. During battle he can reflect this calm and yet violent personality, as he says "I like the glow of Locust blood in this light". He is willing, able, strong, brave, ready to lead, and ready to fight, just like any COG soldier should be. Tai believed in destiny, and that one would reach their destined place in the world no matter what they did. After being captured and tortured, it lead him to suicide but it was not of own personal dissatisfaction with life, but rather because he was left a broken and hollow man according to his religion. His soul had left his body long before his torture by his Locust captors, his body was merely following when it got the opportunity. Tai decorated his armor and Lancer with tribal symbols similar to his tattoos, something that was against regulations. Tai always checked over vehicles before he entered them, after friends of his in the Pendulum Wars were killed by a bomb planted on their vehicle.

Marcus Fenix
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 35
- Orientation:
- Straight
Sergeant Marcus Fenix is the leader of Delta Squad. A totally professional soldier, Marcus Fenix is generally gruff and aggressive. He is a natural leader; being promoted to corporal not long after he joined the army, and was promoted to sergeant after the death of Lt. Kim; despite Hoffman’s disappointment in him due the fact he deserted his post on E-day. However, there have been several times when Marcus has put friends and family before the call of duty; he deserted his post to try and save his father, as well as going with Dom to look for Maria despite that not being their mission. He frequently displays great loyalty to his friends. While serving time in the slab, he would tattoo his prison tag on his right arm. Marcus was a very cold person, and he rarely displays any emotions other than anger. Part of his cold demeanor stems from the loss of his best friend Carlos Santiago and a strained parental relationship during his childhood and adolescent years although, as Maria Santiago points out, his father at the very least cared deeply about him but apparently didn't know how to truly show it. However, on occasions a glint of caring is seen under the hard exterior. He is able to show sorrow when losing a teammate. After Carlos died, Marcus is seen digging a hole in his grave, and then placing his Embry Star in the hole. This was one of the few occasions where Marcus was known to cry.

Damon Baird
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 35
- Orientation:
- Straight
Baird is a rather negative and sarcastic person, and is usually unkind. He speaks his mind freely, a trait that often annoys (sometimes even hurts) other, and most often gets him into trouble. Baird offended Marcus when he talked about his mother, and was actually punched by Bernadette Mataki because he ran his mouth off too much. Despite this, his intelligence and ability as a mechanic make him a valuable addition to any squad, though during the Mission to Jilane, Baird showed a chauvinistic attitude towards Alex Brand and Jilane survivors[95]. During the Evacuation of North Gate he berated Cole for giving a group of stranded children ration bars, referring to them as 'Parasites'. Baird can also be considered anti-social, as he backs away from people to machines. This may be because of the way he grew up and the way his parents had raised him. He is sometimes noted as, "his love of machines is more than his love of people."

Augustus Cole
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 35
- Orientation:
- Straight
In the days before E-Day, Cole was a terrific Thrashball player. He brought his love for the game to the battlefield and treats the war like a big game. When it comes to killing Locust, he considers himself the best of the best, as evidenced by his quotes. He does not appear to fear the Locust and has killed many of them even when outnumbered. In and out of battle, he has an inexhaustible amount of energy that seems to amp up people around him. And with his childlike humor he was able to lift the spirits of the fellow Gears. Though Cole has a darker side, every night Cole writes a letter to his dead mother saying all the things he could not tell her in life, a custom practiced by many Gears.[116][117] Cole has turned down a promotion to Corporal. He believes there is no point in promotions, only in killing Grubs until there are no more to kill. While his natural energy and exuberance were for real, he exaggerated it around his squadmates in order to cheer them up, and instill confidence in them.
