Character Background

Gary Lindros was born on Planetary Union world [Capizzi 7]]. His father, Pintero Lindros, retired as a Raider sergeant. Gary was always expected to join the Raiders. However, having been born on lower-gravity Capizzi 7 (0.87g), he has always been thin. So thin, in fact, he almost didn't quality for Raider training at Brittmore Base because he couldn't meet minimum weight requirements.

While Gary struggled with the physicality required of Raider training, he excelled at the mental aspect, scoring high on leadership and strategic aptitude tests. That earned him a ticket to officer school.

Attributes

Personality

Gary is often overwhelmed as a commander, even though he works hard and does his best to live the Raider ethos.

Description

From SHAKEDOWN

• A thin, young male, Lieutenant Lindros. Sigler, Scott. The Crypt: Shakedown: (A Military Sci-Fi Novel) (pp. 72-73). Aethon Books. Kindle Edition.

From VOIDSTRIKE:

• Raider Platoon Commander Gary Lindros preferred to keep his dark gray coveralls fastened all the way up to his thin neck — maybe he figured if he was going to sweat regardless, he might as well look ship-shape. The scalp beneath his sandy blond high and tight gleamed with sweat. Final draft.
• Lindros squared his shoulders. Was the LT putting on weight? He was still skinny, far too skinny for a Raider, but his coveralls didn’t hang quite as much as they had. Maybe it was just the lighting that made it look that way. Final draft.

Family

• Father: Pintero Lindros, Raider sergeant, retired
• Mother: Gwen Vanting-Lindros: deceased
• Brother: Carl Lindros

Friends

• Gary's belief in the Raider ethos leads him to form no close friendships on Keeling.

Crime

Lindros committed no crime. His lack of connections and decent academic record led to his assignment to Keeling.

Identifying Mannerisms

• Nickname: "Dork". This unfortunate moniker comes because of his propensity to streak naked while Keeling is in transdim, thereby showing his penis, which a Raider described as "as big as a whale's cock."
