Colonel
Greg Lewis=
 * Name: Greg "Hachi" Lewis
 * Rank: Colonel
 * Role: Assault
 * Age: 32
 * Nationality: United States
 * Ethinicity: African-American
 * Psi-Grade: Null

Currently assigned as Team Alpha's leader, Colonel Lewis joined the initiative after a period of service in the U.S.M.C. and has been one of the most senior soldiers on the base since his promotion during Operation: Frozen Pipes.

While he has proved most effective combating Mutons and Berserkers (Saving Col. Xho at least three times form being flanked), numerous severe injuries and cases of battle-fatigue he sustained in his early career with us have brought on a cause for concern to his mental well-being, particularly after the death of Cpt. Asdruabel. Doctor Elena has indicated to us that P.T.S.D. is a serious issue for him. As a result, he, along with Col. Xho, were first in line to wear the first iterations of Project: Titan.

Post-infirmary reviews suggest placing him on base command duty where the pressures of battle are less intense. P.T.S.D. Indicators are enough for the research teams to opt him out of the psi-programme.

Commander's notes: "Col. Lewis has been an outstanding performer despite several cases of stress-induced panic, even more extraordinary is that many of these panic-attacks have saved lives, despite requests to re-station him, I do not think the Initiative would be anything like it is now without him."

Abdullah Xho=
 * Name: Abdullah "Nu" Xho
 * Rank: Colonel
 * Role: Assault
 * Age: 28
 * Nationality: Saudi Arabia
 * Ethinicity: Arabic
 * Psi-grade: Null

Perhaps one of the initiative's most infamous residents, with a count of 15 missions and 33 kills he has been nicknamed "The walking Armageddon." (although for some reason most call him "Nu"). Xho has been with us from the very beginning of the project, one of the early candidates after the disaster of Operation Devil's Moon, he is often seen leading the charge, preferring either a shotgun or the biggest small-arms weapon he can get his hands on.

His ferocirty and confidence made hi mthe perfect candidate for Project: Titan, after being incorporated into the armor it is fair to say he thoroughly enjoys using it.

After Col. Paolo's poditive grading on psi-tests, the major has been insistent he be tested next. Although laboratory staff prefer it he kept out of the psi-labs. Due to several incidents in the barracks since implantation, Col. Xho has been convinced to pay for damages he causes through his own salary.

Commander's notes: "Never piss off the Saudis. While true of many nationalities, Col. Xho has proven it time and again that he is one human that aliens definitely should not get in the way of. How he has come out of so many missions with only minor or moderate medical treatment we have no idea (although we'd prefer it if he didn't get hurt so much. Maybe we should put him through psi-testing just so he can shut up (luckily, he's happy with his power armour)"

Jorge Paolo=
 * Name: Jorge "Koluap" Paolo
 * Rank: Major
 * Role: Support
 * Age: 32
 * Nationality: Spain
 * Ethinicity: Hispanic
 * Psi-Grade: Alpha

Major Paolo joined the initiative in its early days, since his hasty attempt to revive then-squaddie Asdruabel during a mission in Cape Town, South Africa, it is general consensus that Mjr. Paolo is one of the Initiative's best soldiers and perhaps a pillar of the initiative. His efforts in the field earned him the right to lead Squad Beta on operations (which was common due to Col. Lewis' habit of suffering serious injury during missions).

Paolo was the first candidate for the Psi-programme, coming out with incredible success and at present is our only psionic individual (although more tests are underway to find more individuals). Alongside Col. Lewis and Col. Xho, mjr. Paolo was chosen as one of the first candidates for Project: Titan, presently one of the best defences against alien weaponry we have ever devised.

Commander's notes: "History is full of great men, if we ever lose the major you can be damn sure the entire base will feel it. Hell, we might have to shut down the base for a day just to mourn the guy. Frozen Pipes participant, Project: Titan candidate and first human psionic, if this guy keeps up he'll end up saving the whole damn planet by himself!"
