== Charactah Account ==
Baird is a snarky, jerkass Gear who's constantly being promoted and demoted due to his skills and always being an ass to his superiors. An expert at all things technical, Baird's very proficient at science and the inner workings of the Locust Horde, as well. Every squad, ship captain, and helicopter crew want him to be transferred to their command for his skills, something which he knows and relishes. He is best friends with Augustus Cole.

Like the other male Gears, he's built like a tank, but is just as good an engineer as he is a soldier.
