Rian Kingston

Colonel Rian Kingston, otherwise known as "Echo Actual", served during the Human-Covenant War, maintaining command of Special Warfare Group Four, as well as ECHO Team, the latter being primarily during the Fall of Reach. 
== Biography ==
In 2552, he took control of ECHO Team and Special Warfare Group Four, utilizing the SPARTANs in various missions. Unlike Colonel Holland, he had strict mission parameters, believing that discord and anything but uniformity could be quite disastrous. 
=== Before The Fall of Reach ===
Little is known about his time before Reach's fall, but he lost an arm when he disobeyed a commander's order in the field, which further presses his beliefs into the way he commands. 
=== The Fall of Reach ===
Rian was stationed on Reach in 2552, and sent ECHO on an evacuation mission in Esztergom, soon after Winter Contingency was declared. After numerous engagements within that deployment, he sent them to Sword Base to evacuate ONI Officials. For the mission and then on, he added Ophelia B-607 to ECHO Team, making up for their composition formerly being one below par. (Work in Progress, stay tuned!)
== Trivia ==
This character is easily recognizable as a counterpart to Urban Holland, having quite a few similarities, and many of the differences are meant to oppose Urban's traits. This is not only meant to make it seem more uniform, but also to highlight how abnormal his method of command was.
