== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Tristan Kendrick is actually born in Bellavalle, Ardona. However, he was raised in the Panamoan Republic. The vineyards didn't appeal to him, which made him absorbed to the Panamoan way of life. His Evalk descent bestowed a sense of pride and fierceness that borderline on a short temper. He soon joined the Winslow Accord after he was disowned from his family due to exposing them for supporting Theta Dynamic Technologies, to which he claims it is an evil corporation that turns people into machines, and creates weapons of war. As it would turn out, he was absolutely right. 
=== Hot-Headed Rising ===
Driven by a profound belief in the evil nature of Theta Dynamic Technologies, Kendrick chose the path of the Winslow Accord to confront the corporation's malevolent influence. His aggressive tactics and unyielding approach set him on a collision course with Captain Jerrick Taylor, his more composed superior. As a Lieutenant, Kendrick's contrasting views and aggressive style of leadership made him a polarising figure within the Accord.
=== Futureline War ===
Captain Kendrick's role in the Futureline war was crucial, marked by proficiency in leadership and combat. To maintain an edge in the evolving conflict, he underwent cybernetic enhancements, embodying the fusion of nevian and machine in the war against Theta and the Communist Defence Pact. From the betrayal in Zinger Forest to the scorching sands of Masada and the defence of his homeland, Kendrick's presence on the battlefield left an indelible mark.
=== Death - A Blazing Fate ===
Captain Kendrick met his end during the final days of the Homeland Invasion in the Panamoan Republic. In a selfless act of sacrifice, his cybernetic arm became entangled with an SRAP hunter sphere. Rather than succumbing to defeat, Kendrick seized the opportunity. Leaping onto an enemy X1 Wraith gunship, he hijacked the aircraft, pulled out a grenade, and initiated an explosion that engulfed the gunship, the hunter sphere, and ultimately, himself. His sacrifice echoed through the war, a testament to the relentless fight against the Communist Defence Pact.
