Shortly after he was born his mother married Milo Talon and was adopted by him. Milo is the only father Ethan has known, and he considers Milo's two daughters from a previous marriage as his sisters.

Growing up on the family ranch, the Rafter S, Ethan learned to ride horses, rope, and shoot guns. He adopted his cowboy persona very early on.

At the age of sixteen Ethan lost his mother, who was killed in an accident on their ranch. Depressed it was Trinity, his closest friend, who helped him though the ordeal.

## Original Timeline

Ethan graduated from TAMA and joined the Terra Alpha Marine Corps as a second lieutenant assigned to the 382nd Infantry Regiment. The Imperium War was taking a turn for the worst, and quickly Ethan found himself on the front lines.

At The Battle of Glen Helm Ethan distinguished himself by holding the left line as the last officer in his battalion still standing. His actions at that battle earned him a promotion to Captain and command of Echo Company, 3rd Battalion 382nd Regiment.

Pushed back to Terra Alpha, and the Navy destroyed Ethan with the remainder of the Marines made a last stand near Capital City, which would be known as The Battle of Elysian Fields. The battle was more disastrous than Geln Helm had been, and the Grand Army of the Alliance surrendered on July 28, 2439.

For the next few years Ethan and a group of former Marines carried out raids on Imperium forces throughout Terra Alpha. It was while within the resistance that he was reunited with Trinity Morris-Talon, who was a longtime crysh. There, he learned of a plan to send a ship back in time to undo events the lead to the destruction of the Alliance.

Ethan was not part of the mission, but using his connection to his mother, and Admiral Angel Ryder he was able to gather sufficient information to sneak on to the ship that was being used for the mission, and follow Trinity into the past.

## Post War

Following the Imperium war Ethan returned the Rafter T Ranch and struggled through his PTSD, which he often used alcohol to deal with it. It was of course Trinity that helped him through the ordeal.
