## Biography

### Dark Matter: Code Red

Dylan was stationed on Nova Station under the command of Colonel Taurus. He fought alongside Collin Williams to try and stop William Ordazed and the Industry from reaching the core of the station. After fighting their way to a train, Dylan and the other IGA soldiers used a train to get to the engineering center of the station. An explosion at the front of the train killed the soldier controlling it, melting the control console in the process. Dylan joined everyone else as they moved to the back of the train and the train smashed into the engineering center. Dylan was the first to get up and ask if everyone was okay. After informing another IGA soldier, only known as "Heras," that the driver did not survive, Dylan sided with Collin in making a break for the interior of the engineering center, despite the news of an Industry sniper using explosive rounds being present. However, Heras insisted on not moving forward without taking out the sniper, prompting the IGA soldiers to stay behind while Collin left them to fight Ordazed.

Dylan survived the sniper fight, but was now one of three IGA soldiers remaining, the others being Taurus and Heras. Collin rejoined them after being defeated by Ordazed and the four tried to make their way to an emergency station that would take the to some escape pods. Taurus fell to the ground during their dash and revealed he had been shot earlier and was too weak to continue from the blood loss. After leaving Taurus behind, Dylan and the others ran into three more survivors at the emergency station: Blake Kraniks, Claire Fender, and Cole Fender.

Dylan was shot by Ordazed on an escape pod deck, shortly after Collin sent out a distress signal to the rest of the Alliance. Hera helped Dylan into the pod, where Claire tended to the gunshot wound. Everyone waited for the fight between Collin and Ordazed to end, but unfortunately, Collin was not successful. Ordazed eventually lifted the latter onto a broken metal rod, impaling Collin through his chest, in-between the mutant's ribs. Knowing everyone in the escape pod would die in the explosion of the station, Ordazed opted to finally evacuate. Dylan watched as Blake and Heras lifted Collin off of the metal rod and aided the mutant into the escape pod.

Nova Station's core went critical and the station exploded. Collin managed to reroute the pod's power to it's impact shields (used for when pods hit the surface of a planet) and saved the group. Unfortunately, the group was unable to contact any of the IGA and Managarian ships that arrived to search for survivors. With their body temperatures dropping, Dylan and the others were losing hope quickly until Collin passed out oxygen masks and ignited flares. The flares burned through much of the remaining air in the pod, but caught the attention of the rescuers. Within minutes, Dylan watched as IGA soldiers cut through the slightly melted pod door.

Dylan and Heras joined each other on Sonovia after they retired early from IGA, who rewarded them both handsomely for their services.

## Personality

Dylan was quick to crack jokes in tense situations, but did not lack courage. His sole focus was saving lives when the Industry attacked Nova Station.

## Notes

* Following the destruction of Nova Station, Dylan was sent to Sonovia by IGA, where he retired from his services with the Alliance days later.
