Rogers Darren: a Marine officer defined by excess—smoking, drinking, scheming, seducing, scheming for wealth, and trampling every regulation underfoot. When interrogated at Marine HQ for embezzling wages, trafficking Germa technology, orchestrating Celestial Dragon assassinations, and maintaining an unseemly web of noble liaisons, Darren doesn't flinch. Instead, he leans back, cigar smoke curling through the air, and delivers his trademark defiance: "I smoke. I drink. I chase money and women. I hunger for power. I deceive. I defy authority. But make no mistake—I'm the finest Marine this organization has ever seen." The room erupts into stunned silence. (￣□￣；) (ーー゛) (￣o￣)
