History Characters / ProjectWingman

** Similar to Trigger and the other convicts of Spare Squadron, he and the other reservists are a looked down upon RagtagBunchOfMisfits annoyed to be dragged into the war and iritated by an AWACs that initially commands them with disdain.

* CharacterDevelopment: He goes from being a relatively easy-going free spirit to a more weary, embittered mercenary after the [[spoiler:Presidia bombings.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: He deliberately nukes Presidia to oblivion with his PW-Mk.1's cordium warheads while slaughtering both the Federation, Cascadian forces and civilians in cold blood just to spite towards Monarch.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: Losing half his squadron above the Bering Strait broke something in him. Whether it's seeing a "mere" mercenary trashing them, the aura of invincibility of Crimson squadron being shattered, [[spoiler:his Federation jingoism being put to the test]] or a combination of all three started his fixation on Monarch.

* AcePilot: They may not be at the same skill level as Crimson, but without [[PlayerCharacter Monarch,]] the Cascadian and Mercenary pilots are easily torn apart by Steel. [[spoiler:They even force the ''Eminent Domain'' to retreat once the invasion is on the backfoot.]]

* HotBlooded: They take the forefront the moment they arrive to help [[PlayerCharacter Driver]] and the rest of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits K-9 Squadron]], and like to get up close to the enemy to the concern of other Federation officers.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Their leader, Steel 1, is Ulaanbaatarian royalty, and will [[RankScalesWithAsskicking kick the asses of any mercenary getting to cocky for their skill.]]
* WorfEffect: The mercenaries tearing up Federation defenses [[DeathFromAbove from the air]] are suddenly and mercilessly shot down when Steel Squadron arrives.

[[folder:Federation Intercept Specialists]]
A highly skilled interceptor squadron used by the Federation to protect their air corridors, backed by airships.

* WakeUpCallBoss: While a lot of the danger during their fight comes from the airship they escort and they're only two, they can use both flares and [[ImprobablePilotingSkills AOA limiters]], giving the player a preview of what to expect once they'll face Crimson for real.

* GeneralRipper: She's a veteran of the Federation-Oceania War and absolutely despises the Federation. She spearheads an invasion of Federation territory under the justification that it will draw Federation forces away from Cascadia, but it's clear she's more focused on inflicting as much damage of the Federation as possible.

** During the third and fourth phases during his last battle, he'll becoming increasingly unhinged, snarling that the Federation will eventually forget about Monarch once he's done with the latter.
-->'''Crimson 1''': [[spoiler:"The Federation might try to forget about you, but I won't! This is for the good of the world!"]]

* SurroundedByIdiots: He's clearly exasperated when he's forced to work with K-9 in "Bottom of the Barrel", who have zero combat experience or respect for military decorum. However, his attitude changes one K-9 is able to prove themselves in battle.

* NotSignedOnForThis: She complains that she only joined the reserve force to perform some civic duties, not be thrown into the meatgrinder of a full scale war she has no stakes in. Had she known what she was getting herself into she would wave [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ignored the mobilization order]] and risked jail time instead.

* GeneralFailure: Despite her initial success in landing on Magadan, Faust completely fails to find a way to prevent K-9 from stopping her invasion in its tracks.

* ShoutOut: They are likely a reference to Wardog Squadron from ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar''. "K-9" is generally slang for dogs, and the Cascadians usually refer to K-9 as "Federation dogs". Also, like Wardog, K-9 flies as a flight of four planes.
* UncertainDoom: The last we see of them is is at the end of ''Frontline-59'' [[spoiler:right as the Federation fires cordium missiles at Prospero that ultimately trigger the [[EarthShatteringKaboom Second Calamity]]. Granted, Hitman survived at the epicenter and it looked worse than it was, so K9 almost certainly made it out and at worst may have been forced to eject at a safe location]].

[[folder:Driver]]
The lead pilot of K-9 Squadron and the player character for ''Frontline-59''.
