History
Westin trained at the Somerset Academy as an infantryman, but soon became disgusted with the favor the Lyrans gave to high ranking families in the military. Instead of joining the LCAF, Westin went to Galatea looking for mercenary work. He was picked up by the famous Gray Death Legion, where Westin trained with the GDL's innovative Anti-Mech Infantry.

The 17th Skye Rangers were able to lure him away from the GDL through a mixture of pleas for loyalty and a promotion to an officer's position.

Westin now commands the SOG, which he has trained extensively in Anti-Mech warfare, turning the commando group into a feared and deadly presense on the modern battlefield.

Westin has a known distaste for most MechWarriors, and is known to dislike Captain O'Bannon of Charlie Company, though whether this is for personal or professional reasons, or due to O'Bannon's own animosity is unknown.
