Who is in Bravo Squad?
The four playable members are Marcus Fenix, Dominic “Dom” Santiago, Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. The Coalition says the story stays with their perspective throughout.
Marcus, Dom and Carlos
Marcus and Dom are young Pendulum Wars veterans. Carlos Santiago—Dom’s older brother and Marcus’s best friend—died shortly before peace, leaving them grieving and emotionally distant when Emergence Day begins.
Mags and Lucas
Mags is a former Gear working at Kalona’s Imulsion Refinery. Lucas is a young cadet and communications officer without front-line experience. Tai Kaliso also appears, but the official overview does not make him one of the four playable Bravo members.
