Carl Simon

Carl Simon was a member of the 15th ATAC, under the command of Lt. Dana Sterling, before the end of the Second Robotech War and the collapse of the United Earth Government.

Early Life
Carl was born August 9, 2010, in Ho Chi Minh City, the son of a Vietnamese woman and a Russian soldier who was stationed at a military base nearby during the peace enforced by the arrival of the SDF-1 in 1999. When the Global Rain of Death occured in 2011, his father was killed and his mother fled the devastation.

Growing up in relative poverty, he developed a somewhat paranoid view of the world, which in the aftermath of the Rain of Death was somewhat justfied. His frank approach to social interactions gave him more than a few knocks, and his opinions on the EBSIS who abandoned his family led him to join a local militia, and to volunteer with the RDF when they established a presence in the area. It wasn't long before the RDF began transitioning it's bases to the newly formed Armies of the Southern Cross, and Carl left for the Academy in Monument City, where he was a founding member of the 15th ATAC Squad under 1st Lieutenant Sean Phillips.

Military Life
Carl's time with the 15th ATAC was full of chaos, as many of the new officers in the Southern Cross didn't take their roles as seriously as a military officer should, and the change in leadership to an untried 15 year old girl had many commenting on the lack of effectiveness of the Southern Cross in general.

Mercenary Life
Since leaving the Southern Cross at the end of the Second Robotech War, Carl continued to fight to defend the public under command of his squad's former REF Liason, Raoul.
