• Characters
• Gabriel “Gabe” Diaz
• Gabe Diaz was a decorated Lieutenant Colonel in the Pendulum Wars, and his tactical brilliance was key to the COG victory over the UIR at the Battle of Gatka Ridge. But victory came at a tremendous cost, and Gabe refused to put his skills to work for the COG any longer, busting himself down to Sergeant. When the COG calls Gabe -- now a mechanic in the motor pool -- back into action on the eve of the Hammer strikes against the Locust, he has no choice but to follow orders, and uncovers a dire new threat to the people of Sera
• Sid Redburn
• Major Sid Redburn is a veteran Gear who has long been entrusted with the COG’s top-secret missions, including the one that brings Gabe Diaz back into the fight. But Sid has his own motivations for helping Gabe and the COG with their mission to track down enemy mastermind Ukkon…and those secrets could put their entire mission at risk
• Mikayla Dorn
• Mikayla Dorn was a civilian engineer who took up the fight against the Locust after Emergence Day. Now leading a group of survivors, she harbors an intense hostility against the COG, whom she feels have abandoned their own people. When Gabe and Sid help her civilians fend off a Locust attack, Mikayla grudgingly agrees to help them hunt down the leader of the enemy: Ukkon
• Jack
• Gears of War’s signature companion bot, Jack has joined Gabe and the heroes of Gears Tactics*. Jack is a one-of-a-kind prototype with powerful artificial intelligence and a suite of upgradeable abilities.

Jack played a critical role in the events of Gears 5, and will bring his unique abilities to wage war against the Locust in Gears Tactics
• Ukkon
• Ukkon is the monster who creates monsters. This Locust scientist genetically engineered the creatures that have terrorized the people of Sera since E-day, including the Brumak, Reaver and Corpser. When Gabe is ordered to track down Ukkon, he discovers that the Locust is now using Imulsion to create a new breed of biological horrors
