J.G. Wetteroth
J.G. Wetteroth is a Squad Leader, belonging to Wetteroth's Lodge. Apparently of Australian descent judging by his accent, he has made a name for himself on the planet Songlurch since arriving in the Wayback System. Though his Unique Perk is useful (at first, at least) only against Alien Wildlife, his other skills are very effective against all foes if used creatively.
