Portrait of Jane Darby

Back to Squad Leaders

Jane Darby is a playable Marine Squad Leader. She is affiliated with the 103rd Recon 'The Black Sleeves'. A three-star Squad Leader with the stats to match, almost no-one among either the Marines or the residents of the Wayback System can match her skills in stealth and marksmanship. She is, however, somewhat afraid of bugs -- thankfully this does not affect her performance against Alien Wildlife.

Background & Lore

Most records of Darby were destroyed in the dis-straightening incident. What can be said is that unlike most volunteers for the Wayback Mission, Darby has no injuries, age, or personal investments warranting her presence. She very well may be a true believer in ending the Era of Estrangement and, being a rare Full Ace graduate of the Pathfinder School, she has all the tools to assist us in accomplishing just that.

Or, perhaps, she has reasons of her own for joining the mission.

Trivia

In her profile art, she seems to be carrying the green cylinders (possibly glow sticks or flares) attached to the Magazine Pouch miscellaneous equipment, and also has a pistol in her chest carrier, though it's uncertain of what make. In addition to her unit patch on her right shoulder, she has another skull and crossed knives patch on her carrier, which is assumedly the logo of the Pathfinder School. The Latin motto reads "MORTI CERTA HORA INCERTA" (Certain Death, Uncertain Time).

She shares a surname with William Orlando Darby, founder of the US Army Rangers. As he had no children, she cannot be a descendant of him, so Jean Darby may be a nom de guerre rather than her birth name.(TO BE EDITED FOR ACCURACY)
