Ryan

Ryan was a gunner in the Royal Air Force. He flew almost 40 missions with Johnny Grayson.

Biography
Ryan and Johnny flew 38 sorties over France, Germany, and Belgium during the Chimeran War. They volunteered for a risky assignment over Berlin, and during this mission they were shot down. Both survived the crash (and so did their sidearms), and they moved through Chimeran lines, dodging Chimeran patrols and trying to survive.

For a week, Johnny and Ryan survived on their own. Then, they entered Belgium and found a group of German refugees moving towards Germany - and the Chimera. Johnny and Ryan turned the group around towards France and joined the refugees, becoming their leaders. Ryan was able to speak some German, and when he and Johnny outlawed fires at night (since they would attract Chimera) he could tell that this upset many refugees.

When one refugee actually started a fire during the night, Ryan told Johnny, and when Johnny went to discipline the refugee, the Chimera attacked. The refugee was killed, and Johnny ordered Ryan to set a fire to multiple trees while they were retreating from the Chimera, in order to throw the Chimera off their track. As Ryan began to do this, he was shot. Johnny became furious and killed the entire Chimeran patrol, starting with the Hybrid who shot Ryan. Johnny believed himself to blame for Ryan's death, and felt very guilty over it.
