An officer of the Allied Territory Army, Lieutenant Cale Tanner is head of the Special Ops Team known as the Dregmols. Husband to Alena and new father to Ashlyn Tanner, Cale struggles with balancing his love of family with his calling as a soldier. He is as loyal to his unit as they are to him, and is dedicated to upholding the ideals of the Allied Government - a democratic society of planets focused on freedom and equality for its citizens. His commitment to his duty is only surpassed by his devotion to those dearest to him.
When writing this character, it was important for me to excentuate Cale's emotional connections with others. Cale bears the weight of competing priorities, something that most of us face in some way, shape or form in our daily lives. He must make tough choices, and must deal with the emotional hardship that sometimes results from those choices. And yet, he always stays true to himself and his core values, even under the most tumultuous of circumstances. For me, Cale represents a beacon of light in the darkest storm. He is a the kind of hero that I have always been inspired by - one who faces internal adversity and perseveres, holding his head high no matter what.
