Michael Kane

Michael Kane, more often simply referred to as The Colonel, is a former soldier who is currently teaching tactics and logistics at The Pilgrim Space Academy.

Before the Saga
Kane was involved with the Rebellion during the First Galactic War, fighting at The Battle of Heaven's Reach and The Battle of Eternity Bay, as well as serving three years on Hues Station.

Starship Quicksilver
Gail Pilgrim first encountered the Colonel in 2203, when he was a passenger on Starship Quicksilver. Kane was returning to the Alpha Centauri system for the first time since the war ended, and mentioned he was looking forward to setting foot on Planet Adroa without a laser rifle in his hands.

The voyage was interrupted when Yuri Yerzov locked himself in the cockpit and hijacked the ship. Working with Sabina White, Kane volunteered himself to be teleported into the cockpit using a cargo teleporter, a very dangerous act which ended up severely injuring him.

After the Yerzov situation was resolved, the Colonel was taken to Innes Station for medical treatment. While he was in the medical bay, the others uncovered evidence that the crew of the station had murdered their former administrator. Kane recovered just in time to subdue Yu Cheung while she was threatening Sabina.

Personality
Michael Kane is an ideal soldier: dutiful, brave and loyal. He is a man of faith, and believes in God.
