Personal Details
"It's the burden of the honourable man, to fight knowing that your foe is just as much a human being as you are. Nevertheless, the honourable man fights fairly and with all his strength, and whether he triumphs or falls, he pays due respect to his enemies and holds the laws of war sacrosanct at all times."
Tobias Linden's theme
Tobias Linden serves as the US Secretary of Defense, a role that is honestly as far away from his roots as he could ever possibly hope to imagine. Despite this a lifetime of experience has made him uniquely suited to the role as he works to rebuild the one-mighty, now shattered Armed Forces of the United States of America.
Born and raised in Austria, Tobias Linden was a studious child, his poor parents working to the bone to provide him with the opportunities he needed. He entered Vienna University on a military scholarship, where he studied philosophy and law, in which he excelled. Upon graduation he joined the Austrian Air Force as per the stipulations of his contract. It was here that he, unexpectedly, found his true calling- Linden was a natural fighter pilot.
In the years after Second Impact, Linden became a legend amongst the UN forces, known for his piloting talent and calm, collected leadership style. His skill and bravery earned him the call-sign 'Lion'.
His fighter jet was shot down above southwest Somalia during the UN's pacification of Ethiopia. He was assumed dead, but his resurfacing as a LN T-RIDEN-T pilot has strongly disproved this notion.
His wife perished giving birth to his only daughter, Minerva. When Linden was presumed dead, she was assigned to the NeoAlexander Project.
