"I know he's out there. My boy is out there. You find him and bring him home. Do what the rest of us couldn't."
— Dying words to his granddaughter about John Forge[1]

The father of John Forge and grandfather of Rion Forge, he died from Boren's Syndrome and motivated Rion to uncover her father's fate.[1]

Biography[edit]

A Marine with a larger-than-life personality, he fought in the Insurrection and was away from home for long periods of time. At the end of his life, Boren's Syndrome ate away at his mind and body.[1]

Notes[edit]

There is some possibility that John Forge's father was a member of the ORION Project, but this depends on whether Boren's Syndrome was invented to cover the project or was a real illness. When speaking about her grandfather's feelings about his own death, Rion Forge said: "He didn't regret it, though. Said it was his choice."[1]
