Ridge was an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper who served during the Insurrection circa between 2525 and early 2526.[1]
Biography
Ridge spent his childhood in Tricode Village, Mare Erythraeum on Mars, where he was friends with Cadmon and Thomas Lasky. Sometime before April 2526 he served with Cadmon on Arcadia. When his unit came upon a jungle river, Ridge warned the others not to drink the water because it was polluted; Cadmon ignored his friend's advice and contracted diarrhea, earning him the nickname "Volcano".[2]
Ridge was later killed in action by an Insurrectionist grenade on Andesia, traumatizing Cadmon. In remembrance, Cadmon shaved his head, an act Ridge had suggested would make Cadmon tougher.[3]
