Biography[]
Ray Butts joined the United States Marine Corps at 20. A week out of the Space Aviators Academy in Loxley he was in Quantico Officers Candidate School, finishing at the top of the class. Butts served in Karakorum and with Special Forces in the Silicate War, where he received two Silver Stars in while assigned in Guatemala.[1]
Butts has been a Marine for so long and in so many stressful situations that it has seriously compromised his inter-personal skills. All of the Wild Cards and McQueen absolutely loathe him within a few minutes of meeting him thanks to his personality, rude sense of superiority, and refusal to explain any of his mission objectives even when it's necessary to understand the mission.
Call Sign: “Kicks Butts” and “Deuce” (when flying with the 58th).
He died luring a squadron of Chig fighters into the Cerberus Black Hole.
