| Personal History | Gordon was the result of a USO function that went a bit better than anticipated. His father Rex was the proud Father of a bouncing Baby Orion Boy. Growing up on Earth was an experience for Gordon; he was constantly living down the nick name "Kermit' during his formative years. It did not abate his desire to use his Physical Prowess to his advantage and protect those that Gordon believed needed him as their Champion. While his father treated him with deep affection he did make sure that Gordon knew the consequences of his actions. He was taught the code of Honor and how his father felt were the skills of a man. Going into middle and high school Gordon was a rather large kid for his age, the Orion blood was enough to give him some physical advantages. As a game to direct his physical energy he took up Rugby rather than the 'slower' option of football. Also he was among the higher levels of the Grade Point Average; his mother had taught him the Orion language with the firm rule he never allow the knowledge to be given to the Federation as a whole, it was a cherished language among her people. When he was adolescence he discovered old Motorcycles, the old style 'off-road' riding style gave him another outlet until he discovered Girls. His physical prowess did make him more desired by the girls and despised by the boys outside his Rugby Team. Also the members of his Father's unit were like a second family to the boy, they treat him almost as one of their own and it was this relationship that cemented his desire to be a Marine. During High School he studied hard to make the best entry into the Marines Corps; he was determined to be among the Few and the Proud. Graduating in the top 10% of his Graduating class. Gordon joined the Marines with the desire to be among the Elite, he had a easier time with the Physical end of his training. He also sought to help other fulfill their goals be Being a Marine. He was so prepared in both mind and body that he earned a slot to take the test of the Force Recon. |

He is quickly made the Communications Man of his Tactical Unit.

The fact he did well with utilizing the Marines to support the more 'Forward' Operations. Coming on the tail of the Dominion War Gordon learned thatthe Fall-out of 'rebuilding was much more difficult than those that fought to a degree. Creation is always harder and chasing down the Pirates had a tinge of mixed emotions as he was forced to fire upon one half of his heritage. During the operations it is observed that Gordon had no qualms about facing an enemy preying on innocent Merchant vessels by Pirates. He had a coldness to him as he had to keep that emotional control over himself. This is where he gained the "Game Face' for his future Command. The USS Dakota became a front line vessel that would go with the Fleet Intelligence leads not fully corroborated but of high enough risk to bring other armed forces to scope out the problems. His communications skills shone through as he helped train those under his unit command; with some 'firm' suggestions he accepted the Jump to Warrant Officer at the beginning of his two tours and ending as a Chief Warrant Officer. Until the Battle for Planet 1473, the Insertion force met hostile forces on a planet that was not yet on any charts officially. A civil action sparked and spread throughout the planet. The Force Recon had been landed as rumors of 'Klingon Advisers' were helping this along.
