Overview

Lieutenant Kate 'Lanza' Markson, at the age of 41, boasts a storied past deeply rooted in the UCAS military. His journey began as a young recruit, where he quickly distinguished himself through a combination of tactical acumen and unwavering determination.

During a particularly intense mission, Kate displayed remarkable marksmanship, earning him the nickname 'Lanza,' a nod to his proficiency with a wide range of weaponry. The moniker stuck, becoming an emblem of his prowess and earning him a reputation as a sharpshooter among his peers.

After a distinguished career in the military, Kate transitioned into civilian life, seeking a new challenge.

Beyond his professional life, Kate is a devoted spouse and mother of two children. His dedication to his family mirrors his commitment to his work, balancing the demands of a high-stakes career with the responsibilities of parenthood.
