Edward Thorne. A legend on the battlefield, even turians dreaded the names. Thorne was a major player in the war, not by combat but by training. He trained over 500 soldiers, including Richard Lawson whom he took a liking to. His mentality towards his students was rough and brutal, but it helped them push forward to the goal. Thorne was also a major player in combat, teaching his students about the art of CQC which turians soldiers learned from experience, in which their enemies would use it on them.
