Preston Marlowe recently arriving in Serdaristan.

Preston Marlowe (1976-) is a U.S Army private who served in "B" Company of the 222nd Army Battalion during the First Russo-American War. Originally stationed in Łódź, Poland, Marlowe was unsatisfied with his deployment as he expected to get into action immediately but instead, he was stationed in the backwater of all US military operations in Europe. During his time in Poland, he befriended a couple of helicopter pilots who drove a UH-60 Black Hawk and was given an opportunity to fly one of the choppers as one of the pilots knew his father, who also happened to be a pilot during the Vietnam War. Marlowe agreed to the pilot's offer and flew the Black Hawk, but his flying skills weren't exactly as good as his father's, as a result, Preston accidentally hit a general's limousine with the rotor of the chopper as he was about to land.

Preston was later detained by the Military Police for his infraction. Expecting that he would be let go with a warning, he was instead transferred to "B" Company (nicknamed "Bad Company") of the 222nd Army Battalion, which was stationed right in the frontlines. Marlowe eventually met up with his squad mates. Samuel Redford, the squad leader who Preston first talks too upon landing in base, introduces him to the two other members of the squad, Terrence Sweetwater, the squad's machine-gunner, and George Gordon Haggard Jr, the squad's demolition expert. Preston eventually developed a tight relationship with his squad, first being treated as the "new kid" by his own squad mates, but after countless operations and battles, and with the downfall of the Legionnaire Mercenaries (a mercenary group responsible for aiding the Russians during the First-Russo American War), he was finally treated as an official member of his squad. Preston, along with his squad mates, would eventually go on to serve as part of the Special Activities Division and operated in Bolivia.
