Joseph Conrad is a tough, experienced soldier. He's one of the few people to have survived a large-scale swarm invasion, an experience which forged him into the man he is today. A strong commander, he leads both by example, and through the not-so-gentle application of verbal foot to ass. He knows his team well and pushes hard to keep them at their best.

Notes[]
- Sarge's real name, Joseph Conrad, is an oblique reference to the Alien franchise[1] on which the game is heavily based. The ship in Alien was the Nostromo, from Conrad's work of the same name. The Sulaco, from Aliens, is a fictional town in the book. The escape vessel in Alien is named Narcissus, a reference to another of Conrad's works, The N-Word of the 'Narcissus' [2].
