Applies to: Campaign character setup · minor premise spoilers
Quick answer
Bravo Squad has four playable members: Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago, former Gear Mags Carter and communications cadet Lucas Reyes. The story stays with this squad throughout the campaign, while Marcus and Dom begin it carrying grief and distance after Carlos Santiago’s death.
Who is in Bravo Squad?
The four playable members are Marcus Fenix, Dominic “Dom” Santiago, Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. The Coalition says the story stays with their perspective throughout.
Marcus, Dom and Carlos
Marcus and Dom are young Pendulum Wars veterans. Carlos Santiago—Dom’s older brother and Marcus’s best friend—died shortly before peace, leaving them grieving and emotionally distant when Emergence Day begins.
Mags and Lucas
Mags is a former Gear working at Kalona’s Imulsion Refinery. Lucas is a young cadet and communications officer without front-line experience. Tai Kaliso also appears, but the official overview does not make him one of the four playable Bravo members.
