NPC Data: Dom

At twenty-one years old, Private Dominic "Dom" Santiago serves as a highly skilled Commando within the COG Army and stands as Marcus Fenix’s fiercely loyal brother-in-arms. Standing at six feet tall, Dom possesses a brutally masculine, chiseled face framed by a strict high-and-tight military haircut and a meticulously sculpted, dark, coarse goatee that accentuates his rugged features. Beneath his intimidating exterior lies a generally upbeat and deeply devoted man whose moral compass and unwavering loyalty to his friends and family often put him at odds with the rigid expectations of COG high command. Haunted by the devastating loss of his children on Emergence Day and driven by a desperate need to find and protect his missing wife, Maria, he channels his profound grief into a relentless drive for retribution against the Locust Horde. Armed with standard Commando weaponry like the Lancer Assault Rifle and Gnasher Shotgun, Dom operates as the vital emotional anchor and dependable frontline combatant of his squad, always willing to risk his own life and defy protocol to ensure the survival of those he loves.
