Arnold Neumann is the ranking non-commissioned officer of the Earth Alliance warship Archangel, and one of the few survivors of the ship's original crew. After the attack on Heliopolis, Neumann takes over as the ship's pilot. Quiet and professional, he's usually overshadowed by his charismatic superiors, but when the Archangel is locked down at the space fortress Artemis, he takes charge and breaks the ship free.
