Kevin Silon was an Insurrectionist fighter on Venezia. Born in 2532 in New Tyne, Silon's family was left relatively untouched by the rebellion that swept over the planet in 2540. As he grew into his teenage years, Silon became caught up in a wave patriotic fervor that occurred around 2549, and, against the wishes of his relatively neutral family, joined the Insurrectionist forces on Venezia, and, after a several month period of training, was assigned to the New Tyne Air Militia as an observer aboard a T-96 turned forward reconnaissance aircraft.
