The main character, | The main character, a soldier thrown in prison 14 years prior to the start of the game. Before "Emergence Day" (the day that the Locust Hoarde invaded), there was a huge war going on between all of the nations in the world. When oil supplies were running low, an alternate energy source, called "Immulsion," was discovered. It turned out that Immulsion was not only more productive than oil, but it was environmentally friendly. Some nations had bountiful amounts of Immulsion, some had none. When the less lucky nations attacked the ones with all the extra energy, the Pedulum Wars had begun. Sera (the planet Gears Of War takes place on), was torn apart in war, and no one saw the Locust invasion coming. When the Locust attacked, Marcus was instructed to protect civilians and to fight the Hoarde, but instead he went to save his father and was charged with treason. | ||
Son of famed military scientist Adam Fenix, Marcus established a reputation as a brilliant soldier during the Pendulum Wars, earning field promotions and decorations. He was on a fast track to an outstanding military career, until the war with the Locust Horde began. | Son of famed military scientist Adam Fenix, Marcus established a reputation as a brilliant soldier during the Pendulum Wars, earning field promotions and decorations.

One long decade after Emergence Day, the Horde Army breached Jacinto Plateau's defenses and Marcus defied orders so he could save his father. He was too late, and in addition to losing his father, Marcus was charged with dereliction of duty and was sentenced to 40 years in Jacinto Maximum Security Penitentiary.[1] It's later shown that Marcus's father was mapping the underground tunnels of the Locust Horde (a detail integral to the plot of Gears of War), although it's never revealed whether Marcus was aware of how important his father's research was when he attempted to save him, or whether he specifically knew it related to the Locust Horde. Four years into his sentence, the Horde overtook the Jacinto | One long decade after Emergence Day, the Horde Army breached Jacinto Plateau's defenses and Marcus defied orders so he could save his father.

Four years into his sentence, the Horde overtook the Jacinto Penintentiary, but Marcus was rescued by his best friend, Dominic Santiago, so that he could join the fight against the Locust Horde Army. Marcus Fenix is 35 years old at the start of Gears of War. Marcus Fenix's design varied at several points in the development of Gears of War. It appears that at one time in development, he had a different appearance. Early game art and renders show that he was originally bald and did not have any facial hair. Popular voice actor Steven Jay Blum originally voiced Marcus Fenix in early build of the game, but was later replaced by John DiMaggio. DiMaggio is well known as the voice of the character Bender from the TV series Futurama. Marcus' final character model carries an Epic Games logo on his bandanna | ||

Dominic Santiago is a vocal, colorful and yet practical soldier. He's loyal to a fault, especially with his friends, and has no patience for those that think of themselves first. | Dominic Santiago is a vocal, colorful and yet practical soldier.

Dominic has always believed in his country and his leaders, but his faith has been slipping in the face of this endless war. Dom lost his wife in the Emergence Day cataclysm. For him, the fight against the Horde is deeply personal. | Dominic has always believed in his country and his leaders, but his faith has been slipping in the face of this endless war.

By testifying in Marcus' defense, Dom prevented an execution, but was forced to accept the heavy judgment the military tribunal handed down to his childhood friend. Never forgetting, Dom seized his first opportunity to save Marcus' life, and convinced Lieutenant Minh Young Kim to enlist Marcus into his squad. In the beginning of Gears of War, Dominic Santiago frees Marcus Fenix from the Jacinto Maximum Security Penitentiary under orders from Lieutenant Mihn Young Kim. The two characters begin the campaign trying to escape the prison, which is now overrun with Locust Horde. | By testifying in Marcus' defense, Dom prevented an execution, but was forced to accept the heavy judgment the military tribunal handed down to his childhood friend.

"Voted most likely to get shot" in the COG Academy (according to his multiplayer character description), Pvt. Carmine is a member of Delta Squad at the beginning of the game, along with Lt. Kim, Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. In battle Carmine will often rush out into the open, and has a gung-ho attitude. In Act 1, while standing up to complain about his Lancer rifle jamming, he is shot in the head by a Locust sniper. His face is never revealed and his character is underdeveloped resulting in him being a kind of throw-away character that is quickly forgotten once he dies | "Voted most likely to get shot" in the COG Academy (according to his multiplayer character description), Pvt.
