General Gavin G. Farlain is a decorated general of the Armed Republic of Costa Bravo's Ground Forces, the basic Army branch of that country's complexly-structured military. He fought as a Major in the Eugenics War, and quickly gained ranks, fighting at Tortuga and participating in holding the defensive line at the Janeiro Canal for twenty-eight days before the eventual Dakkland breakthrough. He was awarded the Medal of Honor and Medal of Valor after the war, for his role in defeating Dakkland at Tortuga: leading a bayonet charge which disrupted a battalion of entrenched Dakkland soldiers, along with the prevention of Dakkland soldiers from destroying the Citadel. He was promoted to General shortly thereafter.
