Hershel Lorenz

Private Hershel Lorenz was a Gear in the Coalition of Ordered Governments Armed Forces, where he fought in the last two years of the Pendulum Wars. When the UIR and COG agreed to a ceasefire, he, along with the entire army, was sent on leave. Six weeks later, whilst resting in his unit's barracks in the city of Helsmuth, a large series of tremors began, which opened up sinkholes all over the city. From these sinkholes emerged the Locust Horde, who began indiscriminately killing all they encountered. Gearing up with the rest of his unit, they were deployed to help hold back the horde so civilian evacuations could commence. While defending an important junction along with several other squads, Lorenz was dragged underground by an adolescent Corpser, where he was killed and presumably consumed by the Hollow creature. His COG tags were recovered by Corporal Donavan Kohl, who returned them to his family upon escaping the battle.
