Weston Meyers

Sergeant Wesley "Wes" Meyers was a Gear who served in the Coalition of Ordered Governments military during the conflicts with the Outsiders and the Swarm. Having grown up in the wake of the Locust War and Lambent Pandemic, Meyers was fascinated by the times preceding Emergence Day, as the world of pre-E-Day Sera seemed so foreign and fanciful compared to the world he knew. He grew up enthralled by the tales of heroism displayed by Gears during the Pendulum Wars and the Locust War, and he idolized those who put their lives on the line in service to the COG. However, his sister Charlotte was far less than enamored with the COG, viewing Gears as mindless brutes and believing that the last thing Sera needed was more soldiers, war, violence, and faceless bureaucracy, and as such ran away the safety of the city-states at the age of fifteen to join the Outsiders.

Meyers' ties to a traitor garnered him a fair amount of mistrust among his comrades when he finally joined the COG military on his eighteenth birthday, but Wesley worked hard to demonstrate his devotion and loyalty to the Coalition. However, Wesley worries about Charlotte, and hopes to find her and convince her to return to the COG.
