Griffin Stone is the leader of the 15th RAS, also known as NOIR. NOIR is a squad held in near mythical status by the earth forces, although not many know that it actually exists. Like his name suggests, Griffin is stone cold, often keeping his own team at arms length. Because of his history and skill, Griffin is often deployed solo on missions that don't require a full team, or on missions that require secrecy. An intelligent and cunning leader, Griffin has taken situations that would normally spell disaster and turn them into decisive victories.
