Norman O'Connor is a former Navy officer who currently is passing the LSF AiT training programme.
The family and the early years
Norman was born on planet Los Angeles, California system, on the 22nd of October, 790 A.S. His father Jack O'Connor was one of the officers of the LPI, and his mother Emilie Stewart was working for Ageira Technologies. Norman spent his entire childhood near the starport. When O'Connor was 14, his father started to teach him flying smaller craft, and after a couple years of practice Norman colud the ship good enough to acquire pilot's license. At the age of 18 he decided to join the Liberty Navy. Thus he could serve his country and not follow his father's footsteps. Maybe he wanted to prove that he could ahcieve something on his own. Perhaps we shall never know it.
Once Norman joined the Liberty Navy, he had to pass a course of intensive trainings, including ground melee and ranged combat, zero-gravity combat, etc. He also passed advanced West Point flying training. That allowed him to acquire a ship of his own, the Executioner VHF. After several successful flights he was promoted and got officer rank. That allowed him to enter additional courses and apply for a position on a capital vessel of the Liberty Navy. At the officer's courses he met several people, who would become his friends later: Brian Scott and Kyle Cross. They all passed their final tests successfully and were accepted to serve onboard LNS-Guard of Justice.

The LSF Secondary Division
The "Guard of Justice" was one of the most shadowy projects of the Liberty Government. Nobody knows the true reason for the decomissioning of that ship. Whatever the reason was, the crew splitted up. Some people continued to serve in the Navy, others decided to quit (of course, they had to sign "non-disclosure agreements"). The last group consisted of people, who moved to the different branches of the Liberty Armed Forces. Norman O'Connor and Brian Scott were one of those who joined the LSF. Their Navy training helped them a lot, since the programme met almost all the LSF's requirements. They started working together, but after one of the assignments Brian Scott was declared M.I.A. That's why O'Connor had to work alone for some time.
During his Secondary Division work he managed to participate in several Primary Division operations. The first operation was a deep reconnaissance raid led by "Hansen", the agent of the Primary Division. Anna 'Cookie' Lee also participated. Unfortunately for O'Connor, the raid ended up with his Guardian's engines overheating. The ship's self destruction system was activated, and O'Connor returned from Munich to Liberty in the escape pod.
Further operations were more successful, although many reports are now classified.
The Primary Division
O'Connor applied for the Primary Division and got accepted as AiT. That was only the beginning of the true LSF work. At his second flight Norman got into some real trouble. He encountered a man who believed he was the Embassador of Slomon K'Hara. Although at first Norman considered him just another madman, he started doubting it when the "madman" led him to the Nomad Mindnode located in California. Attempt to destroy it on one's own would be a certain death for sure. But O'Connor wasn't alone. He managed to bring some reinforcements to California, and the final confrontation took place near the system's sun. O'Connor made it out alive, but after that encounter he often uses painkillers. Some people say that he had been sedative-addicted before that, but no one can prove it. The rumours of him being cardamine-addicted also have no soil.
Traits of character
O'Connor is one of those who prefers peaceful solutions, although he understands that sometimes agressive measures must be taken. He's not the one to engage the enemy on sight. But unless the diplomatic solution is available, he will not hesitate to go to "more agressive" negotiations. He is usually fair-minded and has his own point of view about "military honour". E.g., he doesn't engage the enemy if someone is already engaged and the odds are even. He usually remains calm and level-headed, although there are some exceptions.
