Edison Trent

Edison Trent was born in Bretonia, but left for the Border Worlds to make his fortune. After making a deal over a tonne of Boron, Trent traveled to Freeport 7, which was soon destroyed by unknown forces. After landing on Manhattan with the other survivors, Trent met Jun'ko Zane and was recruited by her to assist the Liberty Security Force. After several successful missions, they were chased out of Liberty and headed for Bretonia, where they promptly began to search for a man called Quintaine.

Eventually, Quintane was found and Trent headed to Kusari in order to steal an important Daam K'Vosh artifact, the Proteus Tome. Once he had infiltrated Heaven's Gate, Trent and his companion Ozu were incapacitated by a trap and bought before Governor Tegaki. Tegaki then displayed superhuman powers and it was revealed he was under the influence of a Nomad. Ozu died in the confrontation. Trent then headed to the Rheinland in order to destroy a number of prototype battleships. Once this task had been completed, Trent returned to Liberty as a fugitive. Together with a squadron of Order members, he then infiltrated the Alaska System and rescued President Jacobi from the clutches of the Nomad-possessed Chancellor Niemann.

Once Jacobi was safe, Trent, on board the Osiris, headed to a secret Order base within the Edge Nebula from where several strikes were launched upon Nomad strongholds, the last of these being through the alien Jump Gate and to where the Nomads' Dyson Sphere was situated. Once inside, Trent activated the artifact retrieved from Syd, causing the Nomads to be removed from Sirius. Once Trent returned to Liberty he was given a full pardon by Jacobi.
