Did you notice a familiar twinkle in JD's eye when you first saw him in that Gears of War 4 trailer? Maybe a certain thickness about the neck and shoulders? Speculate no longer: Game Informer has revealed that the youthful soldier is the son of the great Marcus Fenix himself, while spilling more details about his companion Kait Diaz and unseen accomplice Delmont Walker.

Both JD and Del are longtime friends and former COG soldiers who went AWOL after a "classified incident", while Kait is a literal "Outsider", born and raised beyond the city state walls that protect most of the Locust War's human survivors. JD is voiced by Liam McIntyre, best known for his lead role in Starz's Spartacus series, Kait is portrayed by seasoned voice actress Laura Bailey, and Del Walker is played by Eugene Byrd, who you may remember as Andy Diggle in Arrow.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
