Forced from the beginning of his life to live with the life and death of friends and neighbors around him, he grew up colder then most knowing that each day may be his last.  It was there on Mars that he became a man, and there that he lost his childhood.On Mars he met and worked with various groups, and even acquainting himself with members of Free Mars. Yet, it was days before he was to take up a mission on their behalf, the battle with the Minbari began. Feeling a sense of purpose he joined with the Earth Force, hoping to become a pilot within the fleet.Yet, such was not his lot and upon entrance to Earth Force they placed him in the ground forces. Training was quick and painful, but soon he forgot of his dreams of flying and instead became a ground pounder specializing in combat atop vehicles.Just a few short months later he and his squadron were moved to join the front. Quickly he was shuttled away toward Io where the attack had already begun. Yet as the ships arrived nothing remained, all destroyed in a matter of minutes. Returning with the others for Earth, Geoff shuddered at the thought of his lost Mars, for good or bad, it was his home. However, when they arrived back the War of the Line had ended and Minbari had surrendered to Earth.Over the next several years he was posted to Mars and Orion 4, where his skills were used and sometimes forgotten, for although he was a hard worker, he did what was only required of him and little more. Most simply looked over him for he was not the best nor the worst, only mediocre. In the end he decided to choose a new place, for the Mars that he knew was changing too much, it was now worse then ever he saw it. It was then when offered a chance to transfer to Babylon 5 that he took it, to get away from the chaos and carnage that was all around him.Arriving at Babylon 5 he was stationed as a low level security guard. Occasionally he went on patrol with others, but often left to watch over the holding cells when the drunk or disorderly were brought in. There he lived a forgotten life like he always did for even though he found friends, felt welcome, and did his job he never stood out never was the one all came to, never the hero. It was there often after his shift he would sit all alone in the night looking out to the stars, wondering if there was something more for him, wondering what else lay out there in the great unknown, wondering what more he could have been, wondering why he was never seen.</blockquote>
