Shams Couza

Pilot of the Verde Buster, and member of the Earth Alliance special forces unit Phantom Pain. Shams lost his parents at a young age. Taken in by a Blue Cosmos-run care facility, he was ingrained with anti-Coordinator beliefs, and underwent harsh training to become a soldier. He is sarcastic, foulmouthed, and prone to looking at things cynically, but also has enough social skills to avoid making more enemies than necessary. He does his best to mingle with other less-celebrated soldiers. A member of an esteemed group of non-Extended pilots who have received no mental conditioning or physical modifications, he became blinded with anti-Coordinator rage after witnessing his comrade Mudie Holcroft die in combat.
