Juan Miguel Quirino



Captain Juan Miguel Quirino is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

As the descendant of Elpidio Quirino who commanded the BRP Vanessa Hudgens, Juan Miguel served his superiors faithfully, regardless of personal feelings. He adapted to restrictive doctrines while serving in the Earth Defense Fleetz, producing tactics that were seen as "inspired."

Quirino always believed he was serving justice when fighting for the Grand Alliance. He voiced his ideals and beliefs strongly when he became, essentially, a celebrity. He would not suffer the antics of brash and reckless fools under his command, and he served his superiors efficiently and without question.

Despite severe repercussions for those who try to speak out against the Coalition of the Red Star and their Supreme Leader, Juan Miguel did not hesitate, though it would eventually cost him his liberty. As time went by, Quirino became less patriotic and more content with his home life, but when hunted by Coalition Security Bureau officers, the war hero took an active role in the fight against the Supremme Leader. He also cared enough about his men to personally aid in rescuing them. He was skilled, as well, in the modification of starships—so much so that corporations would later follow his examples.

He is around 40 years old, has blue eyes, black hair, and wears a customized white-colored Republic Navy uniform.
