Captain Dave "Killer" Carlson is the leader of the first wave of Rangers at Santa Fe Springs.

Background[]

Captain Carlson assisted Captain Angela Deth in the initial sortie to Los Angeles. While she performed an overflight of Seal Beach, he stayed behind with a group of Rangers to secure the Santa Fe perimeter. Unfortunately, things went to hell fast. Nuke pooches swarmed through openings in the perimeter wall and ripped apart Team Foxtrot. By the time Team Echo arrives at the compound, Carlson is the only one left and even he is rapidly bleeding out.
