===Wardog/Razgriz Squadron=== ====Blaze==== The lead pilot of the famous Wardog/Razgriz squadrons, Blaze shows skill on a level unseen during the Circum-Pacific War and above the level of other legendary aces. Not much information is ever learned of Blaze's personal stance on the war, however it seems likely he shares a viewpoint close to that of his fellow wingmen. After the Circum-Pacific War, the Razgriz Squadron composed of Blaze, Kei Nagase, Marcus Snow, and Hans Grimm, have vanished without a trace. The epilogue shows that many people compare them to the long-lost Wardog squadron, but the only official reports were of them being shot down. ====Kei Nagase==== ''Voice Actor'': [[Jessica Straus]] (US AC5), [[Wakana Yamazaki]] (JP) The only trainee in Wardog squadron out of those who flew with Captain Bartlett during the opening battle of the Circum-Pacific War to survive the surprise attack by hostile forces, Nagase holds the position of Wardog 2, although briefly holds the position of Wardog 1 in some missions.<ref>Narrow Margin (at start), Four Horsemen, Journey Home</ref> Nagase is a strong believer in peace, joining Osea's Air Defence Force in an effort to keep it. She is also the only female pilot in the Wardog Squadron. When war breaks out, her skill in battle earns the attention of troops on both sides, until her squadron's apparent treachery and subsequent destruction; however, unknown to military and government officials, she and the rest of her squadron survives with the help of the OFS ''Kestrel'' and her fleet and take up a new allegiance to a group of joint Osean and Yuktobanian resistance forces in an attempt to end and uncover the truth about the conflict. At this point the team become the lead squadron of these rebels and were nicknamed 'the Ghosts of Razgriz'. Throughout the war, Nagase blames herself for the loss of her captain's aircraft and his disappearance. In a POW rescue operation, upon attempting to locate Jack Bartlett (Wardog Squadron's former captain) she was shot down in the same manner as she would have been had Bartlett not rescued her. Her guilt is later reduced when they learn of his survival and efforts in helping the Resistance end the war in Yuktobania. =====Nagase in other games===== Nagase appears in other Ace Combat games, making her one of the few characters to appear in more than one game, and the character with the most appearances in the series. A female pilot named Kei Nagase appears in ''Ace Combat 2'' using her same callsign, Edge; however, since AC2 likely takes place in 1998, this Nagase cannot be the same as the one in AC5, which takes place in 2010, since in AC5 she is still a trainee. In ''Ace Combat 4'', a woman on board an airliner calls herself "Nagase." Finally, Nagase appears in the Japanese version of ''Ace Combat 3'', in a cutscene, showing that she joined Ouroboros. It is notable that in Ace Combat 3, she looks exactly how she would look in 2049. ====Alvin H. Davenport==== ''Voice Actor'': [[Eddie Frierson]] (US AC5), [[Hideo Ishikawa]] (JP) Talkative, confident and energetic (hence his callsign), Davenport strongly admired Captain Bartlett as a bad mouthed, good natured Captain, and was doubtful of Blaze when he takes over as squadron leader; however in time "Chopper" comes to respect Blaze just as much. Chopper's nature makes light on difficult situations and acts as the comic relief of the Wardog Squadron. In a planned attack on the November City stadium by Yuktobanian forces, Chopper's aircraft is badly damaged. After holding it in the air while civilians are evacuated Chopper is unable to eject, becoming the first and only member of the Wardog Squadron to be killed since the initial attack on Sand Island. Chopper technically becomes the highest ranking Wardog squadron member after receiving a posthumous 2-rank promotion. ====Hans Grimm==== ''Voice Actor'': [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] (US AC5), [[Kenji Nojima]] (JP) Although not an actual member of Wardog for the opening events of the Circum-Pacific War, and apparently not finishing the replacement pilot training course, Grimm joins the squadron soon after Sand Island is again attacked by the Yuktobanian Air Force. Grimm is the youngest and most inexperienced of the team, and seems reasonably unsure of himself. However, he has a strong motivation to help end the war with as few casualties as possible. Over the course of the war, Grimm's piloting skills dramatically improve and "Archer" easily becomes on par with the rest of the squadron (with the exception of Blaze) and handles his missions without sustaining major damage to his aircraft. His unnamed brother is a member of the Osean ground forces (the 1st Airborne Division), and is involved in the landing on Bastok Peninsula (Operation: Footprint). ====Marcus Snow==== ''Voice Actor'': [[Beau Billingslea]] (US AC5), [[Kenji Nomura]] (JP) For the first half of the war, Capt. Snow is one of the highest-ranking members of the Osean Maritime Defense Force on the Kestrel and leader of its fighter squadron. The Japanese official Ace Combat 5 website mentions him being captain of the 206th Strike Fighter Squadron. During the course of the war, his wingmen are shot down and eventually he becomes the only active fighter pilot on the Kestrel. After the apparent rebellion of the famous Wardog squadron, Captain Andersen (possibly by the request of Pops) sends Snow to falsify the deaths of Wardog before sending the Sea Goblin Marine Force to rescue them off the coast of Solo Island. Using captured aircraft from South Belka's Gründer Industries, "Swordsman" joins the team in a mission to the Waldreich Mountains to rescue Vincent Harling, President of the Osean Federation who had been captured beforehand. After the operation, the makeshift squadron is named 'Ghosts of Razgriz' with Snow permanently taking the position of Razgriz 3. It is interesting to note that although Capt. Snow is of a relatively higher rank than the rest of the Razgriz Squadron members (Naval Captain is a higher rank than Air Force Captain), Snow does not take command of the squadron despite having plenty of combat experience as a squadron leader. This is, of course, providing that the Wardog survivors did not become part of the Naval Air Arm. However, it is more likely a mix-up of ranks, as in the Japanese dub, Snow is referred to as Tai-i, the equivalent of a Lieutenant in the Navy.
