BACKGROUND
====================
The son of filtration/ventilation engineers, Tristan grew up in the sheltered communities of Bahram Vallis, a region settled by large numbers of Korean and Iranian engineers back on Earth. Like most Martians, his talents were expected to further either the planet's terraforming projects or the military to keep a predatory Earth at bay. As someone with a keen eye for patterns and a strong social intuition, Tristan attended the Ares Military Academy and accepted a commission as a military intelligence officer attached to the 36th Expeditionary Engineers, a combat engineer battalion operating in the Belt.

While working in the Belt, Tristan found himself sympathetic to their plight--a people without a planet, subject to all the physical ailments of a lifetime spent in low-to-no gravity environments and subjected to relentless political and economic exploitation. As an analyist Lt. Seong became a vocal proponent of a strategic rebalancing towards the Belt, allowing Mars to counter the seemingly insurmountable advantages in food production Earth possessed. Unfortunately this view found little favor with most in the Martian Navy, who saw skirmishes with Belter pirates as a route to promotion and who argued that Mars had no resources to spare for the Belt. After being passed over for promotions a few times, Tristan got the message and accepted an honorable discharge.

He spent the next several years working as a consultant for the Haoma Group, an NGO focused on economic development in the Belt. Unfortunately, last year the Haoma Group folded as sources of funding dried up, and Tristan has been spinning his wheels for a few months, not sure what to do next. Like the rest of humanity, he was shocked and horrified by the events of Eros, struggling to come to grips with the enormity of the change the Protomolecule signifies.
