Personal Notes: The first 5 years of his life as a slave in the uranium mines, due to a law that made in-vitroes responsible for the cost of their creations and births. Due to high natural born casualties at the beginning of the Artificial Intelligence war, McQueen was drafted into the Marine Corp in-vitro platoons due at the end of his five-year servitude. He was originally a munitions handler assigned to Port Riskin. It was during this time he was brought up on Court Marshal charges for striking a superior (charges that carried a death sentence). The Commander, knowing the reasons behind his actions (the Sergeant had locked 27 in-vitroes into the burning bunker and McQueen was trying to get them out) lowered the charges and he was sentenced to 120 days in solitary confinement. He was transferred to combat soon after were he exiled. Rising through the ranks, if at a slower pace than his natural born counter parts despite many acts of bravery, and being held and tortured by the A.I. Becoming a pilot, he earned a place on the elite squadron the 127th Angry Angels becoming their executive officer. At the beginning of the Alien War during the first battle the 127th was decimated, leaving McQueen the only surviving member, and with burns over 20% of his body. An inner ear imbalance requiring the implant of an M.E.F. device left his flying status as Grounded for Arial combat. For his heroic actions in that battle he was promoted to Lt. Colonel and given the command of the newly from 58th Squadron.

With the help of the teachings of eastern philosophy applied to his life and combat, he has gotten through a marriage and divorced, had two bouts with addiction to Phyllophetamines (Green Meanies) painkillers, as well as dealing daily racial prejudices. He has taken control of his demons to lead "His Kids," forging a father/son relation-ship with Cooper Hawkes, a young in-vitro pilot under his command. Guarded and aloof he counts Commodore Glen Ross among his few trusted friends.

McQueen has a passion for reading, writing, painting and silent movies.
