Dustin Krieger is the Secretary-General of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps.[1][2]
Biography[]
As Secretary-General, Dustin Krieger serves as the principal administrator of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. He also acted as Stacker Pentecost's commanding officer during the latter's two-year career as a Ranger.[2]
After the Category II Kaiju Onibaba is killed by the Jaeger Coyote Tango during its attack on Tokyo, Japan in 2016, Pentecost and his partner Tamsin Sevier (Coyote Tango's pilots) are both retired on the basis of radiation poisoning, leading Krieger to promote Pentecost to the rank of PPDC Marshal.[2]
Inconsistencies[]
- Pacific Rim: The Official Movie Novelization writes his name as Krieger, while Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters writes it as Kreiger, reversing the e and the i. The German surname "Krieger" means "mercenary soldier," derived from the German word, "krieg" for war.
