Biography

Pan Pacific Defense Corps.

After Coyote Tango is pulled from active duty in 2016 to undergo repairs and reinforcement to its radiation shielding, the Jaeger's original pilots, Stacker Pentecost and Tamsin Sevier, are retired from combat on grounds on radiation poisoning. When Coyote Tango is later reinstated for active duty, Gunnar and Vic are assigned as its new pilots.

On October 9, 2020, their first deployment is in Hawaii alongside the Mark-5 Jaeger Striker Eureka against the Kaiju Ceramander. The fight ends with their victory, earning Coyote Tango its second Kaiju kill. Two years later, on November 6, 2022, Gunnar and Vic are killed when Coyote Tango is destroyed in a Kaiju attack on St. Lawrence Island.[1]

Trivia

  • When asked about the fate of Coyote Tango, Travis Beacham confirmed that it was destroyed under the assignment of new pilots, but does not reference the pilots by name.[2]
