Walden Briggs was a terran marine sergeant in Zeta Squad. He was known for having a great poker face, and had little patience for Hendrix's jokes. Briggs was considered very loyal to the Terran Dominion. He believed the terrans needed a leader like Arcturus Mengsk more than they needed civil liberties and despised the "rabble rousers" and "terrorists" who stood against him. He preferred to see things in black and white as "it was much easier that way."
