Colonel John Luft Walther is a high-ranking Airforce veteran of several wars, and currently the director of the Ultra Corps. Program.

Early Life and Teenage Years
Colonel John Luft Walther was born on August 1st, 2289, in the City of Cleveland on Earth. He was raised as a modest young man, but eventually gained a strong opinion, and became a great speaker. In fact, at the age of 14, he was able to convince an entire senate to rethink a law about minors going into space. In 2305, tragedy struck, when him and his family where on vacation on Imperium, a group of rebels shot down many of his relatives, and a large amount of others, but luckily his parents and siblings survived. Later after learning that these same people were working for the Ferrus Insurgency, who caused the Ferrus-Magma wars, he decided to join the airforce.



Career and the Ultra Corps. Program
During the Ferrus-Magma Wars, he earned more medals than any other soldier, Airforce, Marine, or Army. When the war was over, in 2309, he was offered a scholarship at the prestigious college, The Orion University of Architecture. In 2314, he graduated with a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering. In 2316, he began working for a major military supplier, known as Galileo Aerospace Production/Manufacturing(GAPM). There he worked as an engineer, primarily working on next-generation jets and Spaceships. He worked there until 2327, when the first Dust-Gulf War began, and he once again joined the airforce. Throughout the Dust-Gulf war, he once again broke records, and continued to impress his superiors. In 2331, he met Axl Bass, and learned of the REACH Corps. child augmentations, and the early plans for the Ultra Corps. He was asked to be the director of it, and he accepted. He helped with everything, from the name, the training, and even selecting members. In 2335, he retired from the Airforce, and put his full attention on the Ultra Corps program. Then, the only members were the children kidnapped by REACH Corps., and left with no family. So Walther decided to select new members from across the Military. By 2340, the program was near completion, and the program was revealed to the rest of humanity, bringing Civil Uproar, due to the "Inhumane" augmentations, and Walther stepped out of the program for a bit, leaving the Director of Science, Richter Mellow, in charge. However, the uproar didn't last long, and in 2342 Walther took his position back.
