Derek Reese

Lt. Derek Reese is a Resistance fighter in the 132nd 'Southland' Division.



Background
Derek Reese was born in 1995 and lived a mundane life in the suburbs of Los Angeles up until the advent of Judgement Day on April 21, 2011. Kyle Reese and Derek Reese witnessed the launch of U.S. missiles while playing baseball in their yard. Derek took his younger brother underground for safety before the counterstrike.

He grew to manhood while raising his younger brother in the post apocalyptic world Skynet ruled. Derek became the sole guardian and protector for his baby brother once the bombs fell. Orphaned on Judgment Day at age 15, Derek proceeded to raise his eight-year-old brother on his own and in a post apocalypse world until Kyle was captured and shipped to a Skynet concentration camp at age 12. Derek did not see his brother again until Kyle escaped with John Connor a full 6 years later when they broke out of a concentration camp.

By 2027, he was an active resistance fighter being a First Lieutenant with the 132nd S.O.C., living in a bunker with John Connor, and other resistance leaders. Derek became Kyle's commanding officer when they formed the military resistance unit the Four Horsemen.

Psychological Profile
Derek has spent more than half of his life living a desperate existence in savage landscape. With the loss of both parents during Judgement Day, Derek assumed guardianship of his brother and developed a fiercely protective relationship with Kyle, determined that his brother would survive no matter what. Battle hardened and emotionally disconnected, the only emotion Derek allows himself to feel is his love for his brother.

In some ways, that love is the only thing Derek believes makes him different from the machines.
