Melissa Herman's husband

"My husband is an Air Force pilot, and refers to fighter planes as 'angels'. When he'd go to a mission that kept him away from home, I'd tell him in frustration to go dance with his angels."

- Melissa Herman

Melissa Herman's husband was an unnamed Emmerian Air Force fighter pilot married to Melissa Herman. The two met at some point in their lives and eventually married, giving birth to their daughter Matilda. Both lived on their house in Gracemeria, from where they witnessed Ulysses 1994XF04's disintegration on July of 1999.

Accustomed to undertaking long-term missions, he used to call aircraft "angels", leading Melissa to sarcastically tell him to "dance with his angels". He flew an F/A-18F Super Hornet adorned with nose art of an angelic figure named after his wife.

In the opening of the Emmeria-Estovakia War, he was shot down during the Emmerian military's evacuation of Gracemeria. The remains of his jet were found by Melissa in a field while traveling with a group of refugees to west Emmeria, who recognized it by the angel on its side.
