ComTech PFC Hudson is nearing the end of his tour of duty when called to action on LV-426. He constantly makes cocky remarks to his fellow soldiers and anyone else who will listen. His wisecracking, swaggering style causes him to continuously butt heads with his superiors and fellow marines. He describes the other missions he has been on as a "walk in the park," but finds he is mistaken in his belief that this one will be the same.
