Phobos (Quake series)

Phobos is one of three Doom space marine characters who first appears in id Software's, and reprises his role in. He uses the same model as the Doom character, but with a distinctive orange skin versus the normal neon green. He is described as follows: "An experienced veteran, he led the invasion of the demon-haunted tunnels of Phobos. There, he was betrayed by superiors who thought they could learn more from watching him die than by studying his reports."
