Miles Quaritch⁷

Miles Quaritch looks and acts like a seasoned soldier: he respects authority and brute force, and therefore views the inhabitants of Pandora—any creature, whether it crawls, flies, or sits in the mud—as mere environmental hazards that must be exterminated. Consequently, he considers the Na'vi to be mere savages, though he acknowledges their hunting skills: in his first encounter with the newcomers, he mentions their neurotoxin-laced arrows and bones reinforced with natural carbon fiber: "They're very difficult to kill."

His long military career has had a significant impact on the colonel's personality: he cannot tolerate weakness, so on Pandora he practices weightlifting to stay in shape and prevent muscle atrophy. Despite his age, he is in excellent physical condition: he can hold his breath for extended periods without an exoskeleton and is an excellent controller of his personal UMP, demonstrating superior skills in close-quarters, long-range, and melee combat.

Despite his ferocity and cruelty, Quaritch treats his men well: he keeps his promises and praises them for their successes. They seemingly respect him as their leader, though even in their first encounter, he frankly warns them that he cannot save them all. However, even the civilian staff at the base respect the stern colonel, and despite his violent takeover of Hellgate, his men followed him into battle for the Tree of Souls. After his rebirth as a recommissioner, Quaritch largely retained his old character, but in some instances, he acted with more leniency than his predecessor, such as sparing Tsahik Ta'unui's life at Spider's request or freeing Kiri when Neytiri threatened her son's life. Furthermore, during the torture session, while General Ardmore was trying to extract Jake's whereabouts from the boy, Quaritch interrupted the procedure, and they traveled together for the next few months.

Before serving on Pandora, Quaritch had seen plenty of combat on Earth: he says he served in the First Reconnaissance [1] several years before Jake, and went through "three battles in Nigeria and not a scratch." But everything changed on Pandora: on his first day, he encountered a werewolf and received three deep gashes that ripped across the right side of his head.

Quaritch managed to survive the predator's attack, and the scars became, in a way, proof of all the dangers that awaited newcomers on this perilous moon. Upon returning to Earth, the colonel planned to have his face altered with plastic surgery, but he had no intention of leaving the service anytime soon and, after some time, due to his numerous merits, he was promoted to commander of the Security Service.

Facial and head features

Ears: Set noticeably lower on the head than those of typical Na'vi (the earlobe is closer to human ear level, not eye level). This is one of the key differences between the Rekom and the native inhabitants of Pandora.

Tactical Equipment: He uses weapons and armor adapted to the Recom body (including underwater weaponry in the reef scenes).

Spider (Miles Socorro) - Biological son.

Although he rarely admits it, he ends up developing a protective bond with him.

Colonel Miles Quaritch

Leader of the Recom squadron and a veteran of the GDR. A brilliant, disciplined, and authoritarian strategist, he is accustomed to having his orders obeyed without question. His presence commands respect, and he rarely allows his emotions to influence his decisions. He is observant, intelligent, and extremely persistent; when he sets a goal, he doesn't stop until he achieves it. Although he usually maintains a cool and controlled demeanor, he does not tolerate indiscipline or any questioning of his authority, especially within his own squadron.

Lyle Wainfleet

Quaritch's right-hand man and one of the most experienced recommissioners. Joking, confident, and somewhat reckless, he usually maintains a good sense of humor even on the most dangerous missions. He is loyal to the colonel and enjoys teasing his comrades, though he knows how to get serious when the situation demands it. He is not afraid to confront anyone and is usually the first to jump into action.

Fike

Disciplined, calm, and highly observant. He prefers to analyze before acting and rarely speaks out of turn. He is efficient in combat and excels at keeping a cool head under pressure. Although not very expressive, he is always aware of his surroundings.

Lopez

Reserved and professional. He performs his tasks with precision and avoids unnecessary conflicts. He has a patient nature and is usually one of the easiest to work with in the squad, though he never neglects his duties.

Prager

Strong, resilient, and a man of few words. He's a straightforward soldier who trusts more in actions than words. He likes to solve problems quickly and effectively, but outside of combat, he displays a relaxed attitude and a rather dry sense of humor.

Yeah

Young, curious, and more expressive than the rest of the squad. Although he follows Quaritch's orders without question, he still retains a certain enthusiasm for discovering Pandora and everything around it. He often asks questions and is more sociable with his comrades.

They all respect Quaritch's authority and function as a disciplined team during missions. However, outside of combat, their personalities constantly clash: Wainfleet tends to joke around with everyone, Prager responds sarcastically, López tries to maintain order, Fike observes silently, and Ja is the most curious about everything that happens around him.
