John Glayde is a soldier in the Rebel Alliance SpecForce, who formerly served as a Scout Trooper, Jump Trooper and Storm Commando in the Imperial Army. He previously commanded a Platoon of SpecForce Rangers assigned to the Star Cruiser Valiant, but now serves as a member of a special SpecForce unit.

History
The son of a veteran police officer on Corellia, John was not the only son of Verton and Kitara: his younger sister Sora died at a young age. As a means of coping with the loss, Glayde adopted her childhood best friend - Selinica - as a surrogate of sorts.

Glayde was raised to actively question the validity of everything, and accept nothing. Glayde's father was deeply sceptical of the Empire, but also considered the 'terrorist' actions of the Rebels to be abhorant. Unfortunately for his father, Glayde chose to use the Empire as the outlet for his teenage rebellion: he enrolled in the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps straight out of school at sixteen, and serving originally as a basic Stormtrooper in a local garrison. This alienated for his father and, aside from a few token communications the two never reconsiled; Verton and Kitara were both killed in 4 BE after retiring to Alderaan.

After reaching eighteen - as soon as he was old enough to legally operate a speeder - he applied for reassignment as a Scout Trooper. He served there for years, and eventually went on to become a Sergeant within his unit, leading the four-man biker unit known as a Lancer. Longing for greater thrills and excitement from his work however, Glayde took the logical step of progressing into the Jump Troopers: soldiers trained as high altitude paratroopers to be deployed behind enemy lines. He spent a distinguished tour with the Jump Troopers, until his unit was completely devastated on a mission: according to official records none survived, but Glayde was one of two who did live through the battle. Officially declared dead, he was offered a classified new assignment, as a Storm Commando.

Though Glayde was a formidable commando, he lacked an essential component to make him truely effective; or rather, he didn't lack a sense of morals. Finding the orders he was being given increasingly questionable, he began to question his Imperial masters as his father had taught him, and after the destruction of Alderaan he eventually chose to defect, fleeing his unit and joining up with the Rebel Alliance. Knowing his status as a Storm Commando could make his fellows uncomfortable with him he kept the specifics of his missing years secret from most, and instead emphasised his other skills. He joined SpecForce as a member of a 2nd Regiment "Pathfinders" unit, initially as a Sergeant; but after his former commander was killed, he was made a Lieutenant and appointed to replace him. He was later stationed aboard the Cruiser Valiant.

After several years with the Rebellion, Glayde - a Captain at the time - was approached by Colonel Sogan Dalgas to form a new SpecForce team to bridge the gap between SpecForce and SpecOps: the unit eventually evolved into Dorn Force and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, and Glayde became one of the leaders within it.
