Master Sergeant Marian Bidwell is the twenty eight year old Rhino Squad second-in-command and drill instructor from La Grange Point, Space Station McKinley.

Biography

Bidwell, born in space and to parents both of which were marines, joined the Space Marine Corps illegally by falsifying a document to join two years under the legal age limit. During his career, Bidwell had been involved in extensive amounts of war and destruction without losing morale.

Stroggos

On Stroggos, Bidwell is found at the trenches near a Strogg anti-aircraft gun with Nikolai "Sledge" Sledjonovitch. During Operation: Advantage, he helps Scott Voss, Dell Morris and Cpl. Matthew Kane secure the door controls and later, secure the detonation position. While guarding the EMP bomb truck, Rhino Squad is attacked by a Harvester and Bidwell is impaled through the chest by one of the Harvester's legs. His death causes Voss and Morris to temporarily pause in grief.
