Master Sergeant Marian Bidwell was born in space and plans on dying in space. Both his parents were Marines for life, and he intends to do the same. He supplied falsified documents in order to join the Corps while still two years under the legal age limit. He's seen more war and death than most men twice his age, but Bidwell still loves the Marine Corps and all its traditions. The master sergeant can be extremely brutal during training. He knows the only way a Marine is going to survive under enemy fire is to train under extreme duress. More than a few Marines have been severely injured during exercises, but Bidwell will never lessen the training. Rhino squad is too important to allow anyone but the absolute best out onto the field.Bidwell is also assumed to be a sort of elite fighter.During the first visit on the Hannibal in the armory you can talk to a marine who will describe Bidwell as a machine because he was so perfect
Bidwell is killed by a Harvester during the assault on the Tetranode Hub. The Harvester attacks the EMP bomb truck, destroying it, and standing on and impaling bidwell with one of its legs in the process.
