"Better make yourselves comfortable. It's a long ride back to Earth."

—Shepard.

Shepard is Whiskey Company's dedicated technician and one of the few members of Whiskey with knowledge of piloting. He makes a supporting appearance during the events of Turok.

History

Shepard would be present during Cole's debriefing of Roland Kane and Whiskey Company's mission on the terraformed planet. Following the ship's destruction and crash landing, Shepard would be one of the survivors, and would remain at the main crash site. As Joseph Turok, Slade, and Reese arrived, he would give Slade an ESUS Fireblade flamethrower, and would be seen listening into later conversations about current affairs. At some point during this timeframe, Shepard would assist Alpha Team in escaping Mother Superior by helicopter.

Shepard would be visibly distraught with the destruction of the comms unit following Mendel-Gruman's attack on their camp, and would later be angrily reprimanded by Logan. He would then eventually move out of the area with Logan, Reese, Cowboy, and Jericho, with the group finding Turok and Slade later. The group would later fall under siege by an MG convoy, with Shepard splitting off with Jericho and Turok in an attempt to breach an abandoned MG facility nearby. Shepard would confide in Turok that he thought the mission would've been easy, compared to what was happening. However, in spite of losing Jericho, the two would regroup with the rest of Whiskey, only to have their hopes dashed as the ship they sought was destroyed, to Shepard's dismay.

An attack by a helicopter would split the group again, forcing Shepard and Turok to brave a volcanic landscape and a new deadly insect enemy to reach Cowboy, Slade, and Reese at the foot of an MG base. As John Grimes targeted and killed Reese, Shepard would scream his name, and he would join the remnants of Whiskey in storming the massive complex. Eventually, he and the others would be captured as Turok planted C-4 on the base's generator's walls, and he would subsequently escape with Turok and Slade as the C-4 detonated and sent the base into a meltdown. The final three would encounter multiple rogue insects and dinosaurs, along with scrambling Mendel personnel, before coming across an undamaged Type 07 Starship, with Shepard and Slade quickly boarding.

Turok, still not content, stated his intent to stay behind, and Shepard along with Slade would eventually return to rescue him after the latter killed both Kane and Mama Scarface. With their mission complete, the three would prepare for the long journey home.
