History

Cannon is an agent of the Blue to the above world of humans.

For the Blue he is a Paladin of the Elite Council.

Blue Sun

Cannon and his assistant, Akiko, worked on the DMD to help keep the peace between the Japanese and American researchers, military, and governments involved in the DMD. However his true reasons were to watch the humans discoveries on anything that might allow them to discover his people, the Blue. There he met a young American marine biologist named Aspen Matthews, the long believed dead daughter of a deceased leader of the Blue. Cannon had been aware of her existence for several years, but choose to let her live among Humanity instead of bringing her back. However now was a troubled time. Humanity had unknowingly destroyed a city of the Blue with a hydrogen bomb testing, and had discovered one of their ships as well as one of their people, a man named Killian and built the DMD around the ship.
