John Holt

Æsculapian John Holt is one of the psions fighting against the Aberrant forces on Khantze Lu Ge, as part of Strike Team Psion.

Background Information[]

Holt is both a character in the Strike Team Psion holosim airing on OBC, and also an actual Legionnaire fighting on Khantze Lu Ge. It's uncertain if this means that the holosim is based on a real group of people, or if the continuities of Trinity and Trinity: Battleground are different.
John Holt may be named after White Wolf artist Jeff Holt, who also designed the miniatures for Trinity: Battleground.
Holt's Battleground packaging lists his name as "Jon," while Trinity: Trinity Field Report: Media and Trinity: Shattered Europe: Psi Order Æsculapian & Europe Sourcebook calls him "John." While this may indicate that one is a fictionalized-for-TV version of the other, we've chosen to go with the latter spelling here.

- Holosim Character: John Holt
- Comments: Harden his eyes — this is action adventure, not soft drama. And remove the pistol from the final sim image. We don't want viewers thinking that Rexs shoot people. -- Chambers
