Gun Lambton

Gun Lambton
Gun Lambton is the protagonist of Project Infinity.

Early Life
Born on March 17, 2237 in Royal City (which was known as Moscow), Gun is the son of Apolline Lambton and Val Winthrop. According to his childhood friend Violet Stanhope, he was always with his mother. He lived on the same street as Violet and her sister Elise. When Gun was five years old, his neighborhood was raided by Union soldiers which resulted in his mother's death. Gun was transferred to a boys' concentration camp not far from Royal City.

2254 through present
The main story of the web series begins in the year 2254 when Gun Lambton is 17 years old. After noticing that boys in his concentration camp disappear after turning 18 years old, he decides to escape. He draws up a plan on the dirt floor of his cell and proceeds to causing a flood in the showers to create a distraction. The guards watching him work in a field then leave long enough for him to head towards the front gate. Gun tells his cell mate Dylan he has noticed a supply truck makes deliveries at the same time every month. During this time, the front gate will be open for Gun to make a run for it. Gun successfully makes it to the outside of the camp's front gate, but Dylan is shot down by guards. It is then that Gun stumbles upon a Fighter Bot which he uses to fly far away from the camp.

Afterwards, Gun encounters the Rebels hiding out in a forest. He is recruited as a Rebel and begins attending Acland Academy under the alias Morris Guthrie. Throughout the first half of the season, a L.I.A. saves him from death on more than one occasion. Eventually, she confronts him and tells Gun she is programmed to protect and defend him at all costs. Gun continues attending Acland Academy until episode 8 when he and the Rebels leave to conduct a rescue mission for the soon to be executed Princess Annabelle. During this mission, Gun learns that Val Winthrop is his father, and he has programmed the first generation L.I.A. to protect him. This causes Gun great distress and confusion.

The Rebels, having rescued the Princess, set up base on an island in the South Pacific and began to prepare for a battle with the Union. Gun is chosen to pilot the super fighter Gallagher. One evening, Josephine helps Gun work through his distress and shares a kiss with him. Afterwards, he and Josephine are taken to his Aunt Calanthe's secret laboratory on an island nearby. She tells him she thinks he could be the key to everything.

During the grand battle with the Union, Gun skillfully flies Gallagher and cripples the Union's forces. However, he freezes when Val confronts him in a Fighter Bot. Val pushes for Gun to surrender, but Gun refuses. He is overcome with emotion and recalls his mother wishing he could live in a world of compassion and understanding for others. Morris pilots a Gallagher prototype and attempts to rescue Gun from Val's gunfire. Octavia fires at him and causes his Fighter to explode. Morris's sudden death leads Gun to fire uncontrollably in all directions. This overloads Gallagher's engine, and it begins to fall. Gun crashes onto a Union carrier ship and is joined by Val. Val explains how he loved Apolline and even warned her about the oncoming raid on her neighborhood. Val suggests that something could be arranged even if no one can know Gun is his son. However, Harrison shoots Val before their conversation can go further. Gun pleads for Val to stay alive. Val asks Gun to prevent Calanthe's project from succeeding and to fight for peace. He also orders L.I.A. to protect Gun and do as he says. Gun takes Val's earpiece before fleeing the scene in the now functioning Gallagher.

Afterward on an island, Gun tells Josephine he believes his mother spoke to him during the battle. Her words are what kept him from killing Val. He believes they can find a middle ground of keeping order in the world while keeping his mother's wish in mind.

Relationships
While attending Acland Academy, Gun dates a girl named Lettie Dale. This is short-lived, however, after he learns she is responsible for snitching on Josephine to Conner. After this, he says, "I never realized how stupid she actually is."

Gun and Josephine butt heads early in the series. She is skeptical of his loyalties and looks down on him for his selfishness. However, she comforts him when he cries about his mother's death. After Gun saves her from her family, Josephine becomes very depressed and even attempts to kill herself. Gun comes to her rescue once again and makes her promise she will fight with him. After this, the two become much closer. In episode 11, Josephine comforts a distressed Gun and assures him he isn't evil. The two kiss and unofficially get together from this point on.

Personality and Characteristics
Gun Lambton is very intelligent. By himself, he planned the escape from his concentration camp and succeeded. He also has natural skills with piloting Fighter Bots - something considered very rare. He is cunning and can play people as seen when he poses as Morris Guthrie at Acland Academy. While using this false identity, his personality changes drastically, and he is very kind and positive. This act is something he calls "exhausting."

Gun is quite volatile. He can have sudden outbursts of strong emotion and often has difficulty controlling them. He cries openly and is highly reactive. Ever since his mother was killed, he has had an intense fear of death. He is sometimes very selfish. When one of the Rebels' team members sent out a distress signal, Gun initially refuses to take part in the rescue mission claiming "he's not about to risk his life for someone I don't even know." On the other hand, it seems he is willing to help those he cares about. He saved Josephine after she was trapped in a room filled with poisonous gas by her father.

He can often come off irritable and intense, but there is also a warm and more laid back side to him. This side is usually only seen by those closest to him. It can be assumed the majority of his emotional distress stems from the loss of his mother as a child. His love for her is what consistently drives him to find Val.

Gun has light blonde hair and blue eyes. Despite sharing many physical characteristics of his mother, he says she always told him he looked just like his father. He is handsome and was immediately admired by the female students at Acland Academy.
