well, you can actually see what he looked like before the program, but nobody knows currently, and he might be younger than that, with all the suspended animation and slip-space stuff. I suspect an absurd head injury, because he's crazy, like the Manfred Von Richtofen, (red baron). He got shot in the head leaving a very noticeable hole in his skull, and he got shot down because he went crazy and chased this one poor guy during the whole dogfight, and flew straight into AA. In other words, MC might not have much of a face
