Owen Mills was an American soldier.
Mills grew up in Des Moines, wanting to be an astronaut, air pilot, cop or a Football star when he was older. With a below average education, Mills found he could do none of those things. After watching the American forces in Iraq, he enlisted himself. After his training he was and sent to Afghanistan.
He earned himself a solid reputation in the military and was recruited by Colonel Cotter Gleason for his unit. After Gleason stole a shipment of alien weapons he was delivering to the CIA, Mills confronted him, saying that he wished to leave the unit. Gleason shot him to make an example to the rest of his men. (PROSE: The Men Who Sold the World)
