James Windom Savina joined the Army during the First Elysian War and afterwards settled down with his highschool sweetheart and had a family. Their first born was a son, who James named Earle, after the boy's Great Grandfather. Earle was a smart kid, but that didn't stop him from getting into heaps of trouble and making his mother worry about his future. However, she had nothing to worry about because Earle made his father proud when, at age 16, he announced that he was joining the military.

Earle got into the infantry where he received a brutal dose of reality. Things were a lot harsher than he expected, but he persevered and stuck through it. His first ST came when died during an assault on a fortified position. He had stepped on a mine, but because of it, he was the only one in his unit to die. Eventually, this led to Earle having a breakdown and he received psychological counseling while he continued to serve.

Over the course of the next couple years, he died four more times. Once when the ship he was on was hit in interstellar combat, once due to a bombing while on guard duty during a planetary occupation and twice during assaults where he was killed due to enemy fire. Amidst all this, there were plenty of times he proved to be a model solider and continued to serve faithfully, eventually making the decision that he was going to go career. His mental issues had been worked through by this time and his record had caught the eye of someone in SAINT. Earle was a good soldier and his experience with multiple STs meant that he was a good candidate for SAINT infiltration and counter-intelligence training.

In SAINT, Earle went mainly by the codename “Red,” a nickname from when he was in the infantry. It was the only connection to his past that he allowed. Officially Earle Sovina had died in battle and his backup proved to be unrecoverable. He was part of a black ops cell that operated mostly with quasi-legal practices. For instance they would kidnap people, make an ST backup of them and insert an Operative's personality into the body and have them continue as a mole. When the operation was over, if necessary, they would use the backup to restore the original personality with selected memories from the Operative's actions during the Operation.

Unfortunately, some manner of impropriety was discovered by the higher ups and the Commanding Officer was forced to step down and was dishonorably discharged. The operatives under him, including Earle, were reshuffled into other operations. His new Captain required that he use the same body in between missions, as opposed to when in his previous cell they would just use temporary bodies. Thus he requested a combat-ready Nekovalkyrja body, in case he had to be called on at a moments notice. He had a fake identity set up for it and acts accordingly. Now according to records, Osaru Aki is a new NH-29 built specifically SAINT. He still prefers people call him “Red,” though.

Besides his normal, regular ST backups Earle has a second ST backup from back when he was accepted into SAINT. Should he retire, this backup would be revived in a body similar to his original one to live out his retirement, without the burden of having state secrets and other intimate knowledge that he has gained while a member of SAINT.
