On Ellie's first day at the boarding school, she gets into a fight with some boys who tried to steal some of her belongings. When Riley comes to her aid and successfully beats them up, the Corporal comes over. Riley gets away but Ellie is caught. In his office, he states how he is the line between the children at the boarding school and smugglers and the infected.

A short while before Riley joined the Fireflies, the corporal caught her and Ellie using waterguns and subsequently confiscated them. He also dismissed Riley's desires to join the Fireflies, mocking them as a "fucking renegade group". The girls subsequently nicknamed him "Corporal Dickhead".
