Caxton, Shane J.

シェーン・J・キャクストン

Shane Caxton is an American black-ops operator currently stationed in Roanapur, waiting for deployment to Indochina. Like Dutch, he is a Vietnam War veteran who adheres to a strict moral code. Caxton's unit, known as "Gray Fox," carried out the assassination of Garcia Lovelace's father under orders from an NSA division. This action has earned him the enmity of the formidable Roberta, leading to a confrontation that draws in the entire city of Roanapur, including the Triad, Hotel Moscow, and the Church of Violence. Despite this, Mr. Chang attempts to extract Caxton and his men from Roanapur to prevent Roberta from killing them, as their deaths would spark a war between Roanapur's gangsters and the United States government. Upon meeting the Lagoon Company, he immediately recognizes Dutch and says something that appears to shock him.
He is highly respected by his colleagues, particularly Gray Fox's second-in-command, for his decency, integrity, and honorable conduct. He serves as the ideal symbol of America in the story. A flashback shows him executing one of his subordinates for murdering innocent women and children for pleasure during the Vietnam War, implying he will not tolerate such behavior. He also protects Garcia Lovelace while he and his team escape from Hotel Moscow.
