Biography: Norad Dayspring Mercer was born to Major Nathan Frost Mercer and Captain Lieza Phillips. He was named after his grandfathers who are known military commanders in the Federation Space Force. When Norad was two, his parents were recalled by the military and he never saw them again. They were killed in action during the Eclipsor Prime recovery campaign. Norad was taken in and raised by his paternal grandfather, retired Colonel Dayspring Mercer. They lived together on an agricultural farm situated in the outskirts of Galaxia City. In his youth, Norad was taught in the art of hunting, tracking, and shooting, skills his grandfather saw useful for a possible future profession. His grandfather also taught him how to brawl, and to always stand up to bullies. He frequently reads many of his grandfather's books on naval tactics and even claimed his grandfather's private notebook his. Norad also enjoyed helping his grandfather tend to the farm. It was through this passion where Norad first discovered his aptitude at mobile weapon piloting and engineering.

Norad first began to learn how to pilot his grandfather's trademark Junior before switching to an old Union Realdo his grandfather modified for farming purposes. His rapid progress surprised many including his grandfather, who immediately concluded that a normal life didn't suit his grandson. At twelve years old, Norad established himself as a premier mobile weapons mechanic on his side of town. Norad was eventually scouted and then courted by employees and the corporate higher-ups at renowned Federation manufacturers, Galaxy Armaments. Though the offers he received were lucrative, Norad turned them all down in favor of joining the Federation military. While he never got to know his parents well, Norad always wanted to understand their undying passion and absolute commitment to the Federation hence his reason to enlist himself. With his grandfather's blessings, Norad received the opportunity to attend Lake Macross Academy. The location was special, because it was the place where his parents met and fell in love. It was also the place where his grandfather offered his services last prior to retirement.

In his first year at the institution, Norad met and befriended Lynx Fenix, Signas Kircheis, and Wulfric Lohengramm. Known as the Vier Helden or the Four Heroes, the inseperable quartet established the foundations of their fame long before their military careers. While Norad always found Lynx's playful bullying as childish, he was always there to watch his back against anyone who had a beef against them. When Lynx began dating Ariana von Reuenthal, he gained the envy and hatred of many men who courted her. When a the leader of a rival gang threatened to kill Lynx, Norad proceeded to beat him up and the rest of his fellows singlehandedly. If not for the intervention of his mentor, Colonel Oswald Gunsche, Norad would've been expelled for indisciplinary conduct. Owing his life and his future to Colonel Gunsche, Norad resolved to redeem himself. In the years that followed, Norad was hailed by his peers at the academy for outstanding valor and leadership in all of his classes. He graduated with top honors and was drafted into the Federation Armed Forces.

Due to his reputation as a fierce combatant, Norad was frequently placed at the frontlines. He became the fastest and youngest member of his unit to receive the Purple Heart after his first sortie. Promoted to Lieutenant after seven successful missions at Drei Sara, Norad was then assigned under Admiral Paul von Oberstein. While stationed on Moria, Norad held enforcer duties and was strictly instructed to gun down any citizen who even attempted to resist Federation rule. This put him at odds with his superior. Following an incident where Norad helped a hungry P.O.W. by offering him rations, he was punished by Admiral von Oberstein and stripped of his rank and authority in a public ceremony. In a fit of defiance, Norad stunned the Federation contingent when he decked Admiral von Oberstein in public. His actions normally resulted in an immediate death sentence if not for the actions of Admiral Wolfgang Mittermeyer, at odds with von Oberstein as well, admired Norad and his willingness to stand up for justice. Mittermeyer rebukes Norad's death sentence and immediately takes him as the newest member of the Tristan Armada.

Though Federation High Command agreed to withdraw Norad's death sentence, he was nonetheless suspended for striking a commanding officer. Because of this, he was unable to participate in Operation Rain of Fire where the Federation achieved victory at Eisengrad. He did however, obtain special permission to return to Fifth Jerusalem to attend the funeral of Grand General Leo, Lynx's father. Norad's suspension was lifted when the Beowulf and Tristan armadas were assigned to lead the campaign to recover Eclipsor Prime. Two years later, Norad fulfilled his parent's original mission and successfully recovers Eclipsor Prime following his outstanding performance at the Battle of Port Stockholm. Norad was promoted to Major and attended his best friend Lynx's wedding as one of his ushers. After reuniting with his friends from the academy, Norad agreed to transfer himself to the armada under Signas Kircheis's command. Visiting his parent's graves at Lake Macross cemetery, Norad vows he will continue to keep their passions alive, through his services as a Galaxy Federation soldier.
