- "Wake up, you worthless sacks of shit! It's raining blinks outside, so you better have your umbrellas ready!"
- — Donald Korin
Captain Donald Korin was a marine in the Systems Alliance Marine Corps who was the commanding officer of Charlie Squad, a detachment of the 17th Shock Troops Company stationed on Elysium by 2176 CE. Born on Mars, Korin was born into an old-fashioned family with an emphasis on strict adherence to stern discipline. Korin went through school anti-social and tough, refusing to start many fights but assuredly ending those that others did. He was determined to join the Martian Colonial Guard, but eventually chose to join the marines instead, and most of his training was completed on Benning. In 2175 CE, he was assigned command of Charlie squad on Elysium, with Marcus L. Shepard as his second-in-command. Korin was one of the first to be informed in the opening minutes of the batarian assault in 2176 CE, and had Charlie squad scrambled and deployed within moments. Unfortunately, Korin severely underestimated the strength of the besieging batarian troops, taking his squad to reinforce their defenses against what he believed to be a platoon-strength raiding party. An orbital bombardment hit the barracks Korin was mobilizing their troops in, and he along with the rest of its inhabitants were killed in the blasts.
