Johnny Rico is a soldier in the Mobile Infantry and the protagonist of Starship Troopers and Starship Troopers 3: Marauder. He's best known for his role leading troops through the brutal war against the Bugs, though he starts the series as a relatively inexperienced recruit who gets thrown into the deep end pretty quickly. Over the course of the films, Rico becomes a hardened veteran and takes on increasing responsibility within the military hierarchy. Fans often note his journey from idealistic enlistee to battle-scarred soldier as one of the franchise's core through-lines.
