Angel Desai – First Minister Jinn

It takes a stern and commanding voice to play someone like First Minister Jinn in the Gears of War series, and that is exactly what Angel Desai has been known for across her career. She has starred in many TV roles, including Linda Chao in Jessica Jones, Candida in Being Mary Jane, and a myriad of roles in the Law & Order series.

Carolyn Seymour – Queen Myrrah

While the Locust and elegance aren’t usually used in the same sentence, there is no doubt that Carolyn Seymour’s British voice brings it to Queen Myrrah when she returns for the role in Gears 5. If she sounds familiar for video game fans, it’s likely due to her work as Dr. Chakwas in the Mass Effect series or for her numerous roles in the Star Wars games.

Sumalee Montano – Lahni Kaliso

Lahni Kaliso is a veteran of the Locust Wars, serving as one of the fierce, combat-tested characters in all of Gears 5.
