Looks like the perfect script to bring one of my old character concept I haven't been able to play so far. I assume this is in Seattle, else I can always adapt the story.
Name: Anthony Rine
Alias: Drill
Role: Face/Gunner
Age: 53
Background: Anthony was born in Seattle, only child his father was a cop and his mother worked in local government (some kind of paper-shuffler job). While he took his father's patriotism and love for guns he wanted to do more for his country that catching petty criminals. He engaged in the military at 20.
During eighteen years he fought in the front, all around the world, for the UCAS. He was a good soldier but also an excellent negotiator, more than often he was the one who would bargain with locals and/or armed bands. His fellow female soldiers were not insensitive to his charms either, he found love amongst them and got married between two missions at 24 years old.
As he grew older (and maybe wiser) he got less into the front lines and started terrorizing young recruits. His natural charisma was definitely an asset for a Drill Instructor and he found a new purpose. But here, in the back lines, without the sound of wars to distract him he started to notice moare and more the poor condition of the military. Missions weren't so much about protecting the interest of the country but more those of some corporations, there was far less patriots than before and the corruption was rampant.
He tried to stand up against that but all he managed was to get a warning. So he decided to fight with his own tools. His teaching became harsher than ever, he did his best to discourage the youth to die in war fueled only by greed. It worked for a while but some people noticed and they used his growing age as a reason to retire him.
Back in Seattle he joined his wife that had already retired some years earlier. But he was still burning with the rage to fight for his country, using his father and his own connections he started to work with Knights Errant. He blended right in, ex-military are common in KE, as a cop and as an instructor.
It had been eight years since he joined when the undercover operation was brought forward. He immediatly applied seeing here a gold opportunity to escape the boring desk job and do some good for his city.
