Connor had been a linguistics student with psych as a minor. He Married the love of his life

shortly after graduating college and did some piecemeal work for archeologists,

international companies, Bureau of Indian affairs, and a host of other businesses and

institutions needing the skills of a translator or archaic linguist. One of the companies he

worked for turned out to be part of a front for organized crime syndicate, and when the the

law caught up to the perpetrators, Connor had testified to the content of some of the

international communications of the company. Apparently, this pissed off someone in the

crime organization. One day, Connors wife Mary borrowed his car while hers was in the shop.

The explosion blew in part of the front of the house, and there wasn’t even enough of Mary

or even the car to fill a coffin.
Conner went through two years of depression and a low functioning existence until a new

emotion bubbled up inside him: burning acid hatred. Connor spent the next few years

researching demolitions techniques, criminal records, and other databases. He pumped his

contacts for information and made some new ones, developing skills to bluff, intimidate, or

negotiate for information. He found out which of the mafia’s soldiers had been employed to

bomb his car. He also found out who ordered the hit on him. Connor spent two more years

planning and waiting, carefully gathering materials and observing movement patterns and

habits of the boss responsible for his misery. He even got a part time job at the airport

where the boss had a private jet hangar. When finally all the pieces came together, Connor

made his move. Once the boss had left his freshly landed plane, boarded the limo, and

started to pull away, a bomb bearing the same exact signature as the one that killed his

wife detonated. Connor and all the other employees and passengers were evacuated. Thanks to

some intentionally sloppy bomb building, the investigation connected the bombing to the

original soldier and word got out in the organized crime circles. Before the individual

could be found by the FBI, he was floating face down in a river.
His vengeance fulfilled, Connor is depressed again, on the brink of suicide. He now resides

in an institution paid for with his dead wife’s dwindling life insurance payoff. He is

unable to make meaningful therapeutic progress at the institute due to the necessity of

keeping his illicit activities a secret.

Background
Being born in a mid-west small town left him in a particular lifestyle expectancy ... hunting, farming, finish school, get married, have children ...

and die.

he caught on to the hunting and farming thing, but he also picked up canoeing in the local river as well as kayaking, bluff climbing and snorkel/scuba in the river.

he was a good lad and went to the military to serve his country ... and stayed there. He didn't want to die a fat farmer with 20 kids running all over the place, no matter how beautiful the woman coulda been.

his skills of scuba, rock climbing and hunting put him in the sneaky b s group among his fellows in boot camp, he was a natural for special forces. This is what he found as his true love...serving his country while putting his life at risk.

1 year of actual duty in SF left him with a mission, only one. but that one was so dark and off the books that he had to undergo "special counseling" to make sure the information never saw the light of day, even in his mind...how they did he did not know and did not care. The lack of nightmares was worth it. ooc: (hypnotism or ... psi ops?)

he is finally on furlough. been so for a month and still had 3 more weeks of it ... hunting in the Ozarks during deer season, trout fishing and rock climbing in the current River area and scuba at bull shoals lake, near Branson. Ah the good life .. like right now. he was suspended on a rope, ten feet below a rock outcropping 100 feet in the air, and 50 feet from the top...over looking the current river valley and the forested ridges all around him ... nothing but miles of ... nothing. Ah the good life.


Did I just hear a chopper?........
