Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rkhet" data-source="post: 2288665" data-attributes="member: 31318">Concept Mark II, or: the not-quite-as-psycho soldier guy: Graham 'Sarge' Grocott is something of a legend in the right circles. As the name implies, he served as an army seargent during the War. Of the 215 men he commanded during the course of the war, not a single one had died or suffered permanent injuries while serving under him. This was not due to tactical genius as much as 'cowardice under fire and direct disobedience of orders', according to his dishonourable discharge papers. A dubious honour, but better, as he likes to say, than the more honourable honour of being dead. Being out of a job and with no peacetime skill to speak of, Graham found work as a hired gun. Handy though he is with weapons, he was inexperienced in the field, and was caught by the secret services. The top-ranking agent is an ex-soldier that knew him. He was offered a deal: he would 'dispose of' those that needs disposing, for a tidy sum per head, and it would be passed off as 'vigilante activity', with the police conveniently failing to catch him. There is a security box in the bank on Main Street, containing a list of names. Periodically, they would be crossed out, and new ones added, along with a stack of unmarked notes. The names belong to those that cannot be dealt by the law by normal means - those who are skilled enough to avoid capture, those who could afford long and expensive trials, those in powerful positions and, perhaps, those with inconvenient opinions and large followings. Graham harbours no illusions on being a defender of justice or righter of wrongs - to him it is no different from the contracted killings he had done in the past. "Government scum", he would say, "is still scum. But at least they pay well."</blockquote>
