Trevor O’Malley (Rock)

The old man known as Rock has been working within the shadows for many a decade and can be traced all the way back to the days of the founding fathers. This man was once a dedicated teacher and educator of the youth, and worked for the with in the Seattle school district with never an idea that he would one day become a cold blooded murderer that would forgo his once suburban life and willingly walk into the shadows and never look back. Rock is one of those monsters that can be blamed directly on the United Canadian American States and the Native American Nations as they would systematically destroy everything Rock would have built up and leave him a widower, homeless and having to bury his children in a blink of an eye his life would change forever; as he would listen to the lies being spun on the radio, rock would make a choice and it would be one that would change his life forever.

         Rock is a physical adept, who’s magical prowess was not only enhanced during the fires of the Ghost Dance he was granted some unique and rare abilities that are not common to those within the adept world. He would use these new skills to strike directly at the heart of the UCAS and NAN within Seattle during the early days after the Great Tragedy and Nights of Blood, he would be unaware of the Purge that was also happening but for a simple school teacher he would not be on their list and the Purge would never directly come for him; though it would indirectly when Agent White would be dispatched to Seattle to dispose of the old man. Well for Agent White he would leave Seattle a failure and with multiple broken limbs, as Rock would prove to the young government assassin that you should never underestimate someone with a staff. Rock nearly ended the life of Agent White on that summer day in 2022 as his staff was about to find it’s home against the neck of the downed Agent, if it wasn’t for his partner and back up putting two rounds into Rocks shoulder the world might never have heard of Agent White.

        Rock would spend his time working in direct defiance of the New Order and fighting against the Native American Nation where ever it stood, he was a man on a mission and with anger fuelling his dedication the UCAS would suffer greatly under the weight of the Rock. Throughout the years Rock would strike at many of the Native encampments throughout the city and become a great ally of those in the Patriots, and enemy of the citizens of the Native American Nations. If it wasn’t for the workings of Rock they would never have learned about the Talon District and it’s connection to the tribal collective, as well Rock would directly uncover further dealings that would damn the UCAS further to be in direct concert with the Natives. This man would eventually be forced to flee Seattle during the Shadow War in 2055 becoming a direct target for assassination by the UCAS and new shadow warriors entering the city at the time. These new runners would be easy targets for government hire and the old timers where their number one target for removal, both do to the governments desire to cleanse the protagonists and to allow the young to garner the reputation of being the generation that removed the founding fathers.

       Rock and his generation where more of a threat to the UCAS then anyone ever imagined, seeing that they where nearly immune to the brainwashing machine, they were not part of the system and hence couldn’t be re-educated with the new history and these men not only knew the truth they lived it first hand. The cleaning fires needed the founders to be removed for the sanctity and growth of the New Order, with these runners in operation they would never allow the machine to seize complete domination over the meek. The founders needed to be removed and so did the generation that would follow them, as they too remained to be a problem for the great machine of the New Order. Many of the early runners where old enough to remember the days before the UCAS and remember the days before the Purge; these operators would as well be trained by the founders and seek guidance from the old timers thus being further indoctrinated into the revolution that they fought. The New Order needed these old timers gone and as well needed the following generation to be reprogrammed into the great machine that is the New Order. Well for Rock this was not going to happen and he knew that he had to flee the city to stay alive and continue his fight against the machine that is the New Order, and leaving Seattle would only allow him to bring the fight to new cities not prepared for a man of his skill and ability.

       Rock would bring his personal war directly to many of the cities within the UCAS throughout the 2050’s and into the 2060’s sending many agent of the government to the grave broken. Though for the UCAS Rock would become a bigger problem then they ever imagined, for you can take the teacher out of the school but you can’t take the teacher out of the man. Do to his grandfatherly appearance and his authoritative presence, Rock would begin to be sought out by the younger generation that didn’t know him as a threat or a target; and seek guidance from this man. Rock would begin to lower his weapons and teach these youngsters the actual truth and revel the ugly truth that is the New Order and the UCAS. Thus creating a new generation of youth that where taught to question the words of the government and not accept it as gospel, Rock had indirectly helped the recruitment drives of the Patriots and as well planted the seed of doubt into the minds of the many; creating a whole new generation of shadow warrior that would gladly take up arms against the government. The workings of Rock would once again come to the attention of the New Order as they would notice schools reporting the increase of students questioning the provided texts and prepared lectures. The new education system was not prepared to handle when multiple students would ask questions and thus disrupt the machine.

       The New Order would respond to Rock’s meddling ways by sending further assassins to remove him and protect their collective asset, the youth of the nation. Well according to the records provided by the government and those not so legally provided, the New Order would fail numerous times at silencing Rock and would be forced to send the one man they thought could end Rock for good, they would dispatch Agent Bradley Wellton to remove the Rock equation. Well just like Agent White, Agent Wellton was unprepared for the sheer skill and violent nature of Rock as his staff would break multiple of the Agents bones and nearly kill Agent Wellton sending him crawling away broken and defeated; Rock choose to not kill Wellton to send the government a brutal message that no man can best the Rock. The Government would respond with another fated failure and send once again the now older and far more skilled Agent White to go and remove the Rock, calling him a threat to national security and known terrorist. Agent White would follow the agencies directive and go toe to toe once again with the Rock, a man that bested him over thirty years prior. Agent White needlessly would fall victim once again to the flurry of blows from the staff and find himself with broken cybernetics, bones and ruptured organs. Though unlike their prior meeting that Agent White narrowly survived, Rock instead of landing the killing blow on the downed Agent; he pulled out a burn phone and contacted emergency medical response for Agent White as well he slipped him a datafile before the agent would pass out from his wounds.

         What Rock gave him is unknown, but since Agent White retired after their meeting and would join the revolution it seems that whatever was on that datafile would be life changing for Agent White and damning for the government; seeing that Director Mitchell has made the removal of Agent White his number one priority and forgone the need to remove the Rock from the equation. Rock would eventually return to Seattle and throw his glove back into the ring there, for this hunter and solider the war will never be over until the last of the New Order falls victim to his staff and he snaps the neck of both O’Brian and Mitchell. Rock might have refocused his efforts towards the UCAS and away from the Natives, though he still holds discontent towards them and will return to hunting those responsible for turning an honest man like him into the monster he has become. Rock is once again in the fight for Seattle and this time he has no plans of fleeing or retreating, he will fight for the Emerald City with all his heart never yielding till the day the New Order collapses.
