Bio: The Vagabond is relatively new to the game of running the shadows, though he has been well trained and groomed for the work that would be involved in being a shadow operator. Carter is the only son of legendary hive buster Bug, though birth records are a bit questionable here and there is a really good chance that Carter is actually the O’Brian child that he kidnapped all those years prior. This means that Carter has been being groomed to hate everything about the United Canadian American States and especially his birth father General James O’Brian by his adoptive father Patrick O’Hair. Giving Carter actually no other recourse than to become part of the war and strike out against his legacy, the O’Brian family never gave up on the recovery of their stolen child, though now James must seriously think very carefully about welcoming his so back into his arms if they were to ever cross paths again. Carter has been exposed to all the anger, frustration and hatred that boils deep within Patrick’s soul for his entire upbringing; he has also been exposed to some of the most infamous rebels and terrorists known to the free world. This could very easily twist and transform any impressionable child to seethe with anger towards the one man that could have saved him from a life as a terrorist; Carter was dealt a bad hand as a child and through his formative years he would be programmed to know only hatred towards a system that has done nothing to him but allow him to live free.

         Now according to my records Carter is fully aware of his kidnapping at the hands of Bug and being raised by a surrogate father, these records also report that he could care less and from his earliest memories Patrick was more of a father to him than James was ever and for that Carter is more than willing to risk everything to fight for the proper cause. Well you would think that a man like Bug would groom and train the young Vagabond to be nothing more than a hardened killer and load him up with the best cyber technology to give him the total advantage in the war. Well in actuality the Vagabond was properly trained to be the ultimate soldier at the hands of people like the Revenant, Sabretooth, Quickdraw, Marshall and the Chemist making this young man a true nightmare for anyone who judges a book by it’s cover. The Vagabond has received far more training than anyone would care to let on and has been preparing for his début within the shadows for his entire life, even his father and the infamous Agent White have had their hand in grooming this child for his trip into the wide world or terrorism.

      For the Vagabond he would enter the world only a few years ago sometime during the War Within the Shadows in the mid 2060’s and he has found his home within the mercenary world ever since; working as a soldier of fortune along side some of the industries finest and bravest warriors. The Vagabond is a freelance operator and not directly connected to the Brotherhood of Mercenaries, though again don’t be fooled into thinking those madmen are not keeping a watchful eye on the only son of their ally and friend Bug. Though according to government documents and the war journal of the Vagabond he has a spotless record and has been nothing short of achieving a perfect completion record for any assignment he is given, though he still has one ongoing task that remains incomplete and thats the assassination of his birth father James O’Brian; a task that the Vagabond is more than willing and prepared to complete, so it is best for a fearless leader to watch out for the return of his wayward son in the coming days.

        The Vagabond has been working within the mercenary world for nearly a decade now and yet has remained mostly unknown do to being overshadowed by the legends he partners up with. The hardened killers keep their reputation in check, while the Vagabond slithers in the shadows removing the direct targets of the operation; his personal code remains intact though in reality he knowingly breaches his own code of conduct. Though the documents will never admit this and blame is passed to those that he has aligned with such as the Sellsword, Juggernaut or Ragnarock all known for their total destruction and complete devastation of the battlefield; thus allowing the Vagabond to move around unnoticed and strike the all needed fatal blow while the enemy is distracted by one of his ruthless partners. The Sabretooth taught the Vagabond to always be prepared for the unknown and to expect the unexpected; as well never leave anyone breathing. If you have the opportunity to kill your enemy and opponent take it and never look back, the marks on your soul will heal, but an enemy can one day return to strike you down. These are words that the Vagabond has taken to heart and added to his personal code of conduct, knowing that a breathing opponent is still a threat and one that is extinguished will no longer be of any bother.

       This is a war he is fighting and the Vagabond has been born directly into this fight, his fate unknown and his actions only to further seal the destiny of those determined to be the enemy. This young mercenary was never given the opportunity to properly choose his place within the war and determine if he wanted to be turned into a monster of the rebels or a sworn soldier of the government like his birth father. He is to far gone to be reasoned with and seethes with anger like his adoptive father, educated within the best schools inside Boston and trained by the most hardened and lethal killers to date; the Vagabond is truly a formative foe for the United Canadian American States and one that will not just go away and one that can not easily be just brushed off as a non threat. This young mercenary is nothing more than a monster of his generation, one that holds true to the values of those that came before him, and one that doesn’t care how the world perceives him. The Vagabond has his targets, and either he will fall attempting to squeeze the life out of them, or they will fall victim to the Vagabond for there is no other alternative and failure is not an option.
