Bio: Longshot is the teams second sniper and this man is just as lethal as stone, he is another one who considers James to be more like a Father than commander so watch out for Longshot, James rescued this man from a life on the streets being abused and used by gangs and low life scum. Basically Longshot owes his life to James and will do anything for him. It appears James has returned the favour by making his files vanish and as well as anyone who knew Longshot prior to joining Urban Strike.

        It is rumoured that Longshot played Stones game of tag and survived, but again anyone that can confirm this is not talking so we just have to assume it’s a rumour. Longshot was always a good shot as he grew up initially in the wastelands hunting paranormal creatures and other raiders, he moved into the sprawl to make a life as a runner and all he found was pain and torment. The shadows where not nice to this rookie and that’s when James found him. Longshot was an integral part of the success of the Broken Arrow project and James saw the potential in this young man and put them to good use, he sent him to sniper school and then had Stone train him further in the art of snipping. James as well trained his young protege in the arts of the SOL targeting, making him even more deadly. Being that James didn’t need to be there himself and with Longshot being able to access SOL as well that meant James could have two direct shots from SOL in separate locations.

     Longshot is now a Colonel and commands his own special forces team, though he is still part of US1 and will work with them when needed. Longshot has taken well to military life and has not looked back once at the life he walked away from. He said that Bridge is burned and James gave me a life worth living and something to fight for and believe in. Needless to say Longshot has thrown himself into that life and shares James’s view of shadowrunners as needless scum and the world would be better without them. So don’t underestimate this man, he is a combat whiz kid and is deadly with all forms of firearms. He is never alone is always considered to be on duty, so watch out Longshot doesn’t believe in subduing a target he is always 100% lethal, this is a warning hopefully well heard.
