 Bio: His name is Outbreak and he is the harbinger of pain and suffering, for this man brings with him a turbulent blood dimmed tides. Outbreak is not a man that one should take lightly in any fashion. This warrior has dedicated his entire life to fighting against the status qua and ticking his nose in places it shouldn’t belong, for Outbreak has terrorised the UCAS and Europe for far to long and this killer doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon, no he has actually just accelerated his plans as well as brought forth a new age of terror. Outbreak has been in operation since the early 2030’s and hails from the generation of the founding fathers, this man is a master swordsman as well he is a master of biological warfare. Yes this man holds multiple advanced degrees and doctorates in toxicology, virology, pathology as well as biology, chemistry and electrical engineering. Robert was born into a wealthy family and had everything he ever desired handed to him on a silver platter. Though the one thing that Robert is missing is something that couldn’t be purchased and that is a conscience, he is a clinical sociopath and cares little for anything then fulfilling his own agenda. This man unlike his brother is not driven by some misguided religious concept and ideology, no Robert is driven by his own sick and twisted mind. The further he advanced his education and the further he showed his genius, the deeper down the slippery slope of psychosis Robert fell and eventually what would emerge would be the terror known simply as Outbreak.

          This man has been unleashed onto the world and we have only ourselves to thank for the creation of this lunatic, he used the panic that would spiral out of control do to the rise of violence in the cities, he would ride the chaos of the crumbling economy and take advantage of the rising racially motivated crimes to slip into the deep would that would be the American spirit. Outbreak has done nothing but spread his hatred like a plague all across the nation, and he uses his twisted thoughts as an excuse for his actions. For this killer has tormented a nation, spread fear like a disease through the suburbs and can single handedly gridlock an entire town with just the rumour of his presence. Outbreak holds no value of life and see’s each and every citizen as nothing more than a subject of one of his twisted experiments. This man is the cause for many viral outbreaks that have plagued a district and is even to blame for the recursion of the bubonic plague that nearly wiped out the people of Benin City in Africa. This man only cares about the death toll and nothing else, though what is slightly disturbing is he is not a member of the Deaths Hand like his brother. According to my contacts, Outbreak is just to random and unpredictable to serve in that order of madmen. This brings to cause a serious problem for the rest of the world, he might not be within the Hand, but he is protected by them do to his familiar connections and they are not above using his madness for the betterment of their cause. We can now see just why the Hand is able to dominate a region so quickly and why Outbreak has been able to manoeuvre around without contest.

       This killer hails from the founding father generation and has been a serious player in the game known as the shadows, he is willing to do anything for any amount of payment just as long as he can bring forth pain and suffering. He has very little invested in any major corporation or government so for Outbreak anyone can become a target at any given moment, he also is another that has no qualms about murdering the Johnson after the operation to cover his tracks further, to him the employer is nothing more then a carrier for one of his designer or archaic diseases. This has created a serious discontent and trust issue with the employers and the runners, not only do they have to deal with the stone cold killer known a the Iceman they as well have to worry about the sociopathic tendencies of Outbreak. This man has as well became fully involved with the War of the Shadows and would strike not only those that came after him, but he would strike at those that he deemed where causing the problem. The actions of Outbreak would go on to send many of both generations to the grave, until one man would be able to get through to Outbreak and show him the error of his ways. Though this would not be an easy meeting and one that didn’t include bloodshed, on a cold dark night sometime in 2065 Outbreak would meet the legend known as Hook, and the events of that evening would define a generation as it would be the first time two founders would clash over the destruction of the previous generation.

        These men would clash high above the city, within the iconic landmark of the Space Needle, with hundreds of witnesses the two legends would duel. Outbreak and Hook would enter mortal combat, though sadly for the many innocent citizens that where in attendance when the masters blades would clash many would call this night their last. What directly caused the clash at the Space Needle is unknown, though some speculate that Hook tried to stop Outbreak from slaughtering yet another band of runners as they meet with a Johnson, seeing that Outbreak didn’t give a damn about what generation they were from and the winds to him where nothing but a myth that Outbreak didn’t put any credence into. He watched as the war of the shadows was tearing apart the city, and tearing apart the world of the shadows though the actions of the founders and the actions of Iceman and Outbreak didn’t help matters in the least. Well when the two collided on that faithful night, many souls would perish in a flurry of steel and bullets, the battle would not only begin in the restaurant, but it would continue onto the observation deck and then it would spill out onto the skeleton of the Needle itself. Both men would be unable to gain the upper hand on each other, though both would be grievously wounded by each others hands, Hook would eventually be able to usurp Outbreak with a strike to his lower leg and bringing him down to his knee, though Hook would be rewarded with a impaling strike to the stomach from Outbreak’s rapier. This is the pivotal moment when the two shared a few words, well according to those who witnessed the attack would claim that they spoke out on the ledge as their blood spilled onto the framework of the needle. What directly was said is unknown though it was enough for Outbreak to remove his blade that had just run through his once friend and ally, it also allowed Hook to release his hook from Outbreaks thigh. The two men then rose to there feet, nodded at each other and as the police began to flood the building they would swan dive off the Space Needle and vanish into the shadows of the city.

          Now we can only assume that this was the point in history when Outbreak was informed of the truth of the winds and the truth of the war within the shadows, since he would no longer directly assault the runners of the new age. Though it wouldn’t stop Outbreak from becoming even further a threat to the world and allow him to hard focus his assaults on the enemy that he had neglected when he was running the shadows. Seeing Outbreak is a man of action and one that can’t just sit ideally by and watch as the world turns around him. No this man needs to keep forging ahead and watch as the world burns in his wake, for him happiness comes from the spilling of blood and the spreading of disease. So one can thank Hook for sparing the new generation of runners the fury of Outbreak, but we can also thank him for the unleashing of Outbreak on the rest of us. This man has used the chaos that has erupted as of recent to slip in unnoticed and declare war on all of us, though it is as well par for the course he is a founder and they have all turned there attention onto the UCAS, it just took Outbreak longer then others to hard focus the supposed enemy.

          This man during the later part of the 2060’s would unleash a wave of terror never before seen and never before felt by any nation. He would adapt his sword to inject a variant of some new designer plague that would spread like a wildfire through a city before petering out like a candle in the wind. It would hit hard and fast killing hundreds, creating a panic and causing wide spread terror as the medical community would scramble to find a cure for the plague before it would become a pandemic. Though before they could confer a cure, it would vanish and the fade away only to be replaced with another far worse and far more lethal epidemic. Though like all the ones prior it would strike a specific region and fade away like all the others, Outbreak would use this as a for of terrorism and control. He would strike directly at the people causing the UCAS to have to act quickly to cure the illness before it infects the nation, though knowing that it might just fade away before they get a chance. Though the threat of a greater outbreak always loomed on the horizon and nothing they had on hand would cure the mutated disease that would shut an entire cities infrastructure down and halt all transportation. Thus pinning important people down, and making them sitting ducks to the master swordsman and proving that Outbreak is far more cunning and intelligent then given credit for. Many people would perish under the wrath of this man and many would become carriers of his mobile, undetectable weapon only to be unleashed directly into the lions den. Outbreak is true scum and this only proves that he cares little for anything or anyone other then himself, he is a madman that is forging his own agenda and path of destruction. He has caused the government to spend billions in trying to protect the citizens from his attacks, he has caused Bio Tech to invest heavily into there viral research and he has caused many cities to quiver in fear of the next attack never knowing when or where it will come only knowing that it will come.

         Well as of current affairs, Outbreak is back in Seattle as he has been spotted speaking with Hook a number of times has invested heavily into the reconstruction of the Space Needle after the destruction of it during the Deaths Hand invasion back in November of 2073. What Outbreak is dong in Seattle is unknown and why he is investing into the needle is bothersome and unknown, this man doesn’t do anything without a reason or nefarious agenda behind it. Just ask the people of Africa who have had to deal with his mutated Bubonic plague and just ask the people of Warsaw who suffered under his flesh eating virus and the test subjects that became mindless cannibals in Paris after being exposed to an unknown virus unleashed by Outbreak in April of 2073. This man being inside Seattle should cause concern seeing that if he is up to his old tricks, something far worse is about to be unleashed into the city and once again the people will become his victims only to lure out his real target. With Outbreak in Seattle again, best to break out the surgical masks, respirators and stay indoors until he plays his trump card. Until then anyone can become patient zero and so would begin the surge of sickness and eventually death for many innocent souls that will become nothing more then a statistic of Outbreak.
