Name: Bryce Montarello
Age: 28
Codename Prior to SNAKE PIT designation: Ghost
SNAKE PIT codename: Death Adder
Race: Caucasian/has Italian heritage which his family name stems from
Gender: Male
Place of birth: Sydney, Australia.
Date of birth: 3rd of January
Appearance: He has piercing green eyes and short, black, clean cut hair. He his quite muscular and stands at 6'1. He has a rough, dark beard.
His torso is covered in scars from when he was captured for 8 months and tortured. Mostly deep cuts, he has a large burn at the bottom of his back and on the right side of his chest. He has 2 bullet scars, one in his right shoulder and another to the center of his left lung. He has a thick scar from being stabbed in his right lung with a military grade knife.
Afflictions: PTSD
Personality: Extremely patient on the battlefield, however in his interactions with peers he has 0 patience for stupidity and incompetence. Brutishly so, he will not stand to be talked down upon unless speaking to a superior. However he does respect those of skill, so long as they respect him. Having a reputation of completing any job no matter what the cost, he doesn't like his abilities being questioned considering all he has sacrificed (both lungs and nearly his life on numerous occasions). He has a soft side that grows softer each passing day he fights without a cause. He has been a lone wolf for most of his life but he let a woman into his heart and has since yearned to bond with his fellow peers, even if he does not yet realize it.
Tactics: He ambushes his prey on their home turf. He waits hours in a specific spot that he knows the target will be passing by, although using lures if need be, assuming the mission allows the flexibility to do things his way.
His usual load-out consists of the following:
*A heavily customized AM MRS- 4. Silenced with a 2x booster, the two scopes connect to heavily zoom in on a target or for close fire half the scope is pushed out of the way. It also has a larger magazine, not that he ever needs it.
*A suppressed .45 automatic handgun due to it's impressive anti-personnel stopping power and reliability.
*C4- the amount depends on the mission and availability.
*Combat knife
Although this is his preferred style, he can operate a multitude of weapons and is flexible.
Combat outfit: Stealth suit
Outside of the mission: Leather jacket white undershirt and denim jeans.
Augmentations: Both his lungs are bionic due to his original being shot out to the point of no repair. They have allowed him to have a largely increased lung capacity and due to his lungs being artificial smoking has one less health hazard. This has yet to actually give him a strategical advantage or disadvantage.
Specialization: CQC, infiltration, data retrieval, assassination.
Dialogue color: Hot Pink
History: Bryce was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. During a holiday in Queensland when he was 11 years old a man stabbed his mother in a car jacking. Bryce pulled the knife out of his mothers pale flesh and stabbed the guy in the throat as he was trying to start the car and drive off. He has had PTSD since. He has two younger sisters and a half brother. Both sisters are biological with his brother being on his fathers side. His oldest sister, one year apart from him he has a very special bond with. Since he was 11 he has been afraid he couldn't protect his family, his mother, his sisters. His infant brother. He enrolled in a self defense class and stayed with it until he joined the ADF.
His mother, since her stabbing, became a depressed alcoholic and so his 18th birthday couldn't have come soon enough because when he finally turned 18 he joined the Australian Defence Force. He served as a rifleman for 2 years before trying for the position of commando. He succeeded and served for another 5 years before being pronounced KIA during a tour in Africa. He was suppose to assassinate an African warlord but was instead captured and recruited. Here he served as an assassin for 3 years before being contacted about operation SNAKE PIT. He would either be hunted down and killed for his crimes just like his boss had been or he could serve for a greater purpose.
He reluctantly accepted. It was likely the 3 years with the warlord that caught their attention as he has an impressive list of targets and successful missions. He rarely allows himself to take a holiday and thus has does more work in one year than most do in their careers. Over this time he has learnt several different languages. English, Italian, Russian, Auslan and a few African languages.
He was never in the army or even the private mercenary group for the money or the cause. He never did it for his country or comrades. It started with the fear. After his first kill, arguably self defence, he was afraid of what others could do. When he joined the army and got good at the art of war he wasn't afraid anymore. Every kill, every successful mission, he conquered his childhood terrors. He grew to love the service, he was good at it. Strategic assassinations became his forte, infiltrating a base only to blow up one anti air cannon gun without anybody knowing how it was done was an extension of this. Killing was his art. His knife the paintbrush and the battlefield his canvas. Although lately his lifestyle has been weighing on his mind heavy. He wants to quit, but it's all he knows.
His years with Azahir Dusan are among the most important in his life. Despite being few, they were extremely active. In three years he had 10 days off. Even on 7 of those he had to kill somebody. In three years he completed 893 missions. This includes guard duty, as he served as Azahir's personal guard when he was not in active duty, which was most of the time.
Granted, he wasn't alone on these missions. He was in 100 ops before he was allowed to start heading his own, organizing his own teams and becoming a strategist and tactician himself. He wasn't as efficient as Azahir's other lieutenants but that quickly changed. Being Azahir's right hand man for so long had many benefits, but he reaped few.
One he enjoyed was a whore. He had access to many, but he only cared about one. He had to pay her, of course, and he made an arrangement where for every offer she got he had to pay for her not to sleep with them. He truly cared about her. When he received the SNAKE PIT designation he had to move from Africa to America. It was here he was being pardoned of his war crimes and excused for his affiliation with what was ultimately a terrorist sect.
He managed to convince the whore he fell in love with to move with him, it was hard work, but he convinced her she could find a better life as something else. Something she chose. This led to the start of Bryce's story in the RP.
