Re: Character Profiles
The improbably named Jack Random is a tall, good looking, caucasian American with the lean physique of a lifetime PT nut. He was born in the small north Georgia town of Elijay and grew up walking the Appalachian mountains and watching US Army Rangers training nearby. He even participated playing a civilian several times and an insurgent with a bomb hidden in his backpack once.
When Jack earned an athletic scholarship to the Virginia Military Institute he accepted it with the full intention of joining the army and getting into Ranger School asap. That was before he met the man who nicknamed him "Jack" (his family actually calls him JW), self proclaimed "Jarhead Superman" Morris Mulcahey (Jack calls him "Wardaddy"). While offering useful advice like, "kid yer not fast enough to play in the Pros better brush up on your academics", Morris got Jack into competitive Judo, competitive Shooting, convinced him to pursue a double major in Computer & Information Sciences and Electrical and Computer Engineering, and most significantly convinced him to accept a commission in the United States Marne Corps.
Random took to the role of infantry officer well but without much enthusiasm and he didn't miss the paperwork at all when he received admission to the Corps renowned Scout Sniper Program where he performed well again but fell short of the marksmanship necessary to be assigned as an 0317 instead finishing out his time in the Corps as an 0321 Recon Officer.
In 2008 while the 25yr old Marine was trying to decide if he wanted to stay a Marine he was approached by a man with a job offer. Col. Hanson Kerse was one of the men who formed the very first Marine Force Recon units in 1957 but now he was a recruiter and training officer for the organization known in military circles as "The Company". Once his sales pitch was through Jack was on his way to The Farm.
Starting with his time at Camp Peary, Virginia Random would spend the next 12 years of his life working for The Company in one place or another. Field work including, surveillance, infiltration, sabotage, personnel and material recovery (including both kidnapping and hostage rescue), bomb damage assessment, and counter terrorism, and essentially anything else the taskmasters of the S.A.D. could think up occupied almost all of his time. When he wasn't working Jack was in school improving his already impressive computer skills.
His last performance evaluation included the following, "...Random is a sneaky son of a bitch. No target from Servers to Master Locks is safe from him. He is a hell of an asset and I'm not sure if I want to give him a raise and ask him to marry my daughter or if I think we should have him shot to avoid any possibility of him turning his skills against us."
..and then bureaucracy struck.
Budget "adjustments" and a sudden dip in the CIA's popularity with the media led to a number of agents finding themselves without a job. Having been more of an "enjoy it while you have it" guy than a "save it for a rainy day" guy Jack was sitting in a bar in Newport News, Virginia trying to talk himself out of robbing the 3rd National Bank when a representative of Lindgren Security sat down next to him and yet again his life was changed by a timely job offer.
Jacks file is, of course, heavily redacted but includes the following:
He is a top notch Hacker, Infiltator, and Electronics Tech who is also highly qualified in Small Arms, CQB, and Surveillance.
