[b]Name:[/b] Isam Hajjar
[b]Age:[/b] 23 
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Codename:[/b] He prefers not to be known for where he's from. Is affectionately called Oneshot on the field. 

[b]Role on team:[/b] Skilled Marksman and sniper

[b]Personality:[/b] Isam hasn't had a particularly easy life, and as such, he easily sympathizes with the struggles of others. He values dignity, and as such, has always scolded teammates and coworkers that mock the villains they defeat. Having been on the other side of those bars, he knows very well that even villains have a story. He's a patient, collected, and occasionally stoic man. Calloused by a life of war, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty, but only for reasons he sees as just. His personal flaws would be a lack of faith in himself; he's never forgiven himself for his actions in the past, and they continue to haunt him. He's always afraid that he'll screw up and hurt the people he's come to know as family. Despite what some may see as a stiff and serious personality, he's been known to have a snarky sense of humor now and then. 

[b]Weapon/skills:[/b] His specialty is firearms, although they're hard to use without killing or seriously injuring his opponents. Isam typically makes non-lethal shots, and he rarely ever misses. Aside from his guns, he carries a combat knife that was given to him by an American soldier. It's nothing special; just a standard military issued knife. 
He has extensive military training, along with a few years of SHIELD training under his belt. His skills include combat, tactical and strategic planning, espionage, and, unfortunately, torture methods. 
He's multi-lingual, speaking Arbic, Kurdish, Polish, English, German, and Portuguese (in that order) fluently. He can speak some French and Mandarin, can read Russian. He still speaks with a somewhat strong accent.

[b]Other:[/b] Isam was experimented on by scientists hired by the Iraqi government with the purpose of creating their own super soldiers. Instead of using a serum, they tried to use technology. Isam's heart was removed and replaced by a machine, the bionic heart. It allowed him a longer stamina, more efficient muscles, shorter recovery time, and durability. Although it was considered a success, he still wasn't quite Steve Rogers. He wasn't super strong, fast, or agile. Not until he was given SHIELD's serum. The heart is still in place, as removing it would kill him. 
[hider=The bionic heart]A very Iron Man-ish device that's embedded in his chest. While it provides him greater stamina and a more efficient body, it also serves as his greatest weakness. It's a pretty little target sitting right in the middle of his chest; if damaged, he's down for the count.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Isam stands at 5'11" and has a decent muscle build. He has medium brown skin, brown eyes, curly black hair that's shoulder length (often kept up in a ponytail), and facial hair that is subject to change, depending on his mood.

[b]History:[/b] Isam was born and raised in Iraq, if one could call his upbringing 'raising'. He lived in a small village with his mother, his father having been killed in war. After Operation Desert Fox in 1998, the military began to beef up for what they felt was the beginning of a long war. Isam was one among many child soldiers stolen away in the night and forced to enlist. He was seven years old at the time. 

Isam was taught that America was an evil place, and that its soldiers didn't deserve mercy. He was required to watch 3 hours of propaganda films a day, after the 14 hours of training his was subjected to. Come 2003, The Iraq War began. Isam was deployed in the battlefield. It seemed that the American soldiers hadn't been ready to fight twelve year olds, and Isam was taught to take advantage of this. He never liked war, but he was good at it. It wasn't long before he was being used to teach other children how to fight, how to kill. 

When he wasn't blowing up camps and shooting down enemy soldiers, Isam was used to gather intel from prisoners. There was something about being tortured by a child that made full grown men crack quicker. He never enjoyed his job, nor did he take pride in it, but he was taught that what he was doing was right. He was told that this was justice. 

At age seventeen, Isam was chosen to become the first super solider fighting for Iraq. He didn't volunteer; he wasn't given that option. He was taken away from his bunk in the middle of the night and driven through the desert to a secret facility. There, he was drugged, strapped down to a table, and subjected to the brutal surgery that implanted the bionic heart in his chest. When he awoke, he wasn't too happy about it. 

To prevent him from fighting and destroying their lab, Isam was taken down to the lower level of the facility and locked up until he could be brainwashed by more war propaganda. While down there, he met several American soldiers who had been captured. They were being experimented on; they were injured, starved, and scared. Yet still, they didn't see him as an enemy. They saw him as a misguided kid, betrayed by his own people. They took him under their wing, treated him like a comrade. Since his enlistment, Isam had never experienced such kind treatment. He began to see that all the things he'd been taught over the years were lies. He slowly realized the monster his military had forced him to become. 

A few months after being locked up under the lab, American forces stormed in to save their men. The captured soldiers insisted that Isam be taken with them. He was taken back to an American camp, the very kind he used to set fire to, and was treated for wounds, fed, and taken care of. Of course, they tried to coax information out of him, but he didn't have much to give them. He spent a few weeks at the camp until word of the kid with a super heart implant reached SHIELD back in the States. It wasn't long before they came to collect him.

At eighteen, Isam was taken in by SHIELD for research purposes. He wasn't keen on the idea of being someone else's lab rat, but at least these people were kinder. They asked him for his opinion, and actually cared when he gave it to them. He became more willing to help them. After another year of therapy, adjusting to his new surroundings, and officially becoming an American citizen, Isam was recruited into SHIELD. At nineteen, he was one of the youngest trainees there; youngest, but also one of the most qualified. With his military training under his belt, he only needed a few more years to hone his skills, and to decide just what kind of person he wanted to be. No longer forced to put on a stony face and ignore his conscience, Isam became what many saw as a good man. He was gentle when he needed to be, strong when he [i]had[/i] to be, and was always firm in what he saw as right. Because of this, he was chosen as a candidate for the new Project: Rebirth.
