History: Captain Nicholas Grayeson comes from a family of farmers in the pan-handle of Texas, all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Due to this long, illustrious family history: Nicholas knew early on that he would be a member of the military. During his tenure at school, he passed his classes flawlessly and was accepted by his teachers as a natural scholar who would be a vital piece in college. When he arrived to high school, he continued to shine through his academic studies and was a natural leader when playing football for the school. It was also during this time, he enrolled into the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) to get a taste of the military life. Upon graduation as class valedictorian, he announced he would not go into college immediately and was instead going into the military; stunning his teachers, classmates, and family members. Two days later, he signed his contract and was shipped to San Diego for recruit training for the Marine Corps. Like his years in school, Nicholas proved himself as an insightful platoon guide and graduated as the series' honor graduate. From here, he transferred to his follow-on course at Infantry Training Battalion on Camp Pendelton; again graduating as the Honor Graduate. With his last assignment of training, Grayeson reported to Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC) to study in becoming a Reconnaissance Marine.

Upon completion of his follow-on training a year after BRC, Grayeson was assigned to the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion in Okinawa, Japan as his first tour of duty. During his tenure with Third Recon, he traveled all over the Orient and trained with the different countries; while also assisting in seizing and destroying various drug/human trafficking rings. When his team deployed to the Middle East, he learned the different cultures there and rose to the rank of Sergeant (granting him the ability to lead a small-team). It was during his time here, that Nicholas lost his first man and almost his entire team in an improvised explosive device (IED) ambush by local militants. Though they fought off their enemy, this event left a lasting impression of his superiors and some of their bone-headed decisions. Returning to Japan, Nicholas transferred to the First Recon Battalion on Camp Pendelton; continuing on a fast-tracked deployment cycle to the Middle East. This fast deployment rotation, atop of the commendation medals he had garnered, Grayeson was granted a field-promotion to second lieutenant (which was granted full-time after returning state-side). As the years passed, with countless engagements in the Middle East and some in South America (including two more promotions); Nicholas decided to hang-up the uniform and retired early from military service.

Immediately after passing the colors to his replacement, Nicholas was approached by various companies to go into contract work. The work was essentially his previous work, but with better pay and benefits. Taking up the opportunity, he became a contractor for a multi-national agency who didn't care about the political background of their area of operations (so long as they were paid well). This work took him all over the world to new and some familiar places; especially with work in Africa. While working as a security detail for a oil rigging operation in Ethiopia, Grayeson was approached with another opportunity to work with an environmentalist group against the global giant: InGen. It was an odd request, especialy since he had down contract work with the same company they were asking him to work against. But, when the dollars flashed in his face and the dossier on why they contract was being offered; Nicholas got his team together and was on a plane to their rendezvous point to meet their employers. The job was easy: protect their people, do whatever they ask, and get back alive to be paid in full.

Extra: Nicholas is proficient in various forms of martial arts, most prominently in Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) and Japanese Kick-Boxing. In addition to his hand-to-hand prowess, he is extremely handy with all types of rifles and sidearms due to his reconnaissance and contracting history. Grayeson has been known to defy the orders of his superiors and will terminate a contract if the cost outweighs the benefit.
