Distinctive Feature: Wears a dress jacket and a hockey mask.

Current Issue/Conflict: Since he skipped bail, he now has three seperate Bail Bondsman Enforcers chasing him. It's not been fun when they get close, and if he doesn't manage it well, he could lead them to the whole crew.

Team Responsibility: Control Freak- In charge of civilian and guard control.

Personality: Adrian is smart. He never excelled in school, but he has a far higher than average IQ, and his police file notes him as a man of significant intelligence. He's taken speech lessons to hide his highly distinct accent, and he often switches between accents and voices to throw people off. He’s been a crook for a long time, and he knows the game.

He’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie, as any long-time heister and thief has to be, but he’s also a solid man when you need to be, and exudes a presence. A snap of his fingers gets people moving,and there’s nothing quite like a sharp dressed man holding a chrome revolver to grab attention, especially if he’s screaming at you in a Texas accent.

History: You want a man born for crime? Look no further than Adrian Cooke. Born in Sydney, Australia, he didn't exactly have the greatest upbringing in the world. His father was a drunken idiot who couldn't hold down a job and was a little too handsy with his son and wife. After one too many drinks (and backhands,) his wife left him, taking the young Adrian with him. She was a better parental figure, although honestly it would be hard not to be, but Adrian still didn’t excel in school, scraping through high school by the absolute skin of his teeth.

After he was done, he picked himself up and joined the Australian army, starting what would be a short, but successful career, as he took to soldiering well. Unfortunately for the world, his officers didn't take to him. After toeing the line one times too many, he was out on his ass with nothing but a dishonourable discharge for four years of service.

After he was done, he left the country entering the land of the free with nothing but a change of clothes. He bought his first personal firearm soon after, and his first major crime was the armed robbery and assault of a wealthy couple outside of a Boston theatre at age 23.

The only time he's been arrested was when he just didn't duck out of a job fast enough. When his bail was set however, he skipped town and left it running, leaving a lot of angry people in his wake.

After this, he started popping up opportunistically, bagging jewellery or ripping off drug dealers for years. Soon however, he was getting more attention than he liked, and besides, he wasn’t making enough to keep up with his desires. Searching on the parts of the web that the police hate, he met up with Donny. The rest? History.

Skills: He’s a military man, and knows the deal when it comes to both the cops and the jobs he’s on. He’s a smart man too, and whilst more of a bellower than a smooth talker, there’s nobody that’s going to disobey him in the bank.

Name: Alexander K. (what career criminal would give his full name?)
Age: 33 (I hope it is alright that he is a little over the age limit, it makes his CV more plausible)

Skills:Trained in mountaineering, HALO/HAHO, served as a designated engineer and driver during his time in the SOF, Interrogation techniques, tracking and evasion training, SERE trained, certified psychologist. Therefor reading and manipulating people thanks to his psychology degree, excellent tactician due to his service as an officer. (All the single skills that are taught in the representative units would be too much to list).

Current Issues/Conflicts: Other than the fact that he has to take painkillers occasionally when his injury acts up and suffers from slight survivors guilt depression followed by irrational violent outbreaks, there is not much to Alexander. Since he works on a freelance basis he is more or less neutral.

Personality: Tends to react aggressively towards threats, shows an immense killing intent to get rid of them fast which probably roots in his fear making the wrong decision at the right time. Yet trough his business like mannerism that he keeps up to cover those personal traits, his actions sometimes seem irrational but Alexander does very well see the long term effects of his decisions. He is a very torn man, a man who is two faced,per say. One the man behind the trigger who is not scared to burden his consciousness , the other a man who knows that it will never make him rich as long as he does it for flag and country and that´s why he seeks career opportunities. Some might see him as liability was it not for his extreme loyalty towards the contract giver, for the duration of the contract of course. Perhaps he still sees them as some kind of mission, but nobody knows it for sure.

History/Bio: Though Born in Russia, Alexander only spent a small part of his life there. As the son of immigrants he had quiet the trouble going to school in Germany, especially the language barrier has been severe before he mastered German. During his youth and teens Alexander sociallised mostly with people like him, immigrants, which gave him access to a vast network of nepotism inside his now home town. With 7 his father sent him to Judo classes, the first contact with fighting at all. He continued to train different martial arts throughout his life, which led him to also hitting the gym and track in his high school period. While attending school he forged friendships with many kids like him and quickly came to an understanding that as a minority some doors were open to him, which led to contact with drugs and firer arms in early youth. He knew too good what came from drugs since he experienced a lot of misery and violence caused by them, yet the hunger for money and prestige outweighed. At the age of 19 the troubled Alexander dropped out of college, he saw little sense in what he was doing as he always felt a higher call in life, the one to find his purpose. Against the urge of his close ones and relatives, which tried to convince him to search that in another college to maybe find what he liked, Alexander joined the Foreign Legion to get some distance between him and his current , boring existence. He thought that way he might get another perspective on live so he signed up for one mandatory 5 year contract and ended up in the 2nd REP Airborne Regiment´s GCP. After his home coming he realized that not only he but many of his comrades were troubled by their experiences, as a result of this he became urged to help people like those. Alexander took upon studying Psychology. After 3 years and holding a Major degree, the call of the war on terror got a hold of him, this time under a different flag. The German, as he still held his German passport.
He signed a contract for 6 years, mandatory amount for the KSK, before attending the A&S for officers. Having fought in Africa, south-east Asia, the middle east and south America, spending most of his time in the GCP of the 2nd REP, Alexander had no problems passing the OCS and Assessment. During a night jump with gear he hurt his back while landing, his backpack did not deploy properly so he hit the ground with a total weight of 140kg plus the 9m/s fall. That resulted in a injury of the right knee, pelvis and him being medically outcomissioned, per say this left him without a job and a lot of skills which were useless on the civil market.

Upon his discharge Alexander took the French citizenship but stayed Germany to finish his Masters, with 33 he was a made man (or so he thought) and working as a intermediary between the MAD and DGSE while studying.
Though life never really goes the way you want it, the job did not last long so Alexander got back to some old friends, initially taking jobs as an enforcer, evolving to a gun for hire for heist crews. And that is how he ended up in Baltimore.
