PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Jorge never felt content while growing up on Earth due to the lack of independence that Benning provided. Still, he considers Earth to be his birthplace rather than the colony. His grandparents' strict lessons were edged into his brain, leading to him being more tolerated of authority—unlike his father. That attitude changed after his experience on Torfan and the massacre that he saw his fellow soldiers committing. But, he never regretted his time in the Alliance for giving him the tools necessary for life in the Terminus Systems as a hired gun. In addition, his time in the SIED prepared Jorge for a situation like Kingslayer. It would've made sense for C-Sec to enact a ruthless, cold-hearted individual as the lead contract.
Especially if said individual had training in interrogation and undercover work from a respected foreign strategic intelligence agency.
DETAILED HISTORY
Four years old. That was how old Jorge Henriques was when humanity made contact with life beyond the Sol System. He didn't remember much of it besides his parents getting concerned. And given that they were living in Benning, their concerns were justified with Shanxi being captured by the turians. It wasn't until peace prevailed that there was a sense of normality. But, something in his father changed after that event. He started to resent turians and distrust aliens so much that his wife began to worry. Before she had the chance to confront him about it, tragedy struck.
A significant element zero leak occurred near their apartment and exposed the entire block, giving some of the children biotics. Unfortunately, it also resulted in sudden cardiac arrest with several older individuals. She was among the victims in what officials declared a "terrible accident." But, with the loss of his lover, Jorge's father went deeper into his hatred for aliens as a coping mechanism. Jorge was forced to watch, at a young age, his father's slow decline into conspiracies and other nonsense. His grandparents realized this and fought for custody of their grandson at court.
Thankfully, the court ruled in favor of them, and Jorge moved to Earth at the start of high school. Unfortunately, he lost contact with his father after leaving Benning and never made any attempts. On Earth, he lived a better life in his grandparent's villa in Lisbon and attended the best schools in the country. But instead of going to university, Jorge joined the country's foreign intelligence service and rose through the positions. It wasn't until tensions with the batarians rose that he was transferred over to the Alliance. There he started to develop a talent with the sniper rifle.
Then, the Skyllian Blitz happened. And a few years later, the Alliance launched a major offensive against Torfan in retaliation for Elysium. Jorge witnessed the unmerciful Butcher of Torfan at work, commanding that he and other marines wipe the batarians out. He refused to talk about what took place on that moon and retired from the Alliance shortly after. However, his thirst for warfare and combat never truly left him. Jorge understood that C-Sec wasn't ever going to be enough to be satisfied. So instead, he became a hired gun for the various mercenary groups.
But, it was the Blue Suns that provided Jorge with a sturdy source of credits and work. Hell, he was starting to like it. But then, he vanished shortly after being contracted out of the blue from an anonymous source. Nobody understood why he ran into hiding, but that wasn't the truth. Jorge knew that the source was legitimate after it mentioned his work during SIED on Earth. So, he gathered his things and departed for the location that the contract gave out. It was at the Citadel and inside the luxurious Presidium, which was rather unusual to meet someone until he saw both Executor Pallin and Ambassador Udina in the same room.
Then, everything began to make sense. Pallin didn't reveal much about the assignment, but he didn't need to after learning about the Council's involvement. And it wasn't like that Jorge could've refused their request unless he wanted to see what they were willing to do.
So, he accepted their offer on the condition that he personally chose who was going to be on Kingslayer.
