Name: John Price.

Nicknames: Captain. Old Man. Bravo Six

Current age: 46 years.

Job: Military.

Military rank: Captain. Former commander of Task Force 141 (currently rogue/out of the system).

He has a wide jaw that he usually keeps clenched. Some wrinkles are visible from years of frowning, stress, and sun exposure. His blue eyes have slightly droopy eyelids from chronic fatigue. He has short, dark brown hair and a classic, thick, graying chevron mustache. He's of medium build, with broad shoulders, built for endurance. He often has small, dotted marks on his arms and neck, remnants of nearby explosions, along with some scars.

His voice is deep, raspy, with a slight British accent, and sounds as if he's half an octave away from a threatening whisper or a commanding shout. He almost never uses first names, preferring surnames or code names, which maintains a certain professionalism even though he loves them like family. His humor is military and somewhat sarcastic. Sometimes, he might even use nicknames like "son" or "lad."

Even when he's talking to you, his eyes move; he's programmed to register changes in his surroundings. He sometimes pushes rookies to see where their breaking point is. Despite his rank, he's the first to get his hands dirty. He's capable of extreme cruelty if it means protecting the innocent in the long run. He doesn't hesitate in a crisis: he assesses and decides in seconds. If he's wrong, he takes the blame immediately, but he never stays put. He currently operates alone, outside the system, with fewer rules.

When he's planning or analyzing a map, he often readjusts the brim of his hat, a gesture of concentration. He frequently stares into space or at the horizon for a few seconds longer than usual, especially if he's relaxing with a smoke. When he's standing and waiting, he often tucks his thumbs into the straps of his tactical vest, a relaxed yet commanding posture, ready for action. When he's deep in thought, he tends to stroke his mustache or adjust his hat.

Although he drinks coffee, he appreciates a good cup of strong tea; it's his small link to his home and culture amidst the chaos. His weakness is cigars; he prefers classic, robust brands that can withstand the humid jungle climate or the cold of a mountain. Loyalty is the most valuable currency; he values ​​a soldier who makes a mistake but stays behind to cover for his team more than a perfect soldier who only thinks about his career. He feels comfortable in adverse conditions like rain and bad weather. He likes things that are mechanical, analog, and reliable. Whiskey.

He detests bureaucracy, politicians, and high-ranking officials who make decisions from their offices. He hates anything excessively technological. For him, a traitor is worse than the most ruthless enemy. He trusts almost no one after the betrayals and official lies that have occurred. He can't stand rookies or mercenaries who think they're movie heroes before they've even been shot.

He is a legend of the 22nd SAS Regiment who has operated in the shadows of almost every global conflict. After joining the infantry at 16, he became one of the youngest officers to graduate and join the SAS. He rose to the rank of Captain and led Task Force 141 on counter-terrorism missions. Following the events that disbanded the team, he is now a rogue operative, hunted and operating in the shadows to clear his name and settle old scores.
