Name: Mallory 'Mal' Cameron

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Faction: Special Response Initiative (Government counter-terrorism organization)

Area of Expertise: Heavy gunnery, demolitions, riot control

Personality: Friendly and warm-hearted, Mallory is the last person you would expect to be part of the elite SRI. A risk-taker with a strong moral compass, he doesn't hesitate to break or bend rules in order to do what he thinks is right. 

Strengths: 

- Explosives expert: To Mallory, the usage of explosives is an art form. He is a genius with any sort of explosives, be it rudimentary black powder bombs or advanced plastic explosives, knowing how to shape, prime and fire them in order to achieve maximum destructive efficiency with minimal collateral damage.
- Tactical planner: Although he is not a 'big picture' sort of person, he is capable enough to be trusted with leading small-scale operations where speed and success takes precedence over all other considerations.
- Chaotic Good: Does what is right. The rules can go screw themselves.
- Skilled and strong: Military-grade hand-to-hand training, coupled with his natural strength makes him a very dangerous and tough opponent in close quarters.

Weaknesses: 

- Morally conflicted: While he works for the Government, he disagrees with them on some issues and has turned away more extreme missions before. This had earned him a black mark on his name, meaning that his chance of being promoted is incredibly slim. It also makes him a target for government surveillance.
- Go loud or go home: As a demolitions expert, he has very little experience in being stealthy. The missions which require finesse and clandestine work often relegates him to the backup, shit-hits-the-fan extraction squad.
- Chaotic Good: Has been caught breaking the rules before, but his otherwise spotless track record and high success rate has protected him from further investigation...So far.

Background: Mallory was, by all accounts, a very normal and very average child. He did not stand out from his peers at all and never pushed himself to do better than what was expected of him. Like his father before him, he joined the military once he was of age, but found himself transferred to the Special Response Initiative, where they thought his skill in close combat would be better used. For the first few years, he carried out his missions with enthusiasm, eagerly putting down resistance cells, capturing rebels and putting them in prison. However, as he interrogated more and more rebels, as well as entering the larger regional headquarters of various rebel groups, he began to see things from their point of view. He began to see just how the government, while meaning well, had long since overstepped its boundaries. It was this gradual exposure to the rebel ideals that opened his eyes, and made him decide that sometimes, the law is not always right.

As a squad-level commander, he tries his best to prevent his men from being too tough on captured rebels. He does his best to be as lenient as possible towards rebels who are merely speaking their mind, but he will also do his utmost to lock away those who use violent methods and harm innocent civilians. Mallory threads a very thin line between the government and the rebels, and only time will tell how that will work out for him.

Appearance: Mallory stands at a relatively tall height of 5'9", with dark brown hair and eyes of the same colour. His hair is kept short, as per SRI regulations. His slender build hides his true strength, and often he uses that to his advantage. He usual attire when on duty consists of his black, grey and white camouflage uniform, his maroon beret and a pair of steel-toe boots. When on a mission, he simply throws body armour and a load bearing vest over his usual clothes and swaps his beret for a combat helmet.
