Personality: Rivera is angry all the time. His temper is hot and extremely dangerous. Fortunately, he is also a master of control. Although he can be prodded to frustration and annoyance fairly easily, it takes a concerted effort to drive him to all out anger. Once that happens, all hell breaks loose.

Early on, Rivera learned to channel his massive temper into controlled, directed bursts of violence used for a purpose. In spite of his early years as an assassin, he now prefers to leave his opponents alive whenever possible. That doesn't mean he won't hesitate to kill if he feels he has to in order to survive or to protect someone he cares for.

The list of people he cares about is short. His word is his bond. It takes quite a lot to impress Rivera and even more to earn his trust. Once his trust is earned, he would follow you right into the gates of Hell if necessary.

He is an animal lover and extremely protective of children. He does not like guns, although he is an expert in their use. He is also highly intelligent, although he plays his intelligence down in most situations. Being underestimated, more often than not, plays to his advantage.

Bio: He lived a remarkably boring life. He showed absolutely no signs of interest in military service. Then one day he disappeared without a word. After several years he joined a black ops program that worked closely with the CIA, at that point most of his official file becomes blacked out. His last mission was fubar from the get go. He was the only survivor but he allowed them to think he was dead. He retired and started to live the quiet life in a little village, but an African general came into the village recruiting, raping, and killing anyone who refused him. Rivera bided his time, waited till general was down for the night, he then worked his way through the soldiers and finally ending the general's life with the tin cup on the bedside table. The general was the first son of the country's leader; Rivera was forced to flee the country. He is currently wanted in six countries with a combined bounty of $700,000. After wracking up his fourth bounty & sixth warrant he returned to the United States for the first time since completing basic training.
