Santiago stands at five feet nine inches tall. He is a strong, lean man in his earlier years of adulthood. 
Name: Santiago Moreno
Nickname: N/A
Age: 24

Place of Birth: Bogota, Columbia
Family: Juan Moreno (Father), Maria Moreno (Mother), Sandra Sanchez (Sister), Diego Moreno (Brother) - All living in Columbia
Occupation: Security Contractor (Taking both legal and illegal job offers); Ex-member of FARC

Personality: Santiago's personality has been heavily influenced by his dramatic and violent childhood. On the outside, Santiago seems to be perfectly normal. He has a charismatic smile and swagger to his walk. Santiago acts as if he cares when someone decides to tell them something personal, and he can convince the average numb skull to do what he wants most of the time. But that Santiago is only a single side of the coin. On the other side, Santiago is a rage filled, violent man. His outbursts will always leave something broken, and anyone with Santiago when one of these outbursts occurs is in severe danger. While many believe Santiago to have bi-polar disorder, they don't dare tell him upfront. The intelligent ones don't speak of the subject at all.

Mister Moreno, despite his emotional flaws, possesses a sharp mind. When he can’t talk or beat his way out of a situation, Santiago will sober up and start to use the natural intelligence he was gifted at birth. When he decides to actually put this mind of his to work, Santiago can be a force to be reckoned with. The only problem is getting him to actually think. Usually, Santiago’s tactical mind kicks in when the bullets or punches start to fly. On a rare occasion, Santiago will decide to do something extraordinary in the face of an overwhelming problem. Most of the time, he’ll usually decide just to hit something and yell until something changes or he has to change things himself.

History: Santiago was conceived in a time of war and a place of destruction. This place was Columbia, during an increase in FARC activity, especially against civilians. His family did their best to avoid the civil war, and it worked for awhile. But when Santiago was eleven years old, the Moreno family had been pulled into the war as well. Santiago and his brother were kidnapped by the FARC and forced to join their ranks, threatening to kill their families if they didn’t. So the brothers took up arms in a battle they didn’t wish to fight. Being children, the two boys had it impossibly hard during training. Their immature muscles were forced to work over time to keep up. There had been times Santiago had contemplated taking his own life and taking his chances with the afterlife, but Diego had helped his brother through the mess. A few months away from his twelfth birthday, Santiago and his brothers were officially deployed under the FARC flag against the Colombian Liberation Army.

The two of them gained knowledge of war that would have drove most children to insanity. But they fought through it, for the sakes of their family. Santiago mastered the ways of warfare in the jungles of South America and the ruined streets of burnt out cities. Most of it was a complete blur for Santiago. Something he never thought about, as if it had happened to some other person and not himself. But there was one day that stuck out in Santiago’s mind like it had happened the day before. The first day Santiago had been ordered to fire on civilians. Every bone in Santiago’s body told him to turn and run; to drop the gun in his hands. Anything but what he was ordered to do. But he pulled the trigger, and gunned the terrified people down. That was the day Santiago changed into the monster he is today.

Eventually, the two brothers were set free and allowed to return to their family. Santiago had been seventeen when they arrived back at home and were greeted by crying family members. The mixture of joy and sadness that had overwhelmed them all that day finally ended, and they decided to take the next logical step. The Moreno’s moved to the United States to escape the war. They had moved to Topeka, Kansas, to live quiet suburban lives. But Santiago couldn't hold down a normal job for a month before he tried looking for work that better suited him. He found himself employment in a private security company working in The Circuit. The first few jobs were rather dull bodyguard work at private corporations who were a bit too paranoid. Then Santiago started to participate in less legal work. He began to work as a hired gun for big time mob bosses and corporations working under the table. This work brought in a significant amount of income for Santiago, and he spent it wisely and took private schooling classes. Nothing unnecessary or advanced, only the basic things he needed to look like less of a meat head.

One particular job landed Santiago in Justice, CA. The moment he entered the city Santiago knew this was his kind of place. There was always going to be work to do, what with the city being a breeding ground for criminals and the police needing every hand on deck. So he decided to move to Justice permanently.
