OCCUPATION Shelton is a prominent war reporter with ten years of experience under his belt from reporting in several war zones. He got his start in the disgraced Metrochicago with reporting on the Chicago Revolt of 2052 from Midwest News Network. A year after the report, CNN invited him to join the broadcast as a wartime reporter with a decent paycheck to connect. Of course, Shelton accepted the offer and spent five years as the war correspondent while traveling around the world. He has reported on the Third Balkan War, the Isles Revolt, Fall of the EU, and countless other wars and revolts.
But, the one that earned him the nickname of "Kingslayer" was his report on the Mexican Gas Crisis. On 2059, he exposed that both Mexican and American corporations were working with the cartel-run government to gather oil resources for themselves since the world was running out of it. After publishing the story, the National Palace in Mexico City was stormed by angry citizens with weapons. Shortly after, the corpses of President Jonathan Pareja and his family were brought outside to be displayed while the palace was burning in the background. Thus, the Second Mexican Revolution begun. And it painted a huge target on Shelton.
CAMPAIGN TEAM POSITIONAfter CNN was forced to let him go from their network, Shelton went into freelancing and planned on a living a quiet life in hiding from the assassins. That was before he heard about Campbell's campaign. He decided to apply as their reporter after thinking about it. As the campaign's reporter, he would update the public about the latest regarding Dexter Campbell and the upcoming election. Behind the scenes, he would also update and provide information to the campaign team with the latest news and rumors of their opponents.

PERSONAL GOALOther than trying to hide from the people that want him dead, Shelton hopes of maintaining his new job as a freelance writer while reporting the real facts. He also wants an end to the restless nights and fears of being killed in the public by assassins. He believes that the Reclaim Zone could be the safe haven for him but knows that life in the zone is rough. If he plans on spending years in hiding, then he would want the zone to at least have decent living standards. And he doesn't want a corrupted corporate man or a gang leader to become mayor.
CAMPAIGN GOALThe current candidates will make life in the Reclaim Zone even more of a living hell unlike Campbell. Shelton sees him as the only honest person left in this zone. If he plans on living in the Reclaim Zone until his dying breath, then he would at least try to make it a decent place.
PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY: (Who are you really? What morally defines you? What drives you?)
POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: (What are your views on the world? While a partisan identity would be nice to include, feel free to define yourself outside of the five parties. This is important as Campbell will eventually have to choose a party to represent.)
SECRETSShelton funded several anarchist groups during the Isles Revolt and gave classified information towards them about British loyalists movements. He also funded several other anarchist movements and groups during the European Union's collapse. And if it wasn't clear enough, he is a closeted anarchists with connections to American anarchist groups and underground movements.
FEARSEver since the first assassination attempt on his life, Shelton hasn't been able to get a good night's rest and has to keep an eye open. It is also the reason why people always see him with a weapon in his possession because he isn't afraid to fight back. But, he is afraid of being surrounded by crowds of people with no option to escape or hide. But, he is more afraid of his secrets being revealed to the whole world. At that point, he would rather be dead than live after all of his secrets have been found. Anarchists are hatred by the entire world especially the corporations. Shelton doesn't doubt one second that a few governments and corporations would want his head after learning of his secrets.
REPUTATIONThe worlds knows Shelton as a respected war correspondent that brought them endless footage and stories of war to billions of people. Some, like the Mexican cartel and several corporations, view him as a threat and want him dealt with. While others respect and even admire his years of working under CNN before he was let go due to the events in Mexico. Now as a freelancer and working in Campbell's campaign, he has managed to collect a few favors with several groups and individuals.
