Knowledge: Acquaintances and knowledge in african matters, gunrunners, warlords, personnel.<br/><strong>Background:</strong>Eric was born in the never recognized state of Rhodesia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesia). Eager to fight for his country and the survival of the whites in the country, aged 16, he joined the reserves of the Rhodesian Security Forces and fought in the civil war now known as "Rhodesian Bush War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesian_Bush_War)". When, in 1979, the war ended and Zimbabwe was born he left the country for South Africa where he joined the ranks of paramilitary forces that then became the Executive Outcomes. In the '80s and '90s, both before and after the apartheid regime he took part in several operations, long term fighting campaigns, logistic support and training, blitzes and coup d'état all around sub saharan Africa. At the end of the '90s the international pressure on PMCs brought the closure of firms like Executive Orders and Sandline International. For who had made fighting a job for a lifetime there was little option but to recede in the shady folds of conflicts and start accepting questionable employers.<br/>In more technological places wars are fought in the distance: rifles can deliver a bullet thousands of yards away and timers let people put bombs and walk away long before the blast. But in Africa war is still a personal matter, death is often delivered from a machete distance. After a few jobs Eric grew sick of the situation but had no other option: he was too old to revert to civilian, then he knew too many secrets to leave undisturbed. When WTI came along he happily made the switch.<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Muscle.<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>
