<div class="floatright">(https://data.whicdn.com/images/245201146/superthumb.jpg?t=1466203304)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Gordon Briggs<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>American<br/><strong>Background:</strong>A Midwestern boy born and raised, like many Gordon would heed the call to arms as the United States joined World War 2. It was his first real experience with the wider world beyond his hometown, both the good and the bad.<br/><br/>Initially part of Operation Torch, he would go on to see action in the Italian campaign as Sicily fell and the Italians flipped to the Allied side. While troops landed on the beaches in Normandy, he and his unit were advancing northwards towards the Gothic Line. While not suffering the brunt that those moving into Germany would, the Gothic Line would herald his first encounter with X Tech. At night the Germans deployed some sort of biological weapon, one that struck men down and left them screaming in agony, before rising again with black eyes and rickety movements. Nothing more than a puppet for some sort of creature that had taken them over (To distinguish from the zombie troopers being used in Poland).<br/><br/>He was the only one from his unit to survive, hiding in the crags of the rocks and clutching to his rifle when reinforcements arrived and the monsters were put down with heavy firepower. It was this encounter which would eventually bring him to the attention of the RPA. It was not the only time he would run into X Tech, but the most notable amongst his record, and he would approach the rest with an increasingly cold demeanor. When approached by the RPA he leapt at the chance to do some good, and put some of his nightmares in the ground.<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/>Physical: 4 Mental: 2 Social: 2<br/><br/><strong>Tags</strong>: Backroom Brawler, Cool under Pressure, Hometown Charm<br/><strong>Flaws</strong>: Insomniac<br/><br/><strong>Agenda:</strong><br/><em>- National</em>: Keep X-Tech out of Soviet control<br/><em>- Personal</em>: Locate the Ahnenerbe secret archives<br/><br/><em>Equipment:</em><br/>M1911 .45 pistol<br/>M4 Bayonet<br/>Notebook
