For this one I’m thinking this guy is being hunted. He’s a wanted assassin whose name is listed in The Ledger (new idea kinda like Bingo Books)
The easy route would to make him former Special Forces but I’m thinking he’s not American. Russian would be easy too but I’m thinking something different. Still not sure what yet but European of some sort.
He still has a Special Forces background but I’m thinking he was tasked for a special undercover unit and that’s where/when he got most of his tattoos. It’s also when he went rogue.
Maybe it was for money or maybe just an honest mistake.
Maybe he killed an American agent who was corrupt but the blowback came back on him and he’s been targeted ever since.
So we’ve got a couple of options we can go with for this guys background.
Now as far as the pic goes, I’m thinking he’s on his way to Vegas. Maybe he’s been hired to take out someone from the Kangee Tribe, who (spoiler alert) aren’t exactly good guys. But I’m not really seeing this guy as a good guy either, (strictly speaking) The Merc Series likes to play with shades of gray. ?
At some point I see him coming up against The Duncan Brothers, Vegas’ premier bounty hunters. That would make for a good battle/match up.
Could they be the ones to cross his name off The Ledger?
