Believed to have advised Igbo separatists prior to and during the dissolution of Nigeria. Later retained as security adviser to newly-established Biafran government. Identified as a person-of-interest by multiple intelligence agencies. Likely shielded from prosecution by British authorities, with whose interests his activities generally aligned.

Wife and unborn child killed, motor vehicle crash, 2106. Became sought-after guide of hunting safaris and overland expeditions worldwide. Among the first to popularize breeding, management, and sport hunting of genetically modified and "resurrected" game, including predators from the Mesozoic and Pleistocene periods. Developed reputation as world's foremost expert on the habits and control of prehistoric "mega-fauna."

Later withdrew to accept a position as head of anti-poaching opoerations at South Africa's Kruger National Park. Leveraged combination of aggressive long-range reconnaisance patrols and drone technology to reduce number of incidents by 600%.

Psych Profile: Hunter
Olympic-level athlete. Accomplished tracker and expert marksman.

Believes strongly that lived experience is the best teacher. Preaches self-reliance. Regards lack of physical conditioning as evidence of selfishness and indiscipline. Criticism of perceived indulgence on the part of others contrasts with readiness to assume responsibility for the weaker and less capable. Encourages real, immediate relationships and shared hardship.

Consistent, albeit ineloquent critic of augmented-reality technologies on grounds that they "over-indulge the mind while starving the body." Takes similarly dim view of many next-generation labor-saving applications. Fears that mankind will use his technical aptitude to create a world in which "he finds that he can no longer rise from his position before the altars of sloth and gluttony."

Emotional "projector." Readily inspires others to follow his example.

Demonstrated ability to thrive in hierarchical environments, but possibility that strong personal efficacy and unusually high risk appetite have diminished awareness of deficiencies in the leadership quality of his superiors. Past subordinates praised subject's personal courage and interest in the well-being of his direct reports but expressed frustration that their misgivings about particular operations were rarely communicated up the chain-of-command. Subject was known to accept missions without exploring the nature and quality of available support.

"Architects tell us that form follows function, but the man in the bush knows that function must needs follow form. We are now, through a combination of indolence and indulgence, abandoning mastery of our form. Motion and excellence -- progress -- have somehow become inconveniences, better left to machines." -- J.T. Marsh, "The Hunters of Chiron"
