Background

Leader was born to a working class family as a Human in Seattle. His parents died in the events of Crash 2.0, young and without family he went to the army. There they cut off his hair, but it looked alright, they marched and they sang, they all became friends as they learned how to fight. He found his new family in the army, he and his comrades did everything together, the training sure was hard but thanks to his ability to motivate and inspire his teammates they all managed to pass the exams, as he went into service he was quickly promoted as squad leader, his comrades gave him the nickname Leader to mock him. Leader started to enjoy his live again, he had family and a girlfriend. Live seemed good. then the other day he went on a mission on the border of the UCAS the objective wasn't uncommon his squad had to wipe out a critter nests near a city. The mission went well and they only had one more nest ahead, they checked the surroundings and went in for the elimination this nest should have been about 10 wolves some of them awakened but in reality it were a pack of feral barghest, someone had given them wrong information probably one of the scouts or maybe even a higher up. The barghests slaughtered most of his comrades, he was wounded as well but somehow some of them managed to survive. Leader and his other comrades were hospitalized and after they healed up Leader got dishonorable discharged without further reasoning.

Once the Army had abandoned him he got into a downward spiral first he lost his friends, he couldn't find a decent job since all he really learned was fighting so he slowly lost his money and with his money gone he began to give everyone else the fault for his misfortune that ultimately drove his girlfriend away. Leader was miserable and deeply depressed on the verge of suicide the only thing that kept him going was his Mentor Spirit. after three years of being on the bottom of society he made a promise to himself to get back on his feet again and help others who are as mistreated as himself, and to get justice for himself as well. He wanted to help others and find out what led to his dishonorable discharge but for that he first had to get his shit together. Leader did a couple of favors to some people and earned some nuyen so he was able to get a weeks rent. Then one of the persons he helped out sent him the "address" of the shadowhaven.
