BOMBARDIER would have graduated at the top of his class in Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the Imperial College, London, had he not obliterated half of the William Penny Laboratory in an after-hours project. His reputation led to an appointment for Defence Science & Technology at Porton Down, where he excelled in the weapons programme and started creating robotic drones.
Following capture by the RED SHADOWS in a raid, he was forced to work for The Black Major after witnessing all but one of his family members tortured and executed. A later Special Action Force (SAF) rescue operation tragically revealed the last family member was in fact a sleeper agent that still remains at large. BOMBARDIER was then recruited into the Special Weapons Force, which develops much of the equipment used in S.A.F. operations.
From Captain "Skip" Campbell's Files:
"Bombardier bears the psychological scars of his incarceration. He has managed to pass every medical examination, but there have been fleeting moments of rage, paranoia or fear. Although there have been several requests to attach him to other units, I want to be there to help him if the situation arises."
Variations
