History
Vessel grew up in a troll camp in the wilderness of Amazonia. Vessel had a very strong clan and at a young age he was trained as a hunter and a fighter. Just before Vessel was to complete his 1st stage of combat training his camp was raided by Allied German State forces. The Germans were at battle with opposing world forces and unknown to the western world were traveling to remote areas, trapping orks and trolls, and controlling them via an unknown military "signal". This signal was either Matrix connected or bound by powerful magic, Vessel never knew what hit him. The Germans captured all the young trolls and destroyed the rest. The overwhelming firepower of the military machine was too great for the ferocity of the wilderness trolls. Vessel and several of his comrades where shipped backed to Germany. They were chipped, trained, and soon began running missions for the AGS. It's unknown to Vessel how they managed to retain control over the trolls, but there was something or someone mobile that kept the "signal" going. Vessel and his fellow Amazonians did well with their military training. The hand to hand combat they had learned from their tribe along with the military weapons training from the Germans made them versatile and furious combatants. Vessel was assigned to a special Troll/Ork attack force comprised of Amazonian frontline attackers and German officers. The group became very close and made a name for themselves in the AGS attack logs. Their confidence grew high and their missions began to become more and more dangerous. During a particularly nasty raid on an enemy encampment Vessels' squad was taken by surprise from grenade and mortar fire. Their attack strategy had been to come in from a waterway, unknown to them the enemy had spy drones track them from miles above the water. During the fight several of Vessel's comrades where killed and their boats sank. During this fight something also disrupted the "signal" that had been controlling Vessel for so many years. As it became evident that the fight was lost Vessel scrambled to a damaged boat and got the hell out of dodge. His exodus was noted by four fellow solders whom also followed Vessel. Without the control of the signal Vessel longed to return to Amazonia. The four remaining German officers didn't want to face their superiors to report a loss, so they removed all tracking capable gear, and hoped that the Germans would write them off as being dead. Once Vessel was back in Amazonia he sought employment with the Ares company, and is now trying to figure out what a soldier should do with no home, no family, and an anger management problem.
