=• History •= Damien Cardoni was born to a dying mother and father that was no where to be found. He was awarded to the state who immediately handed him off to one of the many church run orphanages through out the city. Damien grew up with at lest two dozen other children coming and going at anytime. He never really made any connections with the children, and as soon as he could read he was trying to assist all the adults with chores and tasks of labor.

As he grew up Damien quickly became a favorite at the orphanage/church, always assisting with repairs and watching over the younger children. He had a strong sense of justice and morals that made the priests hopeful he would join the cloth, however at sixteen he cut out on his own and in two years was convinced to join the United States Army.

Again he found a place for him, and while in the Army he truly grew into the man many thought he was meant to be. He found a brotherhood and family he never knew and the armed forces could barely keep up with him in offering skills. In the matter of a few years he had excelled at all that could be handed to him and at the age of only twenty he was asked to try his hand at the Green Berets training camp.

It was here he found friends, brothers, and as he had been over heard saying on more then one occasion, "I truly feel this is where I am meant to be. I have never been happier in my life." Damien was an ideal soldier, intelligent, versatile, trustworthy, capable, and skilled. His mind took on new challenges and ideas, chewing through them and growing with each day.

The media loved him as well. He was noble, just, fair, and ideal soldier for the times, and not a bad looking guy either. Never able to be truly photographed with his real name, or in action (outside of field duty in the middle east).

Damien spent a lot of time with the same unit, as time went on they took up the name 'Orphan Squad' in honor of him. As they started to get into more and more covert detail the six of them took a call sign of Orphan, followed by a number. Damien was known as Orphan 01.

Damien and his team were active from day one of the War on terror to their last mission ending on June 17th, 2011. They were in transit home when enemy fire shot down their helicopter. Damien was pronounced dead and his body was never recovered from enemy hands.

His funeral was held with only a priest and the grounds keeper of the cemetery was present. The remaining members of Orphan Squad retired and went their separate ways a year later.

=• Combat Training •= Damien Cardoni has no known super powers. He is a highly trained and very skilled human being.

The years of training Damien received make him a formidable combatant and great asset to all teams. Able to lead small teams and large units with his knowledge and assistance, many have been thankful, and were able to return home from battles no one thought could be survived.

Damien received multiple specialty training outside his MOS. Some, but not nearly all, are Combat Driver Qualification, MFF, and SFSC. He also received training in advanced technologies, prototype weapons and equipment, demolitions, and a multitude of languages.

He employs a variety of tools taken from enemy bases and hands to fight the good fight with.

=• Psychological evaluation •= Damien is a versatile man, able to fit into any social role. he melds into being any archetypal persona a situation needs, and some of his identities he uses actually have their own personalities formed.

When actually being himself, Damien is a usually a quiet and stoic person. When he speaks it is clear and concise, trying to optimize the amount of time needed to get a point or instruction across. he also comes off as being compassionate and understanding in his speech and does enjoy a good laugh, drink and fun times with friends. He knows he is a bit idealistic at times, and some what old fashioned in his concepts of justice and morality, but to him its just who he is.

All in all Damien is normally an easy guy to get along with and just wants to have friends he can make good memories with. Some of his fake identities may be rough around the edges, but unless a situation asks for it he very rarely seeks to upset or attack anyone in conversation.

Damien possesses no superhuman abilities and succeeds solely through ingenuity and the rigorous training of his military upbringing, a finely honed killer instinct and an extensive arsenal of weapons culled from fallen foes and military allies.

=• OOC knowledge •= -Obviously Damien did not actually die in the Helicopter crash. He is believed to have perished as the reports state. By the time anyone got to the wreckage it had been picked through and stripped by locals, leaving almost nothing behind.

-Damien was betrayed by the other five members of his team for money. They were transporting a large number of Artifacts and Art pieces from a Mesopotamian dig site. He was shot once in the back, the bullet puncturing his lung, then kicked from the helicopter to the deserts below. Damien has no idea how he survived the fall or getting out of the desert, and describes it all as a sort of adrenaline shock and haze.

- I do not speak any of the languages this toon does, nor have I ever spent any time in the military. I have done research and understand the roles and ranks from the outside looking in. I in no way mean any of this to seem offensive, if it some how comes off that way.
