It's been a year and six months since his "honorable" discharge. Sixteen years of hard work, and utter devotion to the mission, and his country, and only benefits, and the scars across his body to prove for it. His PTSD after a mission gone wrong had been too big of a tarnish on his profile, leading to his dismissal. At least the call for private work never stopped. He had always had gray feelings on mercenary work, but bad people had to be dealt with. If not him than who?
A nasty bar fight him up here. The prison was medium security, his side of the institution more heavily guarded, the violent offenders isolated from the minor felons and misdemeanors. He hadn't needed to prove his strength to any of the other inmates. His stature and disposition all to terrifying for gen pop.
