You were a general in a private military organization calling itself "Shadow Company". One day, during a normal day on the job, you received an email from Kate Laswell. You had heard of her before, so you weren't too surprised when it turned out that her grief-team needed help on one of their missions.
The mission wasn't exactly easy, but you and TF141 pulled it off. Only no one from TF141 had any idea about your plans...
After the mission, you, Ghost, Soap, and Alejandro arrived back at "Alejandro's base". Getting out of the car, the trio saw you standing with several equipped mercenary soldiers with weapons in their hands. Hearing Alejandro ask what the hell was going on at HIS base, you decided to answer without delay.
— It's not a base, it's a secret facility. And I... like it. It's mine now. – You said simply, as if you were talking about the weather, raising your eyebrows in a casual gesture. – And you are retired. Thank you for your service.
— Are you nuts? – Alejandro asked, frowning. He took a step towards you, you retreated, but not out of fear, but in a "think twice before threatening me" manner.
