Damien Scott (Reimagined)

Damien Sullivan Scott was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. His father was an alcoholic and abusive who left the family after a physical confrontation. Growing up in Detroit, Scott was a star athlete and popular with girls. He supplemented his mother's income with money earned bagging groceries. Just a few days after Scott graduated from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army. He decided to become an infantryman.

After completing basic combat training and then advanced individual training at Fort Benning, Scott was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division as an infantryman in the 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment. He later attended the U.S. Army Airborne School and then Ranger School, earning the Ranger Tab. Soon after that, Scott went through Ranger indoctrination training and was then assigned to the 1st Ranger Battalion. A little while after his promotion to Sergeant, he attended the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta Assessment and Selection Course. Upon its successful completion, Scott went on to the Operator Training Course. After completing that course, he joined Delta Force. Scott initially served in an assault troop, but was later assigned to a reconnaissance and surveillance troop.

With numerous commendations, he left the Army after ten years of service. Soon after, Scott found employment as a security contractor with a private military company. At some point, his exemplary work during U.S. government contracts caught the attention of a high-level official with the Defense Intelligence Agency, Colonel Eleanor Grant. After reviewing his records, she believed Scott would be perfect for a newly-established and highly unconventional anti-terrorist unit within the DIA. In short order, he was offered a position in an elite military black ops organization called Section 20.

So top-secret that it officially doesn't exist, Section 20 is a high-tech tactical operations unit that focuses on high-risk, top-priority targets. Commanded by Colonel Grant, it functions as a highly sophisticated mobile intelligence unit with the capability to move from country to country anywhere in the world, sometimes covertly, sometimes with the agreement of the local government. All of its work is unofficial and "off the books." That allows its small group of operatives to operate independent of the U.S. national security apparatus and therefore disregard various laws and international treaties. The missions tasked to Section 20 are deniable covert and clandestine operations that would be completely disavowed by the U.S. government if ever made public. They include assassinations, false-flag actions, clandestine insertion and extraction of operatives, and providing secret military assistance to foreign governments in their counterterrorism efforts.

Scott enthusiastically accepted the offer and joined Section 20. In his capacity as a Section 20 operative, he engages in both covert direct action and special reconnaissance operations, as well as clandestine intelligence collection assignments that often involve unilateral espionage operations in which he assumes a false identity and goes deep undercover in order to identify targeted terrorists, track them to a specific location and capture or kill them as necessary.

Officially, Scott is a civilian security specialist employed by the Department of Defense. In actuality, he is one of Section 20's lead field operatives. A strong and skilled soldier who thrives under pressure, Scott brings strategic clout to Section 20. As a premier counterterrorism operative, he has helped save the United States from devastating terrorist attacks on numerous occasions.
