Nicolas Alceste

==Biography==
===Before the war===
Nicolas was born in 1965 in Paris, France. Raised on his father's war stories of fighting the Germans during World War II, Nicolas desired to enlist in the French army since childhood; and he did.
As time went on, he became a member of more and more undercover tactical espionage operations, commonly known by his codename "Le Fantôme" amongst other NATO operatives. As of 1990, he was working as a GIGN operative. He worked with the SAS and the Danish Jægerkorpset in the past. During the Third World War, his communications officer was Brocken.
===Third World War===
Nicolas, alongside Dresden were dispatched during the fall of 1990 into Yugoslavia, when the Chinese government tricked NATO into attacking Yugoslavian weapon storages, causing them to retaliate. In return, NATO destroyed a PLA Second Artillery Corps base, killing Egg Fu, the Chinese nuclear mastermind in the process. Afterwards, Nicolas was tasked with receiving documents from a Mauritanian man known as Doctor Mussahad, and stopping Wojciech Jaruzelski, the Polish Soviet colaborator.
When Mussahad's files were deciphered, they pointed towards secret research taking place on the island of Nauru in the Pacific, under the cover of a shipping firm led by the suspicious Jizzy B., an American outed as a Soviet colaborator during the seventies. When he stormed the company grounds, he stumbled upon mutants - the new weapon of the Soviet Union. But before he could escape the compound, it's doors opened, revealing a massive group of Spetsnaz troops, two Soviet Generals, and even a T-64 tank the Soviets somehow managed to smuggle to Nauru. Nicolas surrendered and was taken to Gulag, unable to relay the information about mutants to anyone.
===Escape and Payback===
At the Gulag Nicolas was at first tortured and interrogated brutally by the KGB, but no matter how hard they tried to make him squeal, he revealed nothing, and was then put in the Black Dolphin prison, the most cruel, brutal and secretive prison in all of the Soviet Union, filled with the country's worst criminals - murderers, serial killers, psychopaths, pedophiles and cannibals. Each painstaking day of torturous and brutal incarceration in this hellhole dragged on, almost driving Nicolas insane.
One day however, as the NATO invasion of the Soviet Union was in full swing, the prison suffered a small power outage, causing a domino effect in which all inmates escaped, including Alceste, who used a chopper to escape to Europe, but was shot down over Poland and faced head-on the terror mutants cause. Brocken was relieved to finally pick his signal up again after so many months.
After getting back to Brussels at last, he destroyed the Moscow Defense Wall, killed Velemir Katynov, and then took part in the siege of Moscow, until finally arriving in Kamchatka, where he killed Premier Alexander, putting the war to end at last.
