Daryl Roberts (Reboot Timeline)

== Daryl Roberts ==
"You're nothing like me, bro. You're just a stone-cold killer. But me.... I'm a true warrior at heart. Semper Fi, motherf**ker!" - Daryl's last words before fighting his arch-enemy 
Gunnery Sergeant Daryl Clarke Roberts (known as Daryl Roberts) is a main character and the tritagonist in the Reboot timeline. 
Daryl is a former Gunnery Sergeant of the USMC that left his life as an operative to live out a life of tranquility, but only to be forced into action when his former allies tried to kill him for his betrayal. He served as the new tritagonist in the Canon series and became the main protagonist of his timeline upon Jay's apparent death.
== Background ==
Born on November 4, 2039, Daryl was born at Columbus, Georgia to both Jay Roberts and Lilly Clarke. While nothing is known, but it's implied by Daryl that they (both him and Lindsey, his sister) were home-schooled and taught their father's military skills during off time, molding them into better people. As they grow up, Daryl and Lindsey went to middle school and high school, earning a reputation in school for their above-average academic performance and their physicality. 
As their parents went to Hawaii for a 2-week anniversary, Daryl went to babysit Lindsey, but ended up going to a party and hooked up with Katherine, who happens to be the half-sister of Patrick Owens, their high school top jock. After realizing that Patrick coldly rejected Lindsey and even called her a cheap wannabe slut, Daryl brutally beats up Patrick, establishing a reputation of formidability for Daryl within the high school cliques since Daryl was a nerd and that Patrick was a well-known jock. However, Patrick sought vengeance and hits Lindsey, causing Daryl to track him down and beats him again. As Patrick tries to kill Daryl under the guise of bribing him, Lindsey shoots him dead, causing a bewildered Daryl to disarm her and the pair came back to the house. After the incident, Daryl went to the park and found that Patrick was still alive, causing Daryl to mercy kill him and to bury his body to prevent Lindsey from discriminating herself. 
After graduation, Daryl joined the US Marine Corps despite his father's advice not to join any military branch and became part of Unit 467, a highly skilled of Marines. Over time, Daryl went to Afghanistan and Argentina and served a full tour from both countries, earning himself a Medal of Honor, 3 Purple Hearts, and the Navy Cross. 
== Biography (The Canon Series) ==
Daryl is first seen, fighting alongside the Unit to defeat ARF troops in a small town. In an encampment, Daryl talks to Piper about family and how the war would end, showing that Daryl is beginning to realize that war isn't fair and that he misses his family. As the Unit began to use unconventional methods and killing innocents to draw out the ARF forces, Daryl deliberately betrays the Unit by secretly recording their acts, killing a few men, including Simon Brubaker (one of their sergeants), and escaping Argentina. While the Unit was eventually found and imprisoned, Daryl was honorably discharged and went back to the United States. As Daryl came back to the US, Jack Riley Sharpe and a few Hive survivors hired him to kill Jay Roberts as revenge for killing their comrades, but failed when Daryl and Jay fought back and killed Jack and the remnants of the Hive. 
After the apparent death of his parents, Daryl earned his father's $400,000,000 inheritance and was attacked by the Unit, who is now targeting him for his betrayal. With the help of another defector, Joseph Dobson, Daryl managed to wipe out a great majority of the Unit, including killing Griggs and Piper himself. After the attack, Daryl sustained a few injuries and he was found by Steven Miller and the WTO and later joined the WTO to hunt down the Neves Cartel and the Angels. It's later revealed that Daryl was still being hunted by the Unit, who is now being led by Ryder Brubaker, who is revealed as the true founder and leader and had given the torch to Piper, who is more battle-hardened and experienced. Despite being seemingly outmatched and outnumbered, Daryl still managed to fight against the Unit and even killed Ryder and his coalition force of hitmen and the Unit's remnants. However, Daryl didn't get away unscathed and died, knowing that he lived long enough to protect his wife and his child. 
Daryl's death gave a purpose when his son, Daryl C. Roberts Junior, took up the mantle and became a soldier like him. 
== Biography (The Raider) ==
Daryl isn't seen in the series, with the exception of being captured by Ryder Brubaker for his betrayal of the Unit. However, Daryl ends up being killed by WTO operators led by Dean Mitchell.
== Personality ==
In his first appearance, Daryl is shown as a strict, wise-cracking, and cautious man who greatly cared for his sister and whenever his sister is being threatened or hurt, Daryl flies into a blind rage and notably beats Patrick Owens, establishing a lasting reputation of formidability. When Patrick came after him, Daryl became braver and fights against Patrick, but quickly stops when Patrick tries to manipulate him, but Daryl chose not to be open, showing his caution toward others. Daryl also showed self-preservation and selflessness, having buried Patrick's corpse to prevent Lindsey from discriminating herself.
Throughout his military career, Daryl is seen as an extremely ruthless and cold individual and unlike members of the Unit, Daryl genuinely fought for the Argentinian civilians and tried to prevent ARF troops from taking the country. He also showed visible anger and disgust toward the Unit's callousness and chose to betray them instead of staying with them, showing his morality and genuine compassion. As the Unit sought vengeance, Daryl became more and more focused and ruthless, killing every former ally that he knew, including Piper, Griggs, Dobson, and Ryder Brubaker, in order to survive and protect his family.
Before his last moments, Daryl was aware of the fact that he was a father and chose to sacrifice himself to save his family and even fought to kill his former associates, dying a brave and honorable man that chose his family above harming innocents.
