Maynard Montgomery

== Biography, Family, and Personality. ==
Maynard Montgomery was born on July 23rd, 1994 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. 
His father was of a Nationalistic political outlook, and was cited by many in the community as being a profoundly devout catholic.
The elder Montgomery served as a reservist for the Royal Air Force for a short time in the 1980's, and was briefly called into service in 1987, following the Loughgall ambush. In civilian life, Montgomery served as a member of the Royal Ulster constabulary, and eventually earned the rank of sergeant. In 1988, an inquiry into his conduct was opened following a public accusation of his forcing a child (then aged thirteen years) to confess to the crime of petty theft. No charges were brought against him, and he was shortly promoted. In 1990, he met multiple times with officials of Sinn Féin, drawing the ire of many of his superiors and allegedly causing his career to stagnate. It was rumoured that Montgomery would often pass information regarding constabulary movements to Provisional-Irish-Republican-Army-affiliated paramilitary fighters. 
The elder Montgomery was killed in a vehicular accident in 1996, mere months after the birth of his daughter. 
In 2007, Maynard's younger sister was present at a protest against a potential ordinance when a riot broke out. The media reported suspicions of the Ulster Loyalist paramilitary group known as the Red Hand Commandos being responsible for the outbreak of violence. Although the incident occurred towards the tail end of Operation Banner, the British Army's Royal Irish Regiment's 2nd Battalion was called upon to support units of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Disregarding the orders of his superiors, Pvt. Roger Abney opened fire on demonstrators, including unarmed protestors attempting to flee.
The youngest Montgomery was among the thirteen victims of Abney's assault, distinguished from other casualties, including those who succumbed to third-degree burns and physical brute-force trauma by the presence of multiple 7.62 rounds found embedded in her abdomen. Forensics determined that the rounds were each fired from Abney's issued L7A1 FN light machine gun.
The 2004 Laws of Armed Combat Manual states that those who violate the Fourth Geneva Convention Treatise of 1949 with intent and knowledge are eligible to be tried for war crimes. Witnesses, including fellow British soldiers, testified that Abney disengaged his weapon's safety and deployed the bipod before flipping up the rear leaf sight and opening fire. Abney was discharged with dishonor from the army, and summarily imprisoned for life, without parole.
Possibly as a result of the traumatic incidences that occurred in his past, Maynard has an exceedingly skittish personality, verging on sheer agoraphobia, resulting in a lack of close relationships.
