Evan Rogers (Hell's Scars)

== Evan Rogers ==
"Hell, it's better for me if everybody thinks the White Viceroys are a bunch of dumb-a** thugs. Some of them are, for sure. They're my decoys. I run them low-level on the streets, let them tag, bag, and bang. But my crew, my real family ― I train them with the shit I brought back from the desert: tactics, psychology, SIGINT. Anybody gets close to Russo-Green, they're going to see what they want to see--drugs, guns, and theft. But upstairs... upstairs, up in my court, we're playing the game on a higher level. The police and the government think we're watching the streets. S**t, we're watching the whole damn city and the things we find ― that's the currency we'll cash in when we need it. I've got dirt on everybody. Barrington, the police. You just watch, I'll get the Mayor, too. I just have to wait for that perfect moment. And It's comin' soon." - One of Patriot's monologues
Evan Winston Rogers (known as Patriot or Uncle Evan) is a main character and a major antagonist of the Hell's Scars series.
Serving as the main antagonist throughout the series, Rogers was a former USMC Gunnery Sergeant who came back from the War on Afghanistan and became the leader of his own private army of heavily armed, highly trained soldiers with white supremacist ideologies. He and his nephew Kenneth Becker are associates of drug lord Leon Chavez and were also part of his cartel before becoming independent dealers/mercenaries.
== Background ==
Born on October 21, 1995, in Austin, Texas, Evan grew up in a patriotic household, and at the age of 5, Evan and his family went to Manhattan, New York, for a family vacation, and a young Evan witnessed the World Trade Center being attacked by Al-Qaeda and becoming traumatized by the screams and the explosions. 
Instilled with a strong sense of patriotism, Evan joined the USMC at the age of 18 and trained in Camp Pendleton as an Infantryman. He served 2 tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and Syria and fought for 8 years, including having fought in Operation Phantom Fury and Operation Horn of Africa. However, Evan and his unit began killing off anyone who proved to be a threat, whether they were actual threats or not, without being arrested or caught for their crimes. Evan was honorably discharged with full honors and the rank of Gunnery Sergeant when the war ended in 2021. 
While struggling with trauma as a veteran, Evan went through eight jobs, including working in a pizzeria and a Walmart but got fired many times due to his PTSD making him lash out and use profanity and racism against Arabic people. However, Evan managed to find a new way to make money after he landed up in San Quentin Prison and called up members of his unit to help create a private army to hire themselves out to whoever paid them the most and did the most delicate jobs that most people wouldn't do, becoming mercenaries-for-hire. Evan later joined the Aryan Brotherhood after proving his worth to the gang and ended up taking the remnants after their leader falsely accused him of betrayal. 
They also became part of the drug trade after Evan met Leon Chavez (it's implied that Chavez bailed him out) and Evan's group became the Cartel's personal hitmen. The money and power, combined with his deep hatred toward the Middle East and patriotism, turned Evan into a criminal, and having observed that the US accepted Middle Eastern immigrants and that the government put restrictions on certain laws and never treated their veterans right and used them as tools, Evan started to prepare for a war against the government by increasing his manpower, equipment, and buying explosives. During this time, Evan became an anonymous domestic terrorist and is known by many of his men as "Patriot". 
During his leadership, Patriot recruited various people, including his nephew, and turned his group into a large private army with white supremacist viewpoints. 
== Biography ==
Evan is first seen when he gives Markus a promotion for his efforts in the heist. Evan created a group meeting and gave a motivational speech about war and about how his group is powerful warriors. He also told Markus that some wars are meant to be started and dismissed Markus to avoid him being concerned.
Evan set up a deal with the Cartel and after giving Gustavo the meth, Evan got held at gunpoint by the Cartel, who wanted to keep the money and take everything that they had. However, Evan and his group wiped out the entire group and Evan himself executed Gustavo for his greed, shocking Markus and a few members. After 3 days, Evan tries to convince Markus to do another hacking mission, but Markus refuses. Paranoid that Markus might betray the group and rat him out to the government, Evan sent Kenneth and a few men to kill Markus but failed in that goal. After making love to Mara, Evan called Micah and told him to send patrols around the border. When Markus attacked all of the depots and the outpost, Evan was impressed and tried to fight Markus by using a tank, but he was seemingly killed by a Reaper drone. However, Evan survived with major burn wounds and escaped the outpost. 
After 6 months, Evan survived the attack and he is trying to find Confederate treasure so he could use it to rally people to his cause but in fact, he intended to spark the second American Civil War by trading it for a military-graded bomb to destroy an American city which would cause mass chaos. During the chaos, he could rally people by promising order and prosperity under his rule which he will amass enough desperate people to build a large army strong enough to topple the American government. As he makes a deal with corrupt US soldiers to get a bomb, Evan manages to betray the soldiers and takes the bomb via train. When Markus tracked the main compound and destroyed it with the drone, Evan evaded Markus and activated the bomb inside the compound and the rest of the Tomahawk missiles (directed toward Washington DC). The two engaged each other in a brutal fight, with Evan proving himself to be a fearsome opponent and having combat experience. Markus outwitted him and shot him three times, critically wounding Evan and disarming the bomb. Despite having a wounded Evan at his mercy, Markus reluctantly spares him and escapes as the FBI HRT raids the compound and arrests Evan. Evan is last seen, locked up in solitary confinement and smirking with sinister intentions. 
In the alternate ending, after killing Markus, Patriot sent in various teams to major US capitals (New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Houston, etc) and had them detonate military-grade thermobaric bombs while he launched cruise missiles into various federal buildings and the Pentagon, killing thousands of civilians in the attacks. As he walked into the rubbled city of Atlanta, Patriot convinced hundreds, if not, thousands of people to join the fight. It ends with Patriot successfully managing to start the 2nd American Civil War by brute force and mass destruction. 
In the "Raider: Last Blood" series, The army, which was later renamed the White Viceroys, led by Patriot, seized control of the abandoned Russo-Green public housing project in Atlanta and made the abandoned apartment buildings into an almost impenetrable fortress, loaded with VXOS equipment and card readers. Patriot dealt with the Atlanta North Club leader Declan "Mr. Clover" Barrington, to associate both gangs. He split his gang into two groups: the first one was tasked with running small deals in Atlanta, and was mainly young gangsters, and the second group that he considers his 'family,' and operates from Russo-Green. The second group received military training and gear from their leader. Patriot also used servers from Russo-Green to hack into the data of many people to obtain blackmail that he would use to become the new "king" of Atlanta. Patriot got data from almost everybody, including the politicians, Declan Barrington, and the Police. Patriot planned to release all of it at the right time but was lacking only one piece of his scheme: the footage of Mayor Donovan murdering Juliette Ehrmantraut. 
Patriot attempted to hack into a truck that came from the Shamrock Hotel (owned by Barrington) to get the aforementioned video but failed when he encountered two other hackers in the system, and only got a corrupted file. Barrington, who was unaware of Patriot's attempt, asked Patriot to scare the two hackers. Patriot then hired Maurice Martinez to kill Jay. In 2045, Patriot managed to acquire a briefcase containing the guest list for Declan Barrington's auction. A Club man was later sent to Russo-Green to get the case back, the scene being witnessed by Jay and Charlotte who hacked into the cameras. After receiving an annoying call from Barrington (who called Patriot a stoat), he disparaged the gangster, labeling him a "leprechaun," and then asked what a stoat is. Another Viceroy gave another laugh by answering Patriot, saying that a stoat is a weasel, prompting Patriot and the Viceroy to have a small laugh before Patriot crushed the offending member's skull with the briefcase. 
Patriot later provided security for Barrington's auction and personally met Jack Crispin, who was Jay Roberts in disguise, having killed the real Crispin to get close to Patriot to clone his RFID card. Patriot later catches Wade in his server room. Knowing that his brother couldn't have gotten in by himself, he held him at the edge of a window. Wade confessed that an unknown man had put him up to this. Discovering a wire on Wade, Patriot alerted his men to the intruder, though Jay can escape. Patriot then questioned Wade if he knew anything about Juliette Ehrmantraut. When he was certain that Wade knew nothing, he spared him.
When Jay assaults Russo-Green, taking out all of the militarized Viceroy members, and gets to the servers, Patriot confronts him as he is leaving. Patriot thought it was Crispin but realizes it is Jay Roberts. Jay accuses him of being the second hacker from the Shamrock, to which Patriot expresses confusion, as they had never met. As Jay is ambushed by another Viceroy, Patriot makes a run for it and orders his remaining gang to kill the Ghost. When his men were all killed, Patriot personally involved himself in the fight and was brutally killed by the Ghost himself in hand-to-hand combat, thus destroying the Viceroys for good.
== Personality ==
Having been trained in Camp Pendleton, Patriot was very confident in his abilities. In his first appearance, Patriot declares himself a passionate freedom fighter for his homeland and is shown to be extremely caring, as seen by his relationship with Kenneth (whom he treats like his own son), and his fellow soldiers. He appears to hold respect for Markus since he was the main hacker of the group and even admired him to an extent. Well-read in American history and culture, Evan appears to be outwardly polite and soft-spoken, having earned his reputation through his speeches and military tactics, earning him many followers through his charisma and fierce leadership abilities. 
His anti-government and pro-individualist pragmatism, combined with his natural charisma, attracted a following of people who had been downtrodden by their society. Several members of the gang were orphans, minorities, ex-veterans, disenfranchised citizens, town drunks, former prostitutes, and other lowlifes; people who had felt they had no purpose until they joined the gang and Patriot gave them a cause and trained them everything he knew from the USMC. By creating a strong sense of unity, Patriot was well-known throughout the group as their most respected and feared leader due to his natural charisma and fierce leadership. He displayed genuine compassion for his fellow gang members and treated them as family members in a way that made them feel appreciated. He complimented them on their resilience and ability and thanked them for their loyalty and their work, even if they failed to accomplish their goals, as shown when he hugged one of his soldiers for reporting that Markus was coming for them. He saw to it that they were supplied, fed, and sheltered. His generosity endeared him to new members, many of whom had known little but harshness, pain, and struggle. His capacity to believe in others and help them believe in themselves was in turn reciprocated. Patriot would often joke around with his fellow gang members and had a kind, playful disposition. He would often make motivational speeches to encourage the gang to come together in times of hardship while preaching that "loyalty" and "faith" were among the highest and most honorable tenets.
In contrast to his kind and playful persona, Patriot is shown to be a sadistic, cruel, and violent man who is a cold-blooded murderer willing to kill anyone whom he is hired or who is a threat to his goals. He has no qualms about torturing or executing people either as shown by his imprisonment of various Arabic citizens and having them executed, even in the past, or shooting Gustavo when he tried to con Evan out of his meth and money. As the war between him and Markus heats up, Patriot is shown to be visibly excited and impressed about Markus' courage and seems very determined to kill him at all costs, showing his eagerness for combat. He is also very bloodthirsty and violent, much more than his fellow soldiers, as seen when he ruthlessly killed various Arabic tourists, US soldiers, and Gustavo in cold blood to establish his control, showing that he is eager to take control over anyone that was a threat to him or his army.
As he grew driven by ego, money, and vengeance, Patriot's true nature is further revealed and he was an extremely violent, sadistic, and ruthless individual, willing to do whatever it took to obtain resources and supplies for his group by raiding weapons trains, armories, and small towns, threatening anyone with death if they did not obey his demands or try to fight back. Patriot is a cold-blooded murderer, not only he kills people not just for survival, but to send a message and as punishment for disobedience as seen when he brutally murdered one of his men for trying to steal his meth and nonchalantly sat down and smokes a cigar afterward, showing his callous disregard toward human lives and no-nonsense attitude about murder. His violent tendencies mainly stemmed from his extreme racism toward Middle Eastern people and his hatred of the government for its apathy toward veterans, which explains why he is starting a war against the government and trying to waver people to his cause. His charisma, combined with his paranoia and hatred, made Patriot into a highly dangerous warlord to the core, and he was eager to use all means necessary to destroy the government, having built up a private army, acquired military-grade hardware, and killed anyone that he saw as a threat to prevent snitching. 
According to Markus, his recordings suggest that over time, his personal army, crypto-technology, and military tactics have made him insane and arrogant, believing himself to be some kind of legend with his power making him slowly lose his grip on reality and even his patience, which explains his violent tendencies and eagerness to start unnecessary wars against the government. Due to his lack of empathy, his charisma to manipulate others into doing his bidding, and his eagerness to violence, it's strongly hinted that Patriot is a sociopathic dictator who is willing to use brutal methods to survive.
Despite his bloodthirsty attitude and violent traits, Patriot is a brilliant strategist and a strong, effective leader, having kept thousands of his people alive and is worshipped by many and feared by others. He also trained every one of his soldiers in his military tactics to build up his personal army when the time came. Unlike most antagonists, Patriot is courageous on the battlefield, openly choosing to fight alongside his men and face danger head-on, as seen when he kills various Cartel soldiers himself with relative ease and fights Markus in H2H, showing a remarkable display of courage and confidence in his abilities. In his fight with Markus, Patriot surprisingly shows a great amount of honor and courage, having helped up Markus and given him time to recover between hits, which even surprised his opponent. Despite his racist views and violent attitude, Evan has some redeeming qualities, such as his compassion and care for his fellow soldiers, his deep respect and honor toward Markus upon fighting him, and his sorrow for his fallen brothers and sisters in arms after Markus kills them, showing deep sadness and anger. While he is racist toward Arabs, it's revealed that his hatred stems from losing most of his men and witnessing them being tortured and killed by Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Taliban insurgents and that he fought his way out to escape and went back to camp. While he did show some regret for killing innocent people, he quickly saw it as a part of life and just rolled with it, showcasing his nonchalance toward murder and other crimes. 
However, his desire for war and eagerness to fight led Patriot to his downfall, and rather than being killed by his former ally, he is imprisoned for life due to his heinous actions and crimes. 
As he got out of prison and rebuilt the White Viceroys, Patriot became crass and crude and was willing to do just about anything for the money and to gain power over Atlanta. He shows sadism and brutality towards his victims and will be shown to have little to no limits in his actions. He is deeply egotistical, being angered when Jay rightfully calls him out as being Barrington's lapdog, and will feel threatened towards anyone bruising his ego as seen when he kills one of his men for answering his question. He gradually came to see it as a necessity and eventually developed into a ruthless crime lord motivated largely by vanity, ego, and greed. 
As the White Viceroys flourished, he was shown to possess a kingpin's unbeatable survival skills: sociopathy, cunning, emotional manipulation, meticulousness, and violence. As he delves deeper into the criminal underworld, he increasingly sees people as expendable pawns, whom he either manipulates to further his interests or eliminates. He also comes to find his new status as a crime lord psychologically rewarding, leading him to become less and less reluctant to resort to criminal acts such as theft, extortion, money laundering, and murder, showing pleasure, enthusiasm, and even a sort of depraved indifference in these acts to a degree. Patriot's Machiavellian descent into the criminal underworld reveals a surprising level of repressed ambition, rage, resentment, vanity, and an increasing ruthlessness which has alienated him from his family and allies. 
In short, Patriot was a courageous and violent individual who was more than willing to create a war against the government and used his influence to convince many people to join his cause. By giving into his ego and greed, Patriot died as a violent, manipulative, and ruthless individual at the hands of the man who exploited his arrogance and ego.
== Appearance ==
Patriot is an American man, standing at 6'0. He has dark brown hair styled in a crew cut, a goatee beard, dark blue eyes, and a heavily built muscular physique, perfect for his position. He also has tattoos on his body, ranging from a swastika on the left side of his neck, the USMC logo on the back of his neck, and the devil dog tattoo on his right hand.
In his past as a former Marine, he wore the desert-clad USMC MARPAT uniform and sported a buzzcut and a clean-shaven look.
In the present day, Patriot is in his 30s and sporting the same USMC uniform, but with a dark green M-1965 jacket, a brown t-shirt, dog tags, and a black hip holster. 
After 6 months since he survived the last attack, Patriot grew his hair into a parting fade, grew out a heavy stubble beard, and has several burn scars on his body, notably on the right side of his face. Patriot wore a fitted dark gray long-sleeve shirt, khaki cargo pants, and black combat boots during his last stand. He also wore a tan ballistic vest before discarding it. 
In 2045, Patriot wore a black leather jacket and a dark gray long-sleeve shirt (with its sleeves folded up before the elbows), black cargo pants, tan combat boots, and his old dog tags from the war. His dog tags also house an RFID chip used to enter his secret server room. 
== Skills ==
* High Intelligence: Patriot is shown to be a highly intelligent and methodical man who was quickly adaptable to any situation given to him. He is extremely level-headed and can handle extreme stress to get out of dangerous situations by using incredible street smarts. As he led his group, he honed his leadership, tactical, and career networking skills for years. Patriot's tough military attitude, however, does occasionally make him seem less intelligent than he actually is, which is a ruse to hide his true nature.
* Criminology: As a mercenary and domestic terrorist, Patriot has a network of professional and social contacts to further his ambitions. He tried to gain leverage on Declan and the Underworld by making deals and stealing contracts. He has exceptional insight into how the criminal underworld operates and how illegal activities work, such as dealing with mercenary groups and feared crime families. He also displayed extensive knowledge of illegal narcotics, able to tell what kind of drugs the Georgia criminal underworld was moving and selling.
* Intimidation: Due to his past as a former Marine who fought in Afghanistan and his nickname, Patriot is widely known and feared within the criminal underworld and was so infamous that even his title strikes fear and terror into the hearts and souls of his enemies that incurred his wrath. His training and networking skills made him feared, even by the US Government.
* Hacking Skills: Patriot is a very skilled hacker, as shown as he has used the application of military tactics in his 'master plan' by taking advantage of the new currency within the city of Atlanta: digital information, a tactic also employed by his business partner Declan Barrington to gain even more power throughout the city by using information that Patriot has gained through hacking about important people and blackmailing them with said information. To protect his cache of information, Patriot has rerouted the CKOS connections within Russo-Green to create a digital dead zone so that the system software cannot predict the group's movements, Patriot has also installed a remote server within the apartments on the upper floors to store the sheer volume of information that he previously hacked and is planning to use against within Atlanta. Although unconfirmed, one can assume that he has used some of this information against several high-ranking members of the Atlanta police department to force the police away from his operations out of Russo-Green.
* Multilingualism: Apart from his native English, Patriot has a good understanding of Arabic and Spanish, given his past in Afghanistan and his dealings with the Cartel.
* Skilled Physician: Patriot appears to have extensive knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, as well as intermediate first aid and medicine. He is also extremely knowledgeable about pressure points.
* Master Tactician: Patriot has taken all the tactics and training he learned during his military service into running the White Viceroys, implementing a two-fold strategy to achieve his goals involving splitting the gang into two groups: the low level more traditional 'gangbanger' types including his half-brother Wade McGowan, and those he trusts. Those who Patriot trusts are taught everything he learned in the military including weapons/tactics/psychology as part of being his personal army for when the time comes. However, those who are not considered trustworthy are merely treated as members of the gang and are given similar responsibilities such as drug dealing, arms trafficking, and manufacturing meth, and are not given any special training. This strategy is done so that the lower-level members of the gang are used as a buffer between any potential threats and the real members of their leader's inner circle, and to trick people into thinking that the White Viceroys are just a simple gang and not a highly organized and extremely trained private army. This strategy has been used to turn the headquarters of the Viceroys from a large apartment complex into an almost impenetrable fortress in the Russo-Green district of Atlanta by normal means, and the most important rooms locked with specialized security measures on the upper levels which only the most trusted members of the Viceroys are allowed to explore. To further his grip on the power he currently has, Patriot will do anything he sees as necessary including killing members of his gang and even his own family, namely his half-brother, who is seen as a massive liability to the gang even though Patriot is seen giving him a second chance to prove himself. However, Wade's incompetency only helps Patriot realize that his brother needs to be 'removed' from the gang. He was even able to tell that Jay had a sniper as the backup.
* Stealth Mastery: Patriot is a master in stealth tactics, such as understanding the use of disguises to enter authorized locations, using his hacking skills to disable communications and light sources, and using the environment around him to blend in, even in plain sight, to avoid detection. He's also capable of luring enemies into certain scenarios where he can easily eliminate them or pass by them to move to the objective. 
* Skilled Engineer: Patriot is a very skilled mechanic and engineer who is capable of manipulating and using objects and machinery around him to gain an advantage. He's also capable of using makeshift traps out of common household supplies and military weaponry to deter his enemies and has modified military vehicles to take a beating.
* Connections: Having worked with a few prison groups, and various mercenary groups, Patriot has a vast set that he can use to gain an advantage over his enemies, even with weapons dealers, criminal informants, and corrupt government officials.
* Expert Driver: Patriot has shown exceptional driving skills to the point where he is even capable of driving manual cars, mechanicalized vehicles (tanks, APCs, boats, and helicopters), and motorcycles with ease. A notable example is seen as he used a tank with several men to kill Markus.
* Master Marksman: As a former Marine, Patriot is extremely proficient with firearms, including pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, as well as being frighteningly precise with eliminating targets in both close-range and long-range distances (as shown during his fights). He's also skilled with using and firing heavier weaponry, such as grenade launchers, light machine guns, and flamethrowers as well as using mounted weaponry. Due to his extensive knowledge of guerrilla tactics, Patriot has shown to be extremely skilled with bows and scavenging and using whatever firearm the enemy has to achieve his goals. Patriot can blend his marksmanship with hand-to-hand skills, being able to grapple, disarm, and even use his enemies' weaponry against them with precision. He is also capable of firing heavier weapons one-handed and dual-wielding pistols and accurately landing shots at enemies with relative ease. As shown in several scenes and notably fighting the Cartel, he is capable of drawing his sidearm out and accurately gunning down men with relative ease, making him a deadly marksman in close combat.
* Master Martial Artist: As a former member of the USMC, Patriot is shown to be an incredibly skilled hand-to-hand fighter. His fighting style is mostly improvised and consists of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, Capoeira, Sambo, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, Boxing, Savate, Kickboxing, Isshin-ryū Karate, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Aikido, Hapkido, Eskrima, Sayoc Kali, Jujutsu, Krav Maga, Iaido, Kendo, and Kobudo. He can quickly outmaneuver, outmatch, and outlast his opponents, even capable of taking on multiple opponents at once. Due to his quick wit, Patriot can adapt to his opponent's fighting styles, studying them during the fight and adapting to turn their strengths against them as seen in his fight with Markus, as shown as he managed to overpower him with brute strength and techniques. Even though he's pushing his 50s, Patriot still possessed his fighting prowess and came close to beating Jay Roberts (who was part of Delta Force and a freelance mercenary) in H2H.
* Knife Mastery: Patriot is highly skilled in wielding and throwing blades, such as knives and axes. Combined with his extensive knowledge of anatomy and intense experience in Kali, Patriot can use blades to find a suitable angle to either wound or kill an opponent in a fight and has shown deadly expertise with a machete as shown during his fights.
* Improvised Weapon Mastery: In addition to his skills with firearms and martial arts, Patriot is very good at using whatever tools he sees during his fights to gain an advantage over his opponents.
* Peak Human Condition: As a former Infantryman of the USMC, Patriot has displayed peak human physicality for a man of his age. He's extremely athletic, and his strength, stamina, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, and pain threshold are in top condition.
* Peak Human Strength: Patriot is very strong, capable of overpowering and restraining even larger opponents, knocking out or outright killing a skilled operator with a single strike, breaking their bones and necks with ease, and breaking through walls and glass with some difficulty. As seen in his fight against Markus, he is capable of using throws and takedowns with brute strength.
* Peak Human Durability: Patriot is highly resilient and sturdy due to his time on the battlefield. Patriot can survive multiple gunshot wounds, stabbings/slashes, and blunt force trauma without feeling that much pain. His greatest durability feat was surviving a tank explosion from a Javelin attack. His durability also made him tougher to kill, as evidenced during his fight against Markus, who is younger and more agile.
* Peak Human Speed: Patriot is extremely fast, especially for a man of his age. He can outrun his opponents and can run and sprint far distances uninterrupted.
* Peak Human Agility: Patriot has extreme amounts of stamina. He can fight for considerate amounts of time and run great distances uninterrupted. He can flip and spin his way out of incoming gunfire with the impressive feats of an experienced gymnast and vault, scale, and traverse through difficult terrains and obstacles with ease. Even being extremely injured and middle-aged, Patriot required little time to recover before continuing the fight.
* Peak Human Reflexes: Patriot has incredible reflexes. Due to his time on the battlefield, Patriot has displayed a fast reaction time, as he can easily evade bullets and melee attacks during combat. Due to his expertise in guerrilla warfare, Patriot can correctly assess the situation, understand the purpose, and act effectively, making it harder for the enemy to outwit him in the field. His senses are shown to be enhanced, having the capability to hear, smell, and sense his enemies from any direction and to avoid ambushes, raids, and sniper fire with ease. He is notably quick enough to react and kill several men with ease.
* High Pain Tolerance: Patriot demonstrates a near-inhuman tolerance to pain, being able to survive near-fatal injuries, such as gunshot wounds, stabbing, blunt force trauma, and physical blows with ease. As seen during his attacks, Patriot survives in a tank explosion and a brutal beating by a younger and quicker opponent.
== Equipment ==
* SIG SAUER P320: Patriot's main sidearm. He carried it in a hip holster and used it against Markus, but it ran out of ammunition. His pistol is the M18 variant and unlike the real-life counterpart, his pistol is outfitted with an all-black finish and occasionally used another one (with a tan frame) during the Cartel attack.
*H&K HK-416: Patriot's main firearm. He notably used it in his last stand against Markus. His rifle is outfitted with an 11'5 barrel, an EOTech HHS V red dot sight, a Magpul AFG, PMAGS, and a MOE stock.
*Kimber Warrior: Patriot's secondary sidearm. He notably carries it in a shoulder holster and used it during a standoff against Jay Roberts. His pistol has Hogue grips.
*AA-12: Patriot's primary shotgun. He notably used it during his last stand and ran out of ammunition. His shotgun has a digital camouflage finish.
*AK-47: Patriot's backup weapon. He notably used it during his last stand but was disarmed of it. His AK is a Norinco Type 56 with an AKM-style compensator and dark walnut furniture.

== Trivia ==
* Patriot is the only antagonist to survive being imprisoned and not be involved with Jay (until Raider: Last Blood).
* Patriot despises Declan Barrington; he states (behind his back) that Declan can "Suck his lucky charms." He is also quick to accuse Wade of being "bought by Declan", suggesting that he doesn't trust Declan completely.
* Judging by his followers, use of military-grade weaponry and drones, and strong desire for power, Patriot is considered to be the most dangerous antagonist by Markus and has bigger plans than anyone in the Reboot timeline, wanting to start a revolution against the government for 9/11 and creating his white supremacy views.
*Patriot is the only antagonist that came close to killing Jay Roberts in H2H and given the fact that Jay was ex-Delta and that Patriot is an Afghanistan-era Marine veteran, the pair made themselves fierce opponents.
* Patriot has bared some similarities and differences to Daniel Stillman:
** Both men had racist viewpoints and used brutal methods to showcase their power. However, Patriot was only racist toward Arabs while Stillman was prejudiced against every foreigner and American that supported that.
** Both men are soldiers who fought in the Middle East, but Patriot was a Marine NCO and Stillman was an Army CO.
** Both men are charismatic leaders who led a huge private army, but Patriot had thousands of men consisting of outcasts, criminals, and former members of his unit while Stillman had recruited veterans and disfranchised people, as well as kidnapped orphans and trained them to be killers.
** The difference between both men is that Patriot had redeeming qualities (despite being racist) and was courageous and fought with his men and Stillman had no redeeming qualities and was a coward at heart, letting his men die and using bribes to save his skin.
** Another difference is that Patriot worked for the Underworld out of pragmatism while Stillman didn't.
