Omega X (Earth-92356)

The Omega X of Earth-92356, currently going by the name of Ghost, is a top soldier of the Omega Army and the field leader of Team Paradox.
Formerly a police officer in New York, Omega worked to maintain stability in the city around 2021 when he joined The Division, a top-secret government organization. After months of fighting, Omega spent four years as a civilian until he was recruited into the Group for Specialized Tactics, a US Military team.
==Story==
===Childhood===
This Omega X was born on April 7, 2000, in an unspecified major city of Spain. In his childhood, he was good friends with the Freezer of his reality, and unlike other Omegas and Freezers, their friendship continued into adulthood.
As a young boy, Omega was passionate about justice and wanted to join the police department. He graduated from college with a PhD in Criminology and Psychology, and was fluent in several languages by the time he reached adulthood.
===Before The Division===
====Working for the Police Department====
Upon reaching majority of age in April 2018, Omega enlisted in the police department of his city. He worked there for a few months, becoming so renowned in police circles that he was transferred to the New York Police Department around September after their police chief requested his aid with a case. Omega travelled there with Freezer, who'd enlisted in the army around the same time as Omega joined the police and was now being transferred to Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn as part of an international assignment. After solving the case his help was requested with, Omega decided to stay to work in the NYPD, where he curiously felt more at home than in his own home country.
====The hostage situation====
Omega eventually rose through the ranks of the police until, one day in late 2019, he was assigned to a hostage situation in a residential building with other NYPD officers and legendary SWAT group Phoenix Squadron, renowned for pulling off impossible assignments. The SWAT team went into the building through the windows by using rappel gear while Omega and the NYPD agents went in through the door.
However, both sides were ambushed; a corrupt cop in the NYPD was in league with the hostage takers and informed them of the entrance points that the teams would take. As a result, the police team was almost instantly gunned down with the sole exception of Omega, while the SWAT team lost two of its four members. As Omega made his way up the stairs to help the SWAT team, he was ambushed and pinned down to the floor by the hostage takers' leader, who announced himself as Slider. As Slider was about to slice Omega's throat, the two last remaining members of the SWAT team arrived to help him. Slider shot and killed one of the members, but the team leader managed to pin him down to the floor. However, Slider used a piece of glass on the floor to stab the SWAT team leader through the back of the neck and slice his throat. During this time, Omega ran away and hid in an apartment, which he later realized held the hostages. As Slider entered the apartment, Omega tackled him, luckily taking his shotgun away and hitting him with its butt, knocking him out and putting an end to the hostage situation.
Omega walked out of the building as several TV crews came in, the hostages describing only what they saw, which was Slider being taken down. After this, Omega was considered a "local hero" by the news. However, unbeknownst to everyone, this incident scarred Omega for the rest of his life, who developed survivor's guilt and, a few weeks later, was transferred from the NYPD to join a counterterrorist organization. However, after his first, unexplained operation with this team, he resigned, realizing he just wasn't fit for the job.
====Recruitment into The Division====
A while later, around the start of 2020, Omega met with Freezer at a cafeteria after the latter had been dishonorably discharged from the army for disobeying orders to save his squad. They talked about their experiences and hardships when suddenly they were approached by a man. The man spoke to them about a one-in-a-billion career chance, but when they asked him about it, he merely said it was "classified", which Omega and Freezer both recognized as being government-related. When they asked to know what the "chance" was about, they were hit in the back of their heads, knocked unconscious and taken away.
When they woke up, they found themselves in a top-secret, state-of-the-art underground training facility hidden away from the rest of the world. The man from before appeared and explained to them that they had been chosen to serve as the US government's last line of defense, despite being foreigners, for their outstanding qualities. Omega and Freezer were told that, should the government ever fall and all forms of public protection fail to restore order, they would be activated as part of the Strategic Homeland Division, abbreviated simply as SHD or The Division, a fully autonomous and independent unit whose goal is to ensure continuity of government. While Omega liked the idea and willingly accepted, Freezer refused. However, he was coerced into accepting after being told that knowing what they had been told and leaving without joining could be considered treason against the government which, given his status as a foreigner, could spark an international incident. Upon hearing this, Freezer was forced to accept.
Omega and Freezer spent the following months training in secret, learning not only advanced close quarters combat techniques and weapons handling, but also how to use special SHD technology. After receiving their codenames (Omega - Omega, Freezer - Eagle) and being given a SHD smartwatch and contact lens for holographic interface interaction each, Omega and Freezer were let out into the real world once again.
===As Agent===
====Activation====
Omega spent two years as a sleeper agent until November 26, 2021, also known as Black Friday, when an artificially mutated version of the smallpox spread in dollar bills (later nicknamed the "Green Poison") began to infect almost everyone in New York City, save for some who were inmune, including Omega. Due to the sheer chaos brought on by several events after this, including the city being quarantined and the Joint Task Force (abbreviated as JTF), a coalition of policemen, army soldiers, National Guard officers, paramedics and more, failing to keep order, The Division had to be activated within days. However, Omega and Eagle were relegated to the "Second Wave", who was supposed to come in as a last resort, should the First Wave fail. Surprisingly, by the end of the week, all of the First Wave Agents were either dead or missing, which forced the Second Wave into activation. Omega, then visiting a friend in Brooklyn, stepped out into the streets as Agent.
====The Explosion & Losing Eagle====
After meeting up with his partner, a woman and a Second Wave Agent, in a JTF safe house and validating his SHD tech for active use, Agent helped clean up most of Brooklyn by performing several activities, from recovering a box of food from looters to rescuing hostages from a bank. It has been noted that, in order to recover the food box, Agent had to kill two looters, which marked his first real kills. After taking back a police station that served as a looter base, Agent, his partner and his handler were scheduled to meet with the East Coast Division Commander and fly to Manhattan together. However, a mysterious explosion blew up the helicopter, killing the Division Commander, wounding Agent and crippling his partner.
Luckily, they were rescued by JTF medics from Manhattan, who managed to reanimate Agent and his partner; however, the latter's left leg and right eye were crippled and permanently blinded respectively. A while later, they arrived in Manhattan, where Agent reunited with Eagle and his handler, the man who'd recruited them both.
Agent and Eagle worked together for a while until, one day, Eagle went by himself into the Dark Zone, the First Wave's area of operations, and disappeared. During this time, Agent was then told by Eagle's handler about the First Wave and how they fell; they were supposed to keep the downtown part of Manhattan, the most infected area and now called the Dark Zone, quarantined from the others. However, the conflicts and riots caused the deaths of several SHD agents, whose gear was used to kill more agents, whose gear was looted and used to kill even more agents, and so on until, out of the 2000 First Wave Agents, only 150 escaped the Dark Zone alive. However, no one knew where these were.
Hours later, Eagle returned from the Dark Zone, having seen the First Wave Division Agents' bodies and fought looters using their tech, and confronted his handler about it. The handler told him the same story that was told to Agent; enraged by this betrayal to those he thought of as his comrades, Eagle declared he couldn't work for The Division anymore. However, he was confronted by Agent, who, despite not liking what was done to the First Wave, claimed he had a mission to complete. This resulted in a shootout with several JTF casualties in which Eagle escaped. Taking the responsibility for the incident, Eagle's handler stepped down from his position, making Agent's partner his new handler and the acting Division Commander, after the previous one's death in the helicopter explosion.
====Cleaning up New York City====
Agent was then briefed on the three major factions warring over New York City: the "Cleaners", former firefighters and cleaning staff armed with homemade flamethrowers and hazmat suits, wanting to burn the Green Poison and everyone infected with it, which roughly translated to the whole city; the "Rikers", escaped inmates with a grudge against anyone wearing a uniform, specially the JTF; and the "Last Man Battalion", abbreviated as LMB, a private military company that simply wanted to take over the city and start a forced new world order.
Agent spent weeks performing classified operations against these three factions, eventually killing the leaders of the Cleaners and Rikers. However, the LMB's headquarters was heavily protected, so an assault seemed unlikely. It was then that Agent received a distress signal - from a First Wave Division Agent.
====The Rogue Agents====
Agent tracked down the distress signal to the New York Police Academy. Entering through the garage, Agent encountered a SHD smartwatch on the floor, without an owner, when suddenly LMB troopers ambushed him. After taking care of them, Agent thought about how familiar the situation felt, but his handler told him that he was just being paranoid. After advancing through the academy, occupied by more LMB troops, Agent reached the gym and found a First Wave Agent sitting on a chair, yet tied up and with a bullet hole in his head. Agent was shocked that someone could kill a Division agent with non-SHD gear and decided to look into the matter.
Using his SHD smartwatch to rebuild a 3D recording of the scene, Agent watched in horror as two Rogue First Wave Agents executed two other agents for refusing to betray The Division. However, his shock was cut short as, while he was sending the recording to his handler, he was ambushed by LMB troops led by one of the Rogue Agents from the recording. Agent took down the troops and the Rogue Agent, but was shocked to learn that The Division had been betrayed by their own people. Nonetheless, he kept fighting against the LMB, taking out their hideouts one by one.
====The Virologist, First Defeat====
One day, Agent's handler received a message from the Russian consulate in New York, saying that the sender held the key to the pandemic asolating the city. With no time to waste, Agent was sent to secure the area, but was intercepted by LMB troops. Agent fought through the consulate until he reached a server room being looted by more soldiers. As Agent tried to hack through the servers, his SHD technology was overridden by someone else - using the same SHD tech. This made him realize that Rogue Agents had intercepted the distress signal too. Agent hurried through the inner rooms of the consulate while eavesdropping on LMB signals, confirming that there was at least one Rogue Agent in the vicinity. After finally reaching a dead end and taking out what seemed to be the last LMB troops in the building, Agent managed to have a talk with the distress signal sender (hidden inside a bunker in the consulate), who confirmed he was a virologist who - unknowingly - helped create the Green Poison virus through his research. However, as they were talking, an explosion was heard.
Agent hacked a computer nearby that opened the entrance to the virologist's bunker, now empty and with a hole in the wall. Agent then eavesdropped on LMB comms and learned that the Rogue Agents had just beaten him to the virologist. He ran all the way outside through the hole in the bunker wall and got out in time to see a helicopter departing with the virologist and two Rogue Agents - one of them being the last one from the Police Academy recording and the other one being Eagle. Agent then fought the Rogue Agent from the LMB comms, who'd jumped down from the helicopter to "see what the Second Wave was made of", and killed him. He then searched the Rogue Agent's corpse in hopes of finding any clues and did, fortunately, find the virologist's personal notes on the virus as a consolation prize. After this defeat, the first one he'd actually suffered in The Division, Agent decided enough was enough and ordered the JTF to prepare an assault on the LMB's main base, the only place the Rogue Agents could be hiding at:
The United Nations headquarters.
====The LMB's Last Stand====
While the JTF prepared the raid on the LMB's base, Agent forced all of the latter's important assets to retreat to the UN building by systematically attacking their strongest safe houses in order to cause chaos, which would then allow him to cause the most damage in the actual assault. When the time for the assault came, Agent entered the UN building through an underground road that led to a wall which, when cut off (or blown up, in this case), led to the UN's parking lot. Agent then shot his way through several LMB units in the garage until he got topside, where he saw the JTF being massacred by automatic turrets; however, he was able to hack them to turn them against the LMB troopers. He then went inside the building and killed more LMB soldiers until he found signs of struggle in a meeting room.
Agent used his SHD tech to create another 3D recording of the scene, like he did earlier on, and saw that the Rogue Agent from the Police Academy, now identified as Vanguard, had assigned two Rogue Agents to delay The Division's assault on the building until he and Eagle could safely evacuate the virologist. Moments after this, Agent intercepted a radio signal from the LMB commander claiming that Vanguard had betrayed them and that he was being evacuated himself, meaning that most of the operation was already a failure. However, Agent didn't have time to think of this as he killed one of the Rogue Agents from the recording and moved on to the General Assembly room, where he killed most of the remaining LMB soldiers, including the second Rogue Agent from the recording, and downloaded most of the LMB's data, including their plans for Manhattan after taking out The Division. Agent believed that the building had already been secured, but the LMB commander returned to take it back almost immediately - with an attack helicopter.
Agent rushed out of the building and watched as the LMB helicopter gunned down the JTF troopers at unbelievable speeds with no one to stop it, as the automatic turrets' controls had been destroyed, meaning that each turret had to be manually activated. He ran from one side of the compound to another activating the turrets, his pulse racing as the chopper tried to shoot him down with machine guns, then flares and finally missiles. While he did survive this assault, the turrets were all destroyed before the helicopter fell. Feeling like there was no other way, Agent prepared his assault rifle and opened fire on the helicopter, luckily hitting several weak spots before miraculously shooting the LMB commander (and helicopter pilot) through the head, causing the chopper to crash into a nearby building, killing the last major enemy commander and effectively dismantling one of the city's most powerful factions. However, victory wouldn't last long, as Agent received a mysterious signal from a residential building.
====Vanguard's Message====
Agent ran to the residential building where the signal was coming from, but found it to be locked. He picked the lock and made his way in, only to find out that he would be cut off from outside communications for as long as he was in there, meaning he would be alone for whatever happened. He walked up the stairs and found an open door. Upon entering it, he found a man identified as the creator of the Green Poison wearing a hazmat suit, dead at the hands of his own creation. However, he also found something interesting: a 3D recording created with SHD tech, waiting to be played.
As soon as Agent started the recording, he saw it was a message from Vanguard, the First Wave Rogue Agent from the Police Academy who'd also kidnapped the virologist from the Russian consulate and escaped the UN raid. In the message, Vanguard, who'd found the lab by questioning his hostage, introduced himself and told Agent that he would normally speak to him face to face, but wasn't sure about how he'd react now that he wasn't "being watched" by his handler and The Division. Vanguard claimed that Agent understood that the old rules, the government, died on Black Friday, the day of the outbreak, and that those who were smart enough and good enough to take what they needed would survive, yet he claimed that he was going to prosper. He then claimed that Agent could do so as well, but he'd taken an oath and had a duty. However, Vanguard simply told Agent that those were ways of saying that his conscience was messing with him. Vanguard then asked him if he knew about all that happened in the Dark Zone, how many of his allies had died only for the people in charge to "give up and put up a wall around it". Vanguard then encouraged Agent to visit the Dark Zone like Eagle had previously done. After this, Vanguard claimed that, whether he went there or not, it was irrelevant because the people Agent worked for no longer mattered. He then proclaimed that with his own virologist and the virus creator's notes and equipment, he was going to write his own rules. Before the recording ended, Vanguard told Agent to think about joining him and that he would be seeing him.
When he left the building, Agent was asked by his handler about what he saw inside the building. He told her about the Green Poison's creator's laboratory, but decided not to mention Vanguard's message. After this, Agent swore to himself that he would catch Vanguard, wherever he was hiding in the city.
====Facing the Past====
A while after receiving Vanguard's message, Agent was assigned a special mission. A Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) battery hidden in Columbus Circle had been captured by a group of remnants from the Rikers led by a man announcing himself as Slider. Agent remembered the name from the half-botched hostage rescue that resulted in the death of Phoenix Squadron. With a team of three other Second Wave Agents, Agent headed into Columbus Circle, but the team was ambushed by Rikers. Considering the situation too familiar, Agent shot down the ambushing Rikers and moved on before receiving a transmission in his SHD smartwatch... from Slider himself. Slider revealed that he intended to use the SAM battery to shoot down supply airplanes, hoping to steal weapons and technology from The Division. Agent and his team then heard an explosion from above, and looked up to see a supply airplane in flames crashing down on Columbus Circle.
Making their way over there, the team saw how Rikers were looting The Division's supplies, becoming deadlier than usual. Despite this, Agent and the others went in, shot down most of the Rikers and disabled the SAM battery. However, as this happened, Slider walked out of the plane wreckage, wielding a SHD Ballistic Shield and riot armor. The team fought Slider until he discarded the shield and lunged at the enemy closest to him, which turned out to be Agent.
Reliving the worst day of his life, Agent resisted as Slider tried to cut his throat open like years earlier, until another agent tackled him down and took away his knife. However, Slider pulled another knife out of his sleeve and into his hand. Refusing to let someone else die like that horrible day, Agent shot away Slider's knife with his handgun, giving the other agent time to jump back. However, Slider simply got up and pulled out his shotgun, but was gunned down by Agent, who refused to let him live anymore. Agent and his team then looked around themselves, seeing the mess they'd caused. As the three other agents left, Agent looked at Slider, took his riot armor for himself, and whispered that he was under arrest.
After this incident, Agent was secretly recruited to fight in the Ωmega War II.
====Ωmega War II====
=====Recruiting the Super Hero Agency=====
After being recruited into the Ωmega Army by unknown methods (although he was probably visited by Omegas from another worlds; considering that Eagle himself was visited by other Freezers, this option seems the most likely), Agent was assigned to recruit Fire Spider from Earth-5621 to help with the fight. However, he arrived as he and his allies, the Super Hero Agency, were under attack by the Freezer Army. Agent helped Fire Spider and the SHA escape, and trained them so they could hold a chance against the Freezers.
=====Death of Fire Spider=====
Agent had a low-key role for most of the war, participating in guerrilla operations against the Freezer Army and recruiting members for the Ωmega Army. However, this changed when Eagle murdered the Flaming Heroes of Earth-5621, as punishment for the SHA's interference, and broadcast it not only to all of Earth-5621, but also to Agent through their shared SHD comms. When Fire Spider saw this, he went back to his own universe and was ambushed by Eagle, who videocalled Agent to inform about this. The two of them then dragged the other's failures through their faces, with Agent reminding Eagle of how he also felt curiosity when they were recruited into The Division instead of them being "forcefully recruited" as the latter put it, and Eagle telling Agent that he could never keep his partners alive, directly mentioning Phoenix Squadron. As both Agent and Cyberbat watched, Eagle murdered Fire Spider.
=====The Final Battle=====
Agent was present during the Ωmega War II's final battle, taking out a lot of Freezers while making his way to the Freezer Army HQ. However, on the way, he walked up a tall, demolished building-like structure and found Eagle, beaten down and exhausted but not dead. The two then had a small conversation before Agent finally shot Eagle in the head. However, after the fight, he realized he'd forgotten to take away his Second Wave Agent Revival Mechanism, aka SWARM, which allowed Second Wave Agents to basically cheat death once every several hours. As he ran back to take it off him, he saw that Eagle had already revived and escaped.
As the heroes of the Ωmega Army were being taken back to their universes, Agent awarded the members of the SHA with the Ωmega War II Bravery Medal and gave an Ωmega Army Interdimensional Teleportation device to every member (except Fire Spider, who wasn't there and nonetheless already had one) before going home himself.
====Back Home====
After returning to his own world, Agent kept fighting against the now leaderless factions, who had either gone underground, establishing bases throughout the city's subway network, or banded together in a district where Vanguard, who'd pulled a fast one over every faction in the city besides the LMB and The Division, was rumored to be hiding. Agent spent weeks taking out factions in the subway tunnels while also looking for Vanguard, until disaster struck.
====The Blizzard & Attacked by Hunters====
As Agent's handler discovered a prototype cure for the Green Poison inside the Dark Zone left behind when the JTF had to retreat, reports of both an incoming blizzard, worse than any hurricane, and a rise in the Green Poison's lethality, which had now started to affect those who were previously immune to it, started to come in. Despite this, Agent went out with a hazmat suit in a helicopter with a team of three other Second Wave Agents to recover the cure before the factions in the DZ could accidentally destroy it in their shootouts. However, as they flew off, a publicity sign crashed onto them, breaking the helicopter's engine. Agent managed to jump off the helicopter and watched the three other agents jump off of it as well before it crashed into a building, killing the pilot. However, while Agent had managed to land safely, his hazmat suit had been ripped by a screw during the fall, which had not only broken his protection and infected him with the Green Poison, but also pierced his skin, creating a hemorrhage. Agent got up, took off his gas mask, seeing how it was useless if the Green Poison could now enter his skin through the broken suit, and fainted inside a building.
When Agent woke up, he discovered he'd contracted sepsis, and had exactly one hour before going into septic shock. Armed only with a pistol and a hazmat suit (as he'd left his usual gear behind before riding the helicopter), Agent ventured out into the harsh cold of the city in order to get to the Dark Zone and find the prototype cure.
With only ten minutes before going into septic shock, Agent, now wearing upgraded gear looted from enemy corpses, made his way into the Dark Zone and made a horrifying discovery: the corpses of the three other Second Wave Agents from the helicopter, with one of them pinned to a wall by an axe, but all of them missing their SHD smartwatches. Wanting to look into it but with imminent death looming over him, Agent cautiously moved through the Dark Zone, eventually finding the prototype cure and calling for extraction. However, he soon realized he was being hunted as his SHD tech stopped working for a moment. As it went back online, he saw a shadowy male figure stalking him. As it walked up, Agent saw that the mysterious man was wearing heavy armor with several SHD smartwatches hanging from his bulletproof vest like trophies. Agent and the man engaged in a firefight, which Agent was close to winning. However, the man pulled out several SHD seeker mines, surprising Agent, who jumped back... into a SHD remote controlled bomb. As the bomb blew up, Agent was paralyzed and could only watch as the man kicked him down to the floor, pulled an axe out and cleaved his head in half with it, killing him. However, as the man tried to take his SHD smartwatch away, Agent's body turned to dust and faded with the wind.
Agent reappeared somewhere else in the Dark Zone, still carrying the prototype cure and now somehow cured of the sepsis. After thinking about how this could've happened, he realized that he possessed the Ω-Gene, making him immortal against any opponent that wasn't Eagle. However, not wanting to expose this secret strength, he hid the prototype cure in a point of the Dark Zone that only he could access, waited until the blizzard stopped and called for extraction.
====Capturing Eagle====
After the battle with the mysterious man, Agent returned to base and was informed of a mysterious group of people only called "Hunters", who'd been hunting (hence the name) agents of The Division in the time he'd been missing (secretly fighting in the Ωmega War II). Agent then realized that the man who'd killed him was actually a Hunter. When asked about the Dark Zone mission, Agent was forced to lie in order to hide his Ω-Gene, claiming that he'd had to leave behind the prototype cure in order to outrun the Hunter.
The meeting was cut short by a call from Fire Spider of Earth-5621, who informed Agent that Eagle was killing civilians there. After hearing this, Agent created an improvised Hunter disguise, complete with borrowed SHD smartwatches from his teammates. He then left the base and used a portal to go to Earth-5621, where he, posing as a Hunter, intimidated Eagle into submission.
Agent was forced to hand Eagle over to the Super Hero Agency for custody, asking them to be careful for any signs of Dimensium Dementia, an interdimensional mental sickness developed when people from one universe stay in another for too long.
====Saving New York, Deactivation & Return to Civilian Life====
After returning to his own world once again, Agent fought harder than ever for New York City, hoping to eliminate all the remaining criminals and capture Vanguard. However, as it seemed that he was being successful in cleaning up the city, Agent found several phone recordings left by Vanguard claiming that he'd just missed him. After encountering more of these, Agent was led to the entrance of an underground tunnel, where he found a final message from Vanguard where he implied that he'd managed to bypass the quarantine and escape New York City. Despite being angered by the fact that he'd just let Vanguard escape under his very nose, Agent continued to fight, eventually cleaning both the outer boroughs and the Dark Zone.
By the end of the winter, a cure for the Green Poison was found, and the surviving agents of The Division, including Agent, were hailed as secret heroes and deactivated, returning to their civilian lives.
Months later, being unable to adapt to a normal life after having fought in The Division, Omega was offered his old spot back in the New York Police Department, with the city now repaired and rebuilt. With no other place to go, Omega accepted. When arriving at the precinct, however, he was surprised by a party attended by, amongst others, his old partner and handler from The Division, accompanied by the Chief of Police, who was holding a phone with the President of the United States on the line. After the President congratulated Omega for his work to restore the city, the Chief of Police granted him his old badge, with a Strategic Homeland Division Service Medal engraved into it. After the party, Omega was officially reinstated into the NYPD.
====Recruitment into the Group for Specialized Tactics====
Omega then served in the NYPD for two years, using his SHD technology (specifically the 3D recording creation system in his smartwatch and The Division's access to any and all forms of technology and communication) to solve crimes faster than any other detective in the force, until rumors of a dirty bomb terrorist attack started to spread in January 2024. Realizing that a second bioterrorist attack in months would not simply destabilize New York but obliterate its society entirely, Omega worked overtime to find the dirty bomb and those who would detonate it. However, during his investigations, Omega came across a four-man strike team from the US army.
While it seemed that a shootout between the two sides was practically inevitable, the situation was defused when one of the team members was revealed to have been a former member of The Division like Omega. Eventually Omega and the team reached a compromise and worked together to find the dirty bomb terrorists. After the situation was solved and the terrorists were eliminated, Omega was offered a spot into the Group for Specialized Tactics (abbreviated as GST and nicknamed "Ghost Recon"), the group from which the four-man team Omega encountered hailed from. Wanting to help not just his city but the whole world as well, Omega accepted.
Omega then spent the rest of 2024 training with the GST, familiarizing himself with the group's assets and ways of working in four-man strike teams, before being officially integrated into the group as a Ghost.
===As Ghost===
====First Mission & Operation Kingslayer====
During his first days in the GST, Ghost was assigned to a strike team for an undisclosed operation in 2025. While details of the operation are secret, Ghost presumably did so well that he was promoted to Ghost Lead, meaning that he could now lead a strike team as well. This led to the creation of Dweller Team, with Ghost as the leader.
In 2026, Dweller Team was sent to an unmentioned country in South America to carry out Operation Kingslayer, which consisted of deposing a drug lord whose organization, the Santa Blanca drug cartel (often abbreviated as SB), had apparently bombed a US embassy and killed a DEA agent. Ghost and his team cooperated with the CIA and local rebels to bring down Santa Blanca, eventually attracting the drug lord's attention within months. After finding a message from the drug lord on the Internet, Dweller Team went to a so-called "peace meeting". Expecting an ambush from Santa Blanca, Dweller Team instead found four sports cars and a phone waiting for them. As Ghost picked it up, he heard the drug lord's voice on the other side, who told him that the cars were a hiring bonus and invited Dweller Team to work for him, as they would make a lot more than they did by working for the government. While some members considered accepting the offer (whether this was supposed to lead to a sarcastic response by said members or not is unknown to this day), Ghost stepped in and rejected the offer as he detonated the cars.
After this, Dweller Team continued to dismantle Santa Blanca until they forced the drug lord to retire to his mausoleum in construction. However, as this happened, the team was betrayed by the local rebels, who wanted to show that they needed no help from "capitalist yankees with a superiority complex". Dweller Team then raced to the mausoleum and found the drug lord holding the rebel leader's head in his hand, sneeringly throwing it away before confidently facing Ghost and the others. However, as this happened, their CIA contact walked in with the President of the United States on the phone, claiming that the drug lord had made a deal with the Department of Justice to reveal information about his opponents in exchange for immunity from any US-related organizations, which extended to the GST and Dweller Team. Frustrated, Ghost was forced to watch as the drug lord was taken away, both knowing that the latter would inevitably walk free.
====Undercover====
After Operation Kingslayer, Ghost was tasked to infiltrate three gangs connected to Santa Blanca in order to find a mysterious man known as The Invisible, responsible for SB's international smuggling network, by himself, with only his CIA handler as backup. To do this, he posed as a rogue agent from The Division looking for mercenary work. While the cover was firmly built and almost foolproof, it was a little bit too perfect; to further cement his false rogue backstory, Ghost used his old SHD technology for the gangs' benefit, which turned him into an ACTUAL rogue agent wanted by the US government.
During this time, Ghost performed a normally impossible feat nicknamed "the Planeshot", which consisted of firing a single 12.7 caliber bullet from a D-50 handgun at an incoming plane fifty meters away and getting closer every second, managing to kill the pilot of the plane with a headshot and avoid getting crushed by the plane or its wreckage without moving. This feat would make Ghost a celebrity of sorts amongst his peers.
Eventually, after faking his death, Ghost was able to earn The Invisible's trust and get him to agree to a meeting. However, the meeting was a trap, since as soon as Ghost stepped in, he was knocked out and sent to a maximum security prison. While in his prison cell, Ghost was taunted by The Invisible about how he was already so far away. Fortunately, The Invisible, amused by Ghost's abilities, opened his cell door remotely and gave him a last chance to catch him. Wasting no time, Ghost snuck out of the prison block, got his gear back and ran away unseen. However, he later found out that his cover had been blown, meaning that the three gangs he'd infiltrated were out for his blood.
Wanted by the US government, hunted by those he'd infiltrated and supported only by his handler, Ghost seemed to be running out of time. However, he was contacted by a local fisherman who'd heard stories of where The Invisible was hiding. Ghost traded the info in exchange for taking the fisherman to the United States, who wanted to live the classic American Dream. Using the fisherman's info, Ghost found The Invisible's underground base, protected by a private militia. Despite this, Ghost snuck into the base and found a Palm TX PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) from 2005, which Ghost decided to take as a possible clue. However, as he did this, the base started to self-destruct, forcing Ghost to hijack a vehicle and drive out. As he reached the surface, however, he came under attack by a helicopter with dual machine guns apparently piloted by The Invisible. Ghost managed to shoot down the helicopter and order an evacuation to the United States. He was then taken to a CIA base to scan the contents of the PDA. However, as the scan began, a massive data leak started. While CIA officers tried to stop it, a voice taunted them over the computers and speakers. Ghost recognized this voice as the fisherman's and realized that he was actually The Invisible, the one he killed earlier merely being a decoy. As The Invisible laughed, the data leak went on.
After this, Ghost was sent to the GST's Fort Bragg in North Carolina, the team's main base, to report to his superiors. However, it turned out that they wanted to arrest him for illegally using SHD technology. Despite the situation, Ghost was able to convince his superiors with help from the CIA that he was just using it as part of his rogue agent cover. While this resulted in the illicit SHD tech use charges being dropped, Ghost was subject to a court-martial for all the actions he took against the US government while undercover. As a result, he was to be confined to the limits of Fort Bragg until the court-martial ended.
====Operation: Paradox====
Ghost spent the following two years in house arrest inside Fort Bragg, with communications to the outside restricted exclusively to phone calls to his family, as the court-martial and the debates stemming from it went on.
One day, Ghost was resting in his room when suddenly, he was blinded and abducted by a flash of white light. He reappeared inside a white room with no shadows alongside Steel Sentinel, Odinson, Blue Titan of Earth-12121, Thunderbolt, Brawn, Twister of the Despairverse, and Silverbat. While most of the aforementioned men started a brawl amongst themselves, Ghost, Steel Sentinel and later Brawn decided to stay out of it. Eventually a man calling himself "D" appeared, wearing a white outfit with a mask, and explained that the Super Hero Agency of Earth-5621 had been kidnapped by someone, or someTHING, with interdimensional teleportation capabilities. Ghost and this team, named Team Paradox by D, went to Earth-5621 to investigate. After a confrontation derived from a misunderstanding, Team Paradox was joined by Sam Sidson and Adam, the SHA's two latest recruits. The team then arrived at a winterlike universe, where Ghost had to sacrifice himself to save the team from giant wolves. Eventually Ghost reappeared somewhere else, thanks to his Ω-Gene, and followed his teammates from the shadows. As the team found the SHA's kidnappers getting away in a truck, Ghost jumped up, grabbed the truck's rear bumper and held on to it as the vehicle made its way to Earth-5634, a post-apocalyptic world. After falling off from the truck, Ghost went back for Team Paradox and took them to Earth-5634.
Making their way through the post-apocalyptic wastelands of Earth-5634, Team Paradox was ambushed by raiders. While they managed to fight them off, D was seriously injured. However, thanks to that world's version of Fire Spider, they managed to get him to a doctor. However, even though the doctor was able to save his life, D had to be left behind. Ghost and the team then found some clues as to the SHA's kidnappers' location and went there immediately. After having an argument with Sam over his lifestyle, Ghost led the team into battle against one of the supposed kidnappers, eventually subduing him.
The team then travelled to Earth-65381 in the year 2022, days before Christmas Eve, and met with Criminal, the Omega X of that world, and helped him with some of his operations after discovering that his enemies had apparently allied with the SHA's kidnappers. After a wild west styled duel with Silverbat ended with both of them surrendering, Team Paradox assisted Criminal in assaulting his enemies' base in the mountains. Eventually the team came face to face with the SHA's kidnappers, who escaped after apparently initiating a nuclear countdown. The team looked for a nuke far and wide, but found none. Eventually, when the countdown stopped, Ghost realized that the "nuclear countdown" was a bluff and they'd fallen for it. Going back for the kidnappers' computer, they found a picture of Earth-12305, Steel Sentinel's world. However, before they could react, they were once more abducted by a white light.
Team Paradox ended up in the white room where they first assembled. However, instead of facing D, they found a version of Fire Spider clad in golden armor who urged Team Paradox to disassemble and let others find the SHA. Ghost recognized this Fire Spider as a Champion of Eternity and admitted that they had no hopes of defeating him. Despite this, Ghost shot the Champion of Eternity and claimed that they would fight anyway. Even with the aid of the Lord of Shadows, Team Paradox's newest recruit, the Champion of Eternity still made short work of the team before being called off by an unknown entity.
After this, the team went to Earth-12305, where, after a short distraction and encountering yet another member, Bloodlust, they managed to track the SHA's kidnappers to an underground base. While Steel Sentinel decided to stay behind to fight off the base's protections, Ghost led the others into the unknown, where they actually found themselves face to face with the SHA's kidnappers, who were not expecting visit this time. Fortunately for the kidnappers, the base received a transmission from Agent Day, who announced the SHA's kidnappers as members of the new incarnation of the long thought deceased Robber Penguin Agency. Agent Day then claimed that he would kill the SHA and Team Paradox in three days and allowed the RPA members to teleport away from the base. In an attempt to figure out where they'd gone, Ghost looked into their computer, which had been seemingly wiped, and miraculously found some pieces of data, albeit corrupted. However, he was confident he could find out what the data included if they returned to his homeworld. However, as he tried to teleport the team to his homeworld, they encountered a Multiversal Interference Cloud, which blocked the way, before the portal vanished. Ghost then realized, much to his and the team's chagrin, that the teleportation device he'd been using had run out of energy, leaving the team stranded where they were. As it seemed they would never leave that place again, D showed up, apparently healed from his wounds, and took them through another route to Ghost's world, which would take them through multiple universes.
==Personality==
Ghost is a cunning individual, with most of his actions already planned beforehand. He likes to have control of a situation, but is almost always prepared in case things go south. His years of combat experience have allowed him to craft an external personalty consisting basically of callousness, which individuals like Agent Day seem to mistake with ego.
However, beneath that carefully crafted shell lies a shattered soul. Haunted by the death of Phoenix Squadron in his police days and his days in The Division scarring him both physically and mentally, Ghost suffers from survivor's guilt, sometimes asking himself why did he get to live when so many others didn't.
Despite this, Ghost isn't antisocial. He works well with others, specially those who take their job seriously but have time to be friendly off-duty, like Eagle. He takes pleasure in instructing others, being able to successfully teach Steel Sentinel about things like the complexity of the Multiverse, modern society and parachutes using a few words.
Ghost also claims to have the deaths of all those he's ever killed etched in his mind, to the point of being able to recall the exact number of people he's killed over the years.
==Trivia==
*Ghost's codenames can vary with the situation he finds himself in. This is demonstrated by how he went by Agent during Omegaverse, when he was in The Division, and how he now goes by Ghost while he's in the GST during Paradox.
*Despite his brief time in it, Ghost is considered a top-notch member of the Omega Army, having become the leader of the Coldbloods, the Army's elite strike team, in his first day.
