## Biography

### Early life

Kinsley and his older brother Corbin were born to a noble class British father and an American mother in Broken Arrow, becoming the first generation in their family to be born and raised in Broken Arrow. Kinsley had a very good relationship with his older brother but the two sometimes scuffle over the indecisiveness of the other. While Corbin decided to undergo training under an unknown private military company, Kinsley continuing getting his education, and was one of the most intelligent students in the entire school district. He became qualified for one of the most prestigious colleges in Broken Arrow, but he declined, preferring to pursue a similar career as his older brother.

### Task Force Zeta

Kinsley and Corbin first found out about Task Force Zeta after Corbin uncovered intel related to them on one of the missions he went on. While Kinsley refused to associate himself with it, Corbin was interested in it, and despite Kinsley's pleas, eventually contacted Xandros to set up a meeting. After a few weeks, Xandros eventually met up with the brothers at an area in Devereaux. Corbin expressed interest in joining the group and even proposed a name for it: the Broken Arrow Communist Party. However, Xandros declined the name and instead wanted to name his team Task Force Zeta so that Leviathan would remember them. Xandros made Corbin the leader of the military police force, while Kinsley was made leader of the special activities division, citing his intelligence as the reason why he was chosen.

### First contact with ICM

Roughly a few weeks after Xandros signed an armistice with the Iron Clad Mercenaries, Kinsley met up with Zaria at the Iron Clad Prison. At first, Zaria was initially hostile toward Kinsley until he revealed he was a key leader in Task Force Zeta. Zaria laughed at him, telling him that his "slim" figure makes him an unlikely candidate, though Kinsley fires back at her, citing that his intelligence was the whole reason he was chosen to be the SAD leader, and calls Zaria an imbecile. The two eventually fight though Kinsley emerged as the victor since Zaria was "going easy" on him because she liked him. However, Kinsley rejects Zaria's feelings, calling her an "ugly cyclops". Zaria laughs at Kinsley again and tells him that she was joking with him. Kinsley asks how Zaria lost her eye, to which he is told to "mind his own business". Kinsley then leaves the prison, though he says he would come back soon to pay Zaria another visit if she is present.

### "A bad day to be Zeta"

Task Force Zeta would suffer the most significant losses when Xandros organized a raid on a top secret lab, though unbeknownst to him, the Dark Moon Mercenaries were also present at the lab. Both Task Force Zeta forces and Dark Moon forces confronted each other at some point, to which the two exchanged fire, causing a battle to ensue. The battle eventually ended when the Dark Moons killed off the majority of Task Force Zeta's soldiers that were present at the lab and captured a few others. Angered by this defeat, Xandros personally ordered Kinsley to insert deep cover agents within the Dark Moon Mercenaries in order to eliminate both Zack and Vincent, leaders of the Dark Moons. However, this proved to be a complete failure, as one of the agents ended up being killed in an operation, another was ousted and executed, while the others were captured. Kinsley then concluded that the Dark Moon Mercenaries are smarter than they initially expected and refused to send anymore agents. Xandros became furious due to the heavy losses Task Force Zeta has taken during the past few weeks and vowed to reform Task Force Zeta, with Kinsley personally helping him in order to make up for his recently failure.

### Prototype Soldiers

Under the guidance of Kinsley, Xandros began experimenting with a combination of psychotherapy and intensive special forces training which were used to create what would eventually be called Zeta SPEC soldiers. However, the first subject for the SPEC program ended up turning against Xandros and Kinsley and were forced to terminate him. Kinsley then decided that Task Force Zeta soldiers are not to be used as subjects, rather, newer members are to go through the SPEC program instead of their regular training. The second subject, a recent recruit, was put into the SPEC program and became one of the first successful SPEC soldiers, gaining the codename "Foxtrot" due to his last name starting with F. However, Kinsley discouraged Xandros from sending Foxtrot on any missions due to his lack of live combat experience and required continuous training, much to Xandros's dismay.
