Grayson Pierce

**Grayson Pierce** is an agent for the American special forces Sigma Force.

## Early Life

Gray was born the United States. He joined the Army at eighteen, the Rangers at twentiy one, serving distinction off and on the field. At age twenty-three, he was court martialed for striking a superior officer.

It was events in Bosnia, and Painter might have done the same. Still, rules were rules, forcing him to spend a year in Leavenworth. Sigma Force recruited him right out of prison as his skills were way too valuable, three years prior.

He had spent a year at Leavenworth.
During his time in prison, Grayson studied, a rigorous regimen: a study of advanced chemistry and Taoism. This had intrigued Dr Sean McKnight, Sigma's former director. In many ways, he proved to be a walking contradiction: a Welshman living in Texas, a student of Taoism who still carried a rosary, a soldier who studied chemistry in prison. It was this very uniqueness of his mind that had won him membership into Sigma.

However, it came at a price as Grayson loved the lone wolf tactic and disliked team.

During his time in Sigma Force, he was not allowed to tell his parents anything about his profession and current position. He had told his parents that he was a lowly research technician for a D.C. research company after is court-martial, a cover. His parents knew nothing of his connection to Sigma Force, and that is the preferred way.
