### Background

With his service in the 24th SAS Regiment, Sloane Duquesne has spent most of his career fighting in the shadows. He's been shot, captured, abandoned, blown up, locked up, tortured, and left for dead. Duquesne is a veteran of military operations in nearly every conflict-prone corner of the planet, distinguishing himself with acts of gallantry and intrepidity.

### Assassination of Khaled Moyani

Whilst he was still a Lieutenant, Sloane was involved in an assassination attempt on Separatist politician Khaled Moyani under the command of then Captain Leckart Forest in Rackanosze, Radreeian. The attempt was unsuccessful as he only injured his left arm after a botched shot and they were forced to escape unsuccessfully.

### Operation Ramaza

Acting as the field commander for the regiment, Duquesne led his new unit on countless covert operations with the key goal of capturing/killing Ramaza, who by that time had established himself as the new leader of a terrorist cell of the Separatist Collective party in the wake of Khaled Moyani death.

On October 8, 2008, Sloane led a joint Task Force 609/Delta HAWK operation codenamed Operation Ramaza to raid an Evalk Separatist base in Radreeian suspected to house Ramaza. Sloane conducted the raid along with Mohawk, Lieutenant Derek "Skullface" Garrett, Sergeant Sean "Buckethead" Vickers, and Delta HAWK operatives Sergeant Grinch and Master Sergeant Sandman. However, the raid went awry and the strike force was overwhelmed by dozens of Ultranationalist soldiers. He was captured after making a last stand.

He was reportedly sent into the Gulag.
