Blain Chewalski

## Character Overview

Sergeant Blain Chewalski was a U.S. Army Soldier and a member of Delta Force. Blain acted as the team's heavy hitter, notably carrying a handheld M134 Minigun during the mission to Guatemala. Blain was a gruff, cocky mercenary, who had a habit of chewing tobacco and spewing profanities.

In the credits his character, played by Jesse Ventura, is referred to simply as Blain, and his last name is never mentioned in the film. We can assume his last name is Chewalski as Ventura also played a character by this name in the movie Ricochet. Predator exists in the Prime Timeline and Ricochet exists in the A Timeline so we can assume these are the same person in different timelines.

## Biography (P)

### Early Life

Blain joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Blain and Mac Cooke served together as part of the 101st Airborne Division, including operations in Cambodia. At one point, their platoon was ambushed south of Khe San and virtually wiped out, with everyone other than Blain and Mac being killed, walking out without a scratch.

In 1980, Mac and Blain both joined the Delta Force team under the direction of Colonel John "Dutch" Matrix. As part of the unit, they saw operations in Angola, Cambodia, Lebanon and Afghanistan, and recently ended a terrorist siege at the Sudanese Embassy in Berlin, Germany.

### 1986 Mission to the Republic of Val Verde

in 1986, Delta Force was sent to Val Verde to help depose the acting military dictator, Arius Pérez. On Matrix's team was Bennett, Lawson, Forrestal, Mac Cooke, and Blain. The mission was a success and Arius was removed from office,

### 1987 Mission to the Val Verdian Boarder in Predator

In 1987, Delta Force was sent back to Val Verde on a mission of a top secret nature. Blane and Delta Force landed on a beach in Conta Mana, Val Verde where Matrix met former commanding officer General Phillips. Phillips requested Matrix and his Delta Force which included: Poncho, Billy Bear, Mac Cooke, Blain, and Hawkins for this mission. The goal was to rescue a Val Verdian cabinet minister and his aide who had been kidnapped by nearby Guatemalan Guerrillas at the Val Verde border in the Chapada das Mangabeiras low lying mountain range. Matrix was also reacquainted with an old friend Al Dillon. Dillon was now working for the CIA and wanted to go along with Dutch. Dutch objected at first, saying his team only worked alone but eventually agreed that Dillon could accompany them. A helicopter transported Dutch and his team deep into Guatemala and dropped them off in the jungle.

Like several members of Dutch's team, Blain took an immediate dislike to Dillon, whom he apparently deemed unworthy of commanding Matrix on the ground. Unlike other members, though, Blain was only too happy to make this dislike obvious. After finding the skinned corpses of Jim Hopper and his squad, Blain readied his handheld Minigun for "payback", payback that he dished out in abundance when the team reached the guerrilla camp that was their objective.

When the team reached the guerrilla encampment, Blain's mistrust of Dillon was vindicated when he personally discovered the "cabinet ministers" they had been sent to rescue were actually colleagues of Dillon's from the CIA, and that the entire mission had been a set-up. Delta Force then made their way to the extraction point unaware they are being tracked by an unidentified creature. The creature kills Hawkins and Matrix organized a search to find Hawkins’ body.

The others subsequently spread out to search for Hawkins' missing body and Blain became the hunter's next victim. The creature critically injured Blain by shooting him in the neck with a Speargun, before finishing him off with its Plasmacaster, blowing a hole through Blain's chest. The creature then attempted to drag Blain's corpse away, but was thwarted by Mac, who fired upon the hunter and forced it to flee.

The remaining team members subsequently wrapped Blain's body in his poncho and took it with them. However, that night the creature, which is revealed as the Jungle Hunter Predator slipped through the mines and trip flares set up around the team's position and reclaimed the cadaver. This act was the first indication to the survivors that they were being hunted rather than simply eliminated. After recovering his corpse, the Jungle Hunter presumably removed Blain's skull as a trophy.

### Legacy

Mac Cooke took Blain's death personally, and marked the Predator with a personal vendetta that he would carve Blain's name into the creature before he killed it.
