Grunt

*"Guess what, Armada soldiers weren't the only things I managed to scavenge."* -Grunt, to Tyrant Squadron.

Grunt is an average virus, created to corrupt and destroy computers. Grunt and his men were stationed in a captured Virus computer to guard it and do frequent patrols. Then the Armada war broke out, he received news that the Armada was taking over computers here and there. Including corrupted ones. He ordered his squad to prepare for any incoming Armada attacks, but it was too late. The Armada arrived to the corrupted computer Grunt's squad was protecting, and it was easily bombarded by Armada bombers. They started to land down some troops for the ground assault, and they engaged Grunt's squad. One by one viruses were being slain, it was a traumatizing experience for Grunt to see his entire squad being slaughtered. He relied on his cowardice insticts and ran away as quick as he could, he managed to go to a forest where he would live for a very long time.

**History & Contributions**

Through those tough months, he managed to survive with the help of Mother Nature. He started to hunt down animals to eat, and crafted himself a robe out of cow leather. One day while he was picking up wild berries, he was encountered by Plant Soldier 31 and Sam. He took out a spear, but they both explained that they're both allies and not foes. He put his spear away and explained to the both of them what happened, and how he even got here. They understood everything, and asked if they can help them since there's an Armada Factory nearby. He agreed and went to the others, he explained to them that there are multiple shortcuts to the Armada Factory, but at the same time they need to build up a strategy on how to get inside of it without being caught. He thought up an idea on how to sneak in, he managed to scavenge up a giant Armada tank that was abandoned. They used that to sneak into the factory, and quickly took care of all of the Anti-Aircraft Turrets.

Later on, he participated in the battle against the Armada Factory. He was in a group with Wires, Plant Soldier 31, and Sam to take over an Armada energy bridge. They all went in and hacked the energy bridge to let all of the Program Resistance troops into the factory to take care of all of the ground troops. They soon got comm'd by Sarge, he told all of them that he took care of the Armada Commander within the factory, and that it's going to self destruct soon. He then told Wires that the Factory's data logs are still within a hidden panel in the facility. Wires and Grunt soon took off to the hidden panel and retrieved the data, soon they found Plant Soldier 31 laying down on the floor unconscious. They all evacuated as soon as possible, and the Factory exploded.

**Equipment & Personality**

Grunt has a rough and sturdy personality, he usually doesn't work well with any other species besides Viruses, and it can be counted as one of his weaknesses. He isn't usually cocky, unlike most viruses are, but he has been known to think he has the upper hand in battles.

Grunt has a unique taste in weapons, usually choosing the ones that can do high amounts of damage (particularly on firewalls). He used the standard virus battleaxe and hatchet. He was also known to be well trained with using blasters, and sometimes uses it as a melee weapon. He wore modified V-Class Lieutenant armor underneath his robes.
