The Silent Knight

## Summary

### Story

Johnny Dawson was a homeless boy, fighting just to survive. At the age of 12, his fight was about to reach a whole new level. He was kidnapped by the international terrorist, Plague, for the sole purpose of playing mind games with the the agent, Water Bear. Johnny's throat was cut right in front of the agent, just to show how far Plague was willing to go, but he was secretly saved and kept alive.

Since the incident costed him his voice, Plague thought it was a natural match to teach him the ways of silent assassination. For the next 5 years, he was brainwashed, injected with experimental chemicals, and trained to take down the most skilled of soldiers and mercenaries. After the declaration of Code Ruin (Time of such brutal war, that a military is forced to seek help from outlawed mercenaries) by the United States, he was located and beaten by Water Bear. Gaining full control of his mind back, he aligned himself with Water Bear and the militia group, The Black Coats. He now focuses on finding the man who turned him into The Silent Knight, Plague, and one day ending him, putting a stop to his reign of chaos and destruction.

### Personality

The Silent Knight is usually cold and distant, but he does have his kinder moments. This has allowed him bond with his fellow Black Coat mercenaries in the hell that is war, especially with the female sniper of the group, Dead Center.

**Standard Equipment:**

 Maxim 9: A pistol with a built in silencer to make most shots undetectable.

 Nanotech Camo-Suit: A light reflecting suit that makes him almost invisible. It also acts as a bullet proof suit and protects his skin from chemical weapons. It's so durable that it required a massive EMP blast from an orbiting satellite to be disabled.

 Nanotech Mask: A mask that can expand to cover his whole head to act in unison with the suit. It also gives added protections against gas, gunfire, and allows him to see in night vision and infrared.

 Plague Knife: The same kind of knife regularly carried by Plague. It is based off of the real world Jagdkommodo Knife.
