Black Falcon

> "*Humans make me sick, they have done nothing but ruin and destroy the world! They're just filthy worms feasting on its carcass! My whole life has been nothing more than just bitterness and hatred and I have always dreamed of dying the most violent death imaginable! Here's my motto: no life is worth saving, and I will put in the grave as many as I can. It is time for me to kill and die, my genocide crusade begins... here!*"

**Black Falcon**(real name **Aarion J. Poirier**) is a violently misanthropic psychopath who feels utter disgust and contempt for all of humanity, wishing that he could destroy as many humans as possible. He wants to kill everyone,  regardless of their race, religion, gender, sexuality and age. He is also a sadist, comparing killing people to "being high on drugs."

## Biography

Not much is known about his early life, except for the fact that he joined the military at a young age, but the experiences warped his mind and led him to develop very nihilistic feelings about human life.

He committed murder throughout most of his life, but suddenly stopped and went into hiding in 1995, leading police to think he'd dropped off the grid. However, he abruptly resurfaced in 2016, much to the surprise of police and citizens across the country.

He was the sole perpetrator in the New York City Murders in the summer of 2016, wanting to wage a one-man war against the entire city. His rampage drew the attention of Gerald Moore, Derek Westbrook and Vince Crosby, both of whom made the mission personal when the Black Falcon killed off close friends of both Gerald, Derek, and Vince.

He was eventually arrested for his crimes, but was later released because of a technicality during his trial. This angered quite a lot of New Yorkers, who decided to join an outraged Gerald Moore in their crusade of vigilante justice.

However, his downfall wouldn't be until 2017, when he murders several backpackers before he is finally brought down and killed by Vince Crosby, now a Task Force Reaper oeprative, and former Russian Army soldier Nikolai Kalinin, along with a handful of vengeful surviving backpackers.

## Personality

The man has deeply nihilistic views about people, claiming that "no life is worth saving", even going so far as to compare humans to mere "cattle that deserve to be slaughtered." He is quite obviously criminally insane, having absolutely no remorse, guilt, or empathy for his actions. He is quite the despicable guy.

However, his military experience, in addition to his post traumatic stress after having been in a warzone might offer some explanation to his twisted mental state: he was revealed to be a former member of the United States Army as a Specialist, and that he witnessed a lot of messed up things in the military, which helped to explain his twisted and warped views humanity.

At first he was seen as a sympathetic character when Gerald first found out about him, any sympathy anyone had for him was lost after the Black Falcon brutally murdered some of Gerald's close friends, causing Gerald to vow to kill him and avenge their deaths.
