## Biography

### Background

Born in October 16th 1986, to a normal, idyllic family; Carl Danielle Phoenix began his military career as a Panamoan marine. When his wife died in childbirth, he put his career on hold to care for his daughter, Virginia. He returned to work three years ago as a special forces operative for Nexus Global Security, or *Global Security*. Though it is seldom as he is a Delta HAWK operative.

### Operation Blackout

Phoenix is the main hero of Operation Xaneryava. He is sent to Xaneryava along with Bull under command of Nexus Global Security to intercept a terrorist attack by the Nexus Liberation Army and prevent the theft of chemical weapons being stored in Xaneryava by the Sacrosanct Defense Coalition

At the NGS headquarters in Shiko no toshi, Phoenix explains to his superior Roux that the attack on Xaneryava was actually a cover-up for something bigger, and that higher-ups at Global Security attempted to silence him by threatening his daughter Virginia. However before he can explain, he is knocked unconscious in an explosion from a NLA chemical attack in downtown Daitoshi, and wakes up a month later in Yanoji Temple, which has been converted into a makeshift hospital for refugees of the Tokyo attack.

After waking up in Rinnoji Temple, Phoenix finds that the temple has been overrun by a street gang known as the Raiders. Phoenix makes his way out of the temple and rendezvous with Ekundayu Tukura, who make their way to Roux's safehouse in downtown Daitoshi and deal with the pursuing Raiders.

After the safehouse is secure, Phoenix finishes explaining the truth about Xaneryava to Roux, and how the NLA attacks on Xaneryava was actually a cover-up orchestrated by Nexus Global Security to steal the chemical weapons, which were then used in the attack on Daitoshi. Roux also shows Phoenix an intercepted message between Jonathan and NGS CEO Kirk Waylecroft, revealing Waylecroft as an alias for international terrorist McLean Saunders who has been masterminding the NLA attacks in an attempt to start a major world war, with Jon having been on Saunders' payroll the entire time.

Afterwards, Phoenix and Alex Hawk head to a construction site to spy on a negotiation between Saunders and Frank. After spying on the meeting, Phoenix kills Frank with a sniper rifle and Roux ordered to escape the area for extraction.

Phoenix along with Hawk and Tukura are then sent by Roux to infiltrate NGS HQ in Daitoshi and steal data confirming Global Security and Saunders' involvement in the terrorist attacks. After stealing the data from the mainframe, Phoenix heads to the roof of the building for extraction where he is confronted by Saunders, who contacts him by radio and threatens his daughter Virginia. After Saunders' helicopter shoots down Phoenix's extraction chopper, Phoenix shoots at Saunders' cockpit, causing it to crash onto the roof and kills Saunders in the ensuing confrontation.

After the death of Saunders, Phoenix is contacted by Roux to discuss the aftermath of the incidents in Daitoshi and Xaneryava, and reveals that his daughter Virginia is safe and that he is with her now. Just as their conversation wraps up, Roux tells Phoenix to wait, as she's just received important notice of an urgent assignment.

## Personality

A Panamoan marine veteran, Carl Danielle Phoenix is very confident in his abilities. His tough military attitude, however, does occasionally make him seem less intelligent. When in combat, he tends to be very serious and short-tempered, particularly when concerning other allies' mistakes and aggressive opponents. His short temper also extends to his Delta HAWK team members; in his first outing with the team, Carl/Caydan made no effort whatsoever to hide his utter contempt and hatred for the criminals and thieves under his command, referring to them as "scumbags" to Dominique "Roux" David, threatening to blow their heads off for pissing him off and being not straight to the point. Despite this, He was not above requesting Andrews' assistance in keeping the team in check. Moreover, Phoenix is quite loyal to Dominique "Roux" David and her own group, despite the intimidating rumors around her. Indeed, Carl even notes one can get used to Roux's intimidating personality after a while.
