## Biography

### Hunting Al-Bashir

On January 1st 2022, Darrell Jackson alongside a hefty marine battalion led by Steve Campo attack the city of Khafji in Saudi Arabia in search of Faruk Al-Bashir, the treacherous leader of the OpFor due to his recent coup in which he overthrew and murdered the former president. After breaching the building he was supposedly in, the squad of Misfit 1-3 finds nothing but a recording of Al-Bashir speaking. He was never there.

On January 2nd, the squad attempts to intercept a cargo truck that Faruk is trying to recieve. However, it had a convoy with russian ground forces in it, and the USMC are quickly overwhelmed; causing them to call in an extraction, resulting in only Jackson and Quinton Matkovic making it. West is forced to find other means of extraction, Mackera is killed in action, and Steve Campo is captured and brought to a high-security prison in the Kunlun Mountains.

On January 3rd, Jackson leads the squad into the prison that Campo had been brought to, fighting through all the troops. They are then confronted by Igor Mikailskovich who guards a mortally wounded Campo. Jackson is able to non-lethaly take him down as Quinton wanted him for "interrogation", but this is ultimately his undoing as a chopper attacks, knocking them all unconcious. Jackson wakes up to see Vladimir Makarov walking over; in which he shoots Quinton in the head, and walks off as his chopper is taken down, and West rescues the remains of the team.

### Nano-Chemicals Crisis

Taking back the reigns of leader, Steve Campo leads the team to Sankang, Laos on January 5th in order to finally kill Al-Bashir. After fighting through dozens and dozens of enemies, the team finds Faruk but not in-person, but once again on a video recording.

They figure out that he had a "nano-chemicals" launch inbound for Sankang, and the precious cargo that was being delivered in the mountains was production of those and they were "fools" to not stop it. The team attempts to escape, but the nano-chemical's strike; taking out their helicopter with the EMP-capabilities and wiping out the entire battalion minus West and Jackson. Minutes later, Jackson awakens and is able to find protective equipment and get to a bunker while everyone else slowly succumbs to their wounds.

On January 6th, Jackson and any other surviving marines linked up and headed to Amsterdam to try and find Faruk Al-Bashir. However, the SAS team led by John Price had gotten to him first and killed him, but Makarov sent forces over and attacked them. Jackson comes in at the nick of time and rescues the SAS team.

On January 7th, Price leads a USMC-SAS joint operation to Trabzon Airfield to take down a cargo plane which is carrying another load of nano-chemicals. However, due to the maximum security and the presence of Makarov in which he orders reinforcements after noticing the intruders; they are forced to only put a tracker on it as it flies away.

Later that day, the team tracks down the cargo plane to the Alborz Mountains in Iran, where it had crashed due to the efforts of a USMC squad. However, they were ambushed and killed by OpFor couriors who attempted to flee into the caves. While Jackson and his men provided overwatch, the SAS were able to kill the OpFor insurgents and secure the chemicals. Jackson and his men returned to HQ while the others returned to their own SAS base.

### Invasion of Baghdad

On January 8th, a full on invasion ensued on Makarov's Headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq led by SAS, USMC and the U.S Army/Air Force. While the SAS moved into the interior of the HQ, they were ambushed by some Inner Circle soldiers, but they were fended off by Jackson who rescued them and assisted them in attacking Makarov's launch site. They are able to stop the launch, but at the cost of many lives. If Igor Mikailskovich died in Manhunt, Jackson will survive, but if he survived up to this point; then he and Jackson will kill each other.
