## Biography

### Bloodshed War

In 2020, he was given ownership of his father's gym, Boxworth's, after his father was killed by the Coronavirus. *Captain Legion*

Arthur was among the soldiers in a march that would be the last legion of soldiers to enter the war against Sokovia. He then boarded the HMS Savager, which then headed towards Denmark.

When the Sokovians began attacking the Royal Navy Fleet, Arthur was summoned by Zeke for aid in loading a Shadow Torpedo into the Torpedo launcher. Moments later, after the last Sokovian Submarine was destroyed by Captain Benn, Arthur was among the British Soldiers cheering in victory.

Upon arrival to Denmark, Arthur hopped aboard a transport and headed towards the Base Camp. At the camp, Arthur listened in as Zeke mentions that he was being sent down to Austria. *The Nature of War Part 1: Battle of the North Sea*When Zeke returned to Denmark days later, Arthur was informed of the slaughter that had occurred, before cheering Zeke up. He was then ordered to head to Bratislava, Slovakia, and joined Hilde and Zeke in doing so.

In Bratislava, Arthur is recruited to aid Zeke and Hilde in preventing a Sokovian Death Squad from reaching Odesa, Ukraine. He then told Hilde that if she enlisted in the Crimson Bulldog, she would know that Zeke ALWAYS calls the shots. He then boarded a truck and headed for Odesa.

In Odesa, he was ordered by Zeke to board a boat before asking why. He was informed of the Underwater Base built by Baron Zemo's orders before heading out to Sea.

At some point, Arthur was ordered by Zeke to stop the boat. Arthur discovered that they had drones from Project: Arson loaded on the boat, before being ordered by Zeke to lead the boat into the thick fog that began to surround them. When the Sokovians began attacking, Arthur had helped Zeke in fighting the Sokovians as Hilde travelled to the Underwater Base. After taking cover, Arthur watched as "Killer" jumped onto enemy ships and began slaughtering Sokovian Mariners. After the Sokovians surrendered, Arthur asked Zeke what they do now.

Arthur returned to Bratislava, and listened in as Zeke talked out his plan to attack Camp Zentralhafen. Arthur was placed within Phase 3, which was to attack by air.

In Camp Zentralhafen, Arthur rode in by Attack Chopper and began slaughtering Sokovian Soldiers. Upon landing, Arthur was greeted by Zeke. A moment later when Captain Benn arrived, Arthur informed her that she missed the entire attack. Hours later, Arthur was ordered to return to London with Zeke and Hilde.

In London, Arthur entered the Prime Minister's Office with Zeke and Hilde. *The Nature of War Part 3: The Zentralhafen Incursion*Days later, Arthur had rendezvoused with Zeke and Hilde and headed to Austria. He told Zeke that they were going to dive into Hell.

In Austria, he was greeted by General Shelby. Moments later, he was ordered by Zeke to mobilize and head to Novi Grad, Sokovia.

In the skies above Novi Grad, Arthur had engaged in a dogfight with the Angelski Teufel. He was chased by a Teufel and was saved by Hilde. He was then ordered to retreat back to Austria.

Back in Austria, Arthur went on a bombing run to rid the Vienna Air Base of EKO Skorpion. After he landed, he watched as General Shelby saved Zeke from being killed by Ruedi Zwerger. After concocting a new plan to travel to Castle Zemo, Arthur was ordered by Zeke to suit up.

Upon reentering Sokovian Airspace, Arthur launched from a Carrier Jet. Upon travelling through Sokovian skies, he reengaged in a dogfight against the Angelski Teufel, and managed to make one crash into another with Hilde. When Hilde attempted to save Zeke, Arthur mentioned that Zeke has it under control. He was then ordered by Zeke to make it to Castle Zemo.

Upon arrival to Castle Zemo, Arthur was arrested by Helmut and Heike Zemo. Arthur was spared execution by Heike, and was escorted to Baron Zemo. After Baron Zemo signed the Peace Treaty, Arthur was set free. He left Castle Zemo with Hilde and Zeke, and waited in front of a Churchyard for a transport pickup. He commented that he didn't like the way the Sokovians were staring at them.

A couple of days later in London, Arthur waited for the Ceremony to begin. As the Ceremony began, Arthur and his teammates approached The Queen and kneeled before her. He was Knighted for his actions in the Bloodshed War and was cheered on by the Crowds. *The Nature of War Part 4: Dogfight over Novi Grad*

### Post-Bloodshed War

After the event at Boxworth's Six Months after the War, Arthur informed Reginald Mortimer that Zeke was getting dressed. He then listened in as Reginald gave Zeke a new assignment. After Mortimer and Oxton left Boxworth's, he told his brother to start cleaning, as the spectators have trashed it again.

The Next Day on January 7th, Arthur was training a boxer before being given an offer by Zeke to join a Superhero team. Arthur was skeptical about the idea, and told Zeke that he would think about it. As Zeke left, Arthur began to make a phone call. When Zeke returned hours later, Arthur told him that he decided to join in his superhero team.

The Next Day, he spoke to Zeke more about joining, and mentioned that he has left ownership of Boxworth's to his younger brother, Trigger. After Zeke left, Arthur was told by Trigger that their father would be pissed for selling the gym. *Captain Legion*

Days later, Arthur arrived at the Oxton household exactly when Reginald Mortimer was leaving, and offered Zeke some help for South America. Arthur then spoke to his current Teammates about recruiting others, and Arthur elected to remain in London. After Zeke and Hilde left upstairs, Arthur told Liz to put on headphones. *Bullet Man*

A couple of days later, Arthur Smith arrived at 10 Downing Street and watched as Zeke and Georgio Oxton arrived to the meeting. *Italy's Most Wanted*He was then briefed on his mission to head to Afghanistan by Reginald Mortimer. Arthur was left curious as why they were going to Afghanistan, and was told why by Zeke and Liz. Arthur than joined his teammates into heading to a facility in Northern London and was introduced to Iron Man. He was curious as to what Iron Man could give the team for the mission, and was shown a Quinjet. Arthur then suited up and boarded the Quinjet, right before he was given an upgraded Dieselkraftwerk by Cybernet. Upon the travel to Afghanistan, Arthur was briefed more on their mission by Zeke.

In Kabul, Afghanistan, he was ordered to conceal his weapons to avoide being detected by ISIS. He was then ordered by Captain Legion to find Aasif Ackbar, and took command as Captain Legion left for the Capitol Building, which led to an argument with Aerobolt. He then ordered everyone to find Aasif Ackbar. After heading towards the Northwest Quadrant of Kabul, he was reunited with Aerobolt, Cybernet, & Captain Legion. Arthur was then told to head to a back alley of a store, where he was met with Aasif Ackbar. He then headed to Aasif's base, where he received a nap.

The Next day on January 21, Arthur geared up and headed to the home where the most intelligent children of Afghanistan were being held, only to be discovered by ISIS. *The Union Fury Rises Part 1*He was then arrested and sentenced to be executed. He was saved by Rogue Agent, before attacking ISIS soldiers. Guardian was then ordered to make his way to the Quinjet. He was then taken back to the Quinjet with Zanshi by Bullet Man. Guardian than overheard the Horns sounding throughout Kabul, and was warned about being bombarded with ISIS soldiers. Guardian then began to defend the Quinjet, as ISIS began attacking. He then gave the Dieselkraftwerk to Rogue Agent, who left to go rescue Captain Legion & The Commando. He was then advised by Aasif to flee, and he told him that he would never abandon his leader. When Aasif began to make his last stand, Guardian warned him that it was a suicide mission. He then took off in the Quinjet and helped Felipe in pulling Zeke back onto the Quinjet. He then fled to London soon after.

Upon return to London, Arthur was congratulated by Mortimer, before being briefed on his next mission to Serbia. *The Union Fury Rises Part 2*

The next day on January 22, Arthur returned to London and struggled to bring the Fracture Bolt down from the Quinjet. He was then granted a rest for a couple of hours, before being ordered to head to Iceland.

In Reykjavik, Iceland, Guardian joined his teammates in fighting a squid monster, before returning to London.

On January 25, Guardian joined his teammates on a mission to Copenhagen, Denmark. He was told by Zeke that once Aerobolt assassinates the Cobra agent Chamo, that they would flee immediately. And he did just that after Aerobolt shot Chamo. *On the Verge of War*

On January 31, Guardian joined his team on a mission to Oulo, Finland. He infiltrated a building as Cybernet froze outside. After the Team succeeded in their mission, Guardian fled with his team. *On the Verge of War* *In Search of Elizabeth*

A day later on February 1, Guardian joined his team on a mission to the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. He began to attack Central Command with his team, and was accidentally hit with a dart from Cybernet's suit. He was eventually carried back to the Quinjet by The Commando, and was told to lay off some weight. *In Search of Elizabeth* *The Pentagon Heist*

On February 4, he joined some of his teammates on a mission to New Zealand.

Upon returning to London on February 6, he was given a break. *In Search of Elizabeth* Guardian joined his fellow Union Fury allies in assaulting the London Drug Circle's Hideout in King's Cross. *Drugs of Play*

On February 27, he joined his team on a mission to Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. He fled from Gara Dun Terrorists, and managed to board the Quinjet. He then picked up Captain Legion and Killpower, before heading back to London.

In London, he was ordered by Zeke to head to 10 Downing Street. In 10 Downing Street, he arrived too early and waited with his team. When Zeke and Hilde arrived, he decided to play a game of "Hookers" with his team, which left him excited. He explained to Dick the origin of Hookers, before beginning to play. When Mortimer arrived, he was briefed on the teams' next mission: To Raid the United States Pentagon. When Saturnyne arrived and was decommissioned by Mortimer, Arthur tried to go after her, even scolding Zeke to not standing up for her.

Afterwards, he returned to the Union Fury Base and was briefed by Zeke on the Schematics of their plans. He was then ordered to head to Baltimore, and was joined by his teammate Killpower. In Baltimore, he was told by Zeke that he was meeting Saturnyne in Death Valley, California. He wished Zeke luck, who left to California. *On the Verge of War*

The next day on March 1, Arthur jogged through the streets of Baltimore with Fan. When Zeke returned from Death Valley, Arthur was ordered to rest for the mission.

He was left annoyed when Zeke awoke him at 1 AM the next morning to do their mission. Upon the travel, he yawned before lifting the spirits for the team. Upon arrival to the Pentagon, he infiltrated the building with majority of his team and was ordered to stand their ground. He began killing CIA agents, before informing his team that they moved some equipment into the Pentagon from Area 51, before leaving to find some of the tech. He eventually found a mech in the Pentagon's Garage and began to fight off CIA, FBI, and Special Forces Agents. At some point, he placed the mech on Autopilot and began to make his way to find Zeke and Hilde. When he was ordered to return to the Quinjet, Guardian suggested waiting for them to return to the Quinjet. He was reunited with Hilde and Zeke, and was ordered to return to the Quinjet with Hilde. Upon return to the Quinjet, Arthur was shot and injured by a rogue Aerobolt. After Zeke defeated Aerobolt, Arthur was taken back to London. *The Pentagon Heist*

Upon return to London, Arthur woke up just in time for The Avengers to attack. He was knocked out again by Black Widow moments later. *Calling All Avengers*

The next day on March 2, Arthur was summoned to the Oxton Household alongside Shrink and was briefed on Operation: No Agent Left Behind. He then returned to Base and suited up to head to Castle Zemo.

At Castle Zemo, he was approached by Helmut Zemo, and infiltrated the Castle as Shrink knocked out Helmut. He managed to enter Zola's lab and pushed both the Red Skull and Arnim Zola out of the lab, before locking himself and Zeke in the lab with Hilde and Baron Zemo. After Zeke freed Hilde and trapped Zemo, he warned him that they were trapped and Shrink was alone with the HYDRA agents. When HYDRA agents broke in, Arthru killed some with the Adhesive X Cannon, before fleeing the lab. Upon searching for a way out, he was separated by Zeke and was ordered by Shrink to find him. Arthur and Hilde encountered Eisenkreuz and Screaming Mimi, and told Mimi that HYDRA should've died with the Nazis. He was then sent flying by Mimi, and was reunited with Zeke and Shrink. He was surrounded by the Masters of Evil, and watched as Zeke injured all of them. He then found a way out of Castle Zemo, and was ordered to retreat back to London by Zeke. After Zeke was defeated by the Winter Soldier, Arthur ordered Eric to take Hilde back to London. Arthur apprehended the Winter Soldier, only to lose his left arm and was defeated. His body was then taken to Arnim Zola's Lab. *Hail, HYDRA!*

The next day on March 3, Arthur had a metal arm attached to him, before being brainwashed. He was then ordered to be trained by Vasily Karpov by Baron Zemo. Arthur watched as Zeke sparred with Bucky. When it came his turn, he continuously failed. When Zeke was tasked with being attacked by Bucky, Arthur intervened, which completed his training. He then had a device implanted in his head to make himself believe that Zeke will always be endangered. He was then ordered by Zemo to execute 3 members of the Masters of Evil. Arthur, or "Ghost Soldier", went second, and had chosen to execute Eisenkreuz. He was then instructed by Baron Zemo to take out Jasper Sitwell, in Rijeka, Croatia.

In Rijeka, Arthur begins to see a simulation of Zeke, who debriefs him on Sitwell's rendezvous with Nick Fury on the outskirts of the City. Arthur then watched as Zeke entered the facility Sitwell is in, only to watch as he was captured by Croatian Soldiers. He attempted to contact Castle Zemo to inform them of Zeke's capture, but failed. Arthur was then left angered as Sitwell began to seemingly torture Zeke. Arthur then watched as Jasper began to leave the Facility in a convoy, and began to tail them. Upon the drive to the outskirts of town, Arthur intercepts a message between Sitwell and Fury, and grabbed out a silencer gun. He killed a couple of Soldiers on Motorbikes, and approached the car. He was then jettisoned from his Motorcycle, before hijacking one from a soldier. He began to chase after the convoy, and was nearly ran off the road by a military truck. He manage to climb under the truck, before hijacking it and continued chasing after Sitwell. He activated the trucks' fork and used it to flip Sitwell's vehicle. He then approaches the vehicle and begins slaughtering several Croatian soldiers. He then began to slaughter more using a grenade launcher. He is eventually injured, and managed to use a small nearby drone to distract the soldiers, allowing him to kill them. After all soldiers were killed, Arthur approached Sitwell and beat him to death. He informed Arnim Zola, before being ordered to return to Castle Zemo.

Back in Castle Zemo, he is inducted into HYDRA, before being given his final mission: Eliminate the Union Fury! *The Winter Soldier Program*Ghost Soldier was reminded of his mission, before heading off to London with Blondie.

In London on March 4, Ghost Soldier asked Blondie how they were going to accomplish their mission, only to be told by Blondie to follow his lead. In 10 Downing Street, Ghost Soldier injured Evelyn Necker and pinned Mortimer to the ground. He shot a few British Soldiers, before telling Blondie that he was going to wreak havoc. He stepped outside and began shooting some citizens. He was then approached by The Commando and told to stand down. He attempted to shoot her, only to be sent flying by Bullet Man. He was approached by Aerobolt and tackled him, only to be knocked out by Zanshi.

Arthur was taken back to Base. He was examined by Eric O'Grady, before waking up and killing Zanshi. He then chased after Shrink in the Base's Maze-like corridors. He was eventually lost when Shrink shrunk himself. He eventually found Zeke while looking for Hilde. He spoke to Zeke about hunting her down, before overhearing her in the ventilation shafts. He followed her to the Training Room, only to be knocked out when Hilde flipped down. He woke up just in time to escape the training room when Hilde destroyed it with a grenade. He managed to find Hilde in the Brain Machine Chamber Room and attacked her, only to be knocked out again. He was then placed in the other Brainwashing Pod and frozen in place, having the HYDRA Programming erased form his mind. He eventually woke up after Zeke and was informed by him of Mortimer's plan to bring a new age of Nazism in the United Kingdom. *Fall of Heroes*After Zeke broke Hilde's heart, Arthur was asked to look after her. He then listened in as Zeke told him his plan to "End" Mortimer's terror.

The Next Day on March 5, Arthur visited Hilde at her home, and comforted Hilde as they watched Mortimer's Announcement on live television. After Mortimer was assassinated by Zeke live, Arthur informed her that Zeke lied about what he said to her, before being watching as Zeke was arrested by The Avengers. Arthur was then asked to accompany Hilde to free Zeke from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.

He then accompanied Hilde to the Airport and boarded a plane to Paris, France. Upon the flight, he expressed how nervous he was to break into a prison without the team.

The Next Day on March 6, Guardian had joined The Commando into breaking into The Bastille and began killing S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. He then made it to an elevator and loaded a secondary assault rifle. When Hilde managed to free Zeke, Arthur offered to give them cover and was momentarily arrested. *The Final Task*He was taken down by Black Panther. *Fugitive Part 2* He was sentenced to carry out Zeke's Sentence as Hilde and Zeke managed to escape. *The Final Task*

The Next Day on March 7, he woke up and spoke with Felicity about their new prison lives, only to make her cry, accidentally reminding her of a traumatic moment. He was then approached and insulted by Nick Fury as Felicity was taken back to a new cell. Arthur was then approached by Hilde, who infiltrated The Bastille once more. He warned Hilde about Felicity's new cell, while being monitored by Fury and Crimson Widow. After Hilde left, he asked the guards for something to read. *Fugitive Part 2*

A Couple of Years Later on February 13, 2025, Arthur Smith was being taken to Ravencroft, Oxford, England from The Bastille in Paris. Arthur was near Dunkirk when the S.H.I.E.L.D. convoy was stopped. He was then freed by Hilde and the time travelling Tracer. He then agreed to help them defend London from an impending attack.

He traveled back to London, where he helped Hilde convince Dr. Zachary Oxton to help defend London. He then traveled to Lambeth to help Hilde convince Natalia to help, only to fail. After Talon began attacking London, Arthur was tasked to lead the new Union Fury. He had Zachary lead majority of the flyers to attack Talon's Aerial Combat Drones, as he led the defense on the ground. He then began attacking Talon commandos with Tracer, before being attacked by the Wrecking Crew. After Kelsey Kirkland sacrificed herself to save two members of The Avengers, and demanded for someone to get a medic. He was joined by The Avengers, before being attacked by Thunderball. He was saved by The Commando, before concocting ideas to destroy Talon's airship. Moments later, he watched as Zeke returned to London afetr saving Tracer from Plasmak. *A Hero's Redemption Part 1*As he continued to fight Talon, Arthur welcomed Zeke back to London. He was then surrounded by Talon commandos and ordered by their leader, Adam Crow, to surrender. Arthur refused, and continued to fight Talon. Arthur continued fighting Talon as Zeke traveled to the Siegeshammer to confront Adam. After The Siegeshammer crashed in The Thames, Arthur watched as Zeke was arrested by MI5 and taken into custody. *A Hero's Redemption Part 2*
