**Michael Connors** (known as **M.C.**) is a main character and a major antagonist in the "Raider: Last Blood" series.

Serving as the secondary (now formerly) antagonist of the 4th chapter, Connors is the leader of the Ghosts and was hired by various groups as a mercenary to earn income.

## Background

Born on April 9, 1984, at Houston, Texas, Michael grew up in a real estate family.

At the age of 18, he joined the United States Army against his family's wishes and when the War on Terror began, Michael rose through the ranks and became a Green Beret, having fought in various battles. Thanks to his commanding officer, he joined Delta Force and there, he led an unit that would eventually become the Ghosts.

Upon returning from war, he struggled to find jobs or deal with trauma, but the relationship between him and his comrades remained strong. He then decided to become a mercenary and formed his PMC, making Dixon his second-in-command.

## Personality

Connors is a merciless, unpredictable, hardened, bloodthirsty, sadistic, and sociopathic man. Due to the trauma, he endured a lot of physical and emotional pain during his time in the military and he only ever had his comrades and God to turn to. When they became mercenaries, he and his group became ruthless in their methods, attacking other groups without provocation and for their interest.

During WW3, Connors is shown to be particularly brutal and murderous, gleefully taking delight in killing a tortured US soldier in the past and getting noticeably more excited as the battle with Jay and the RSC operatives led by Sharpe heats up.

Despite having little remorse for killing and torturing innocent people and soldiers and a sadistic disregard for murder, Connors is shown to be genuinely concerned for his group and became increasingly desperate to do whatever it takes to protect them, showing that he and his group are attached like a family. However, Connors is willing to let some of his Ghosts die in order to find out what the RSC mercenaries are doing, which earned him massive distrust from Dixon and a few Ghosts.

Surprisingly, Connors isn't as bad as an actual mercenary, having done everything for the money and even having second thoughts about his job while subtly telling his group to give up their lives to protect them and knowing that he was trading dangerous WMDs. As Harrison betrays the Ghosts and was willing to deceive them by pinning the blame on them with the bombs, Connors is shown to be willing to side with Jay and fights against Harrison's men to survive and rather than killing or betraying Jay, he chose to let Jay go and thanks him for saving him even after trying to kill him, showing that Connors was honorable and respectable and lost his hardened nature to Jay.

In short, Connors is an honorable man with a ruthless facade that was willing to do whatever it takes to earn his income and protect his group.

## Appearance

Connors is an American man, standing at 6'0. He has tanned skin, graying brown hair, blue eyes, and a full beard.

He wore a black t-shirt, olive tactical gear, and olive cargo pants. Unlike his team, he wore a beanie and tinted aviators.
