## History

### Early Life

Melvin Trudeau is a mercenary full of mystery, nothing was really known about the man called Median. Once, he was captured and interrogated in a highly secure U.S. prison, and he related many details about his early life, such as the time he set fire to their home in an attempt to murder his father; however, much to this information is suspect, as Median then escaped, taunting his interrogators that much of what he said was false – especially the fact he actually murdered his father prior to setting his house ablaze. In a previous account of his childhood, he painted a bullseye on his passed out drunk father’s forehead and shot him.

### Archery Career

Before his mercenary career, it has been suggested that Median tried his formidable accuracy skills to become an accomplished archer in the Olympics, but he was too selfish and sadistic. After winning three games, according Median himself, he grew bored and annoyed whilst shooting six arrows in less than four minutes as he shot an arrow at one of the annoying judges, killing him instantly.

Instead, Melvin Trudeau found his true calling as a special operative of the United States National Security Agency.
