The leader of the Black Tusk Specialist Unit (BTSU), **Bardon Schaeffer** has been one of The Division's most wanted for several months. Schaeffer comes from a military family with a long and proud tradition of municipal and federal service. At age 19, he dropped out of college and enlisted in the United States Army, where he quickly showed proficiency and rose to the top of his platoon. He was assigned to a special forces unit where he was active in several "dark ops" for Ghost Recon before being recruited by Black Tusk. Black Tusk have obtained the sitting President of the United States and have been working to destabilize The Division's efforts. Schaeffer believes he is a true patriot and is doing the right thing for the country.

He served multiple tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. Highly tactical with a proven ability to eliminate targets with extreme efficiency. Respected among his comrades and a natural choice for the role of Specialist Unit Leader.

## Post-Dollar Flu

Shortly after Dollar Flu hit Washington D.C. Bardon Schaeffer and the BTSU began monitoring the status of Washington, D.C. ,preparing for the right time to strike the city.

He managed to get two American Secret Service agents to assassinate President Thomas Mendez and guise the murder as a suicide, promising them safe passage out of the city. However, with the help of fellow BTSU member, Petrus Brenner, Schaeffer had the Secret Service agents killed.

With members from his BTSU, they also discussed the various factions in D.C. to BTSU member Elijah Sumner, the Hyenas seemed to be the best option to give the most trouble to both The Division and the other factions in D.C. Schaeffer liked Sumner's recommendation and passed it onto to his supervisor. He also attempted to hire Odessa Sawyer into the BTSU, but she turned down the offer.

Before The Division could make their assault on the Capitol Building, he made contact with President Andrew Ellis regarding the antivirals as the facility holding them can't be accessed without the briefcase held at the True Sons stronghold. Shortly after The Division secured the Capitol Building, he met with Ellis along with the briefcase in tow. Ellis passed Schaeffer the antivirals, in which he ordered Milla "Wyvern" Radek to store the Broad-Spectrum Anti-Virals at Tidal Basin, the Black Tusk's main base in D.C.

As The Division moved through the stronghold, Schaeffer attempted to get Wyvern to make a foot extraction with the antivirals, since a Division helicopter destroyed a turbine, leaving Black Tusk with little to no options. Wyvern ignored Black Tusk's tactical disadvantage by commencing a missile attack against The White House, in which Schaeffer was extremely against.

The Division gunned down Wyvern, stopped the missile launch and secured the antivirals shortly after. During Black Tusk's occupation of The Pentagon, he emphasized to Brenner about the importance of keeping the place in check and keep The Division from taking the Perfusion Bioreactor.

In spite of Brenner's attempts to stop The Division, they still managed to get the reactor. Additionally, his attempt to rebuild his Specialist Unit came to a grinding halt when Division agents stormed Camp White Oak and stopped Black Tusk from extracting any data and information from there. Out of frustration due to the insubordinate actions of two of his operatives, the lead BTSU operatives tasked to lead the mission, he called his employer, telling him to stop sending clowns.

Sometime before the events of the Aaron Keener manhunt, Schaeffer made contact with Faye Lau regarding the exchange of a rogue agent, Alicia Coswald, who aligned herself with Black Tusk. He later led the assault on Liberty Island in hopes to eliminate Aaron Keener. However, due to intervention from Division agents causing the DDP-52 Razorback to be disabled and a XB-31 "Marauder" Quadcopter and a number of Warhounds hacked by Keener, Schaeffer ordered the retreat.

After Keener's death, his conversation with Lau was intercepted by Division agents regarding the activation of the Rogue Agent Network. While he wasn't keen on having to deal with more rogue agents, Lau reassured him that it will bring The Division to its knees, and they will be able to end them once and for all.
