Troy McBride was selected to lead the Blue Team as Colonel, though decommissioned from CONTRA before the strike force became active. A renowned Special Operations operative of the CIA’s Special Activities Division, Troy is a silent weapons expert, martial artist, and highly trained in covert reconnaissance, intelligence, and all weather/terrain combat.
Background
Troy’s father, Joseph McBride, is a career government servant and the civilian director of CONTRA who raised him alone. Unknown to Troy is his father’s role as a Nerrial Emissary or the existence of his younger brother Lonthran who his mother Elizabeth took back to Adena on the final Starseeker bound from Earth. The ancestry of his mother’s bloodlines trace back centuries directly to Exa the Great.
Troy grew up learning martial arts, studying history, and playing sports. His extraordinary physical abilities were uncommon. He became a black belt in both karate and Ninjitsu by the age of 15. He was a four-year letterman in three sports: football, basketball, and soccer. Troy’s superior physical abilities were matched by his sharp intellect. He double majored in physics and engineering at Maryland University. After entering a specialized CIA military training program, Troy also earned a Masters of Arts in National Security Studies from Georgetown University.
Troy gained expertise in silent weapons and covert operations within CIA. Quickly rising in the ranks of the Special Ops community, he became a team leader of the CIA’s Special Activities Division and traveled the world on over a dozen secret operations. Following The Revolution Declaration and discovery of the Demon Lab in Colombia by U.S. Marines in 2033, the CIA assigned Troy to a top secret Black Operations/Special Forces unit codenamed Nightwatch.
Pentagon officials and Emissaries alike had extreme concerns over the Demon Lab and the origins of its advanced technology. The Nightwatch mission was to track and capture ringleaders of The Revolution who were behind its construction. Nightwatch was America’s predecessor to CONTRA. After NATO approved the counterrevolutionary strike force, the former was dissolved with Troy transferring over to the new allied battalion. An off hours altercation brought Troy to the low-point of his life. His punishment was release from duty and a de-commission from military service.
