Benny Samsella - Mafia soldier - Level 2

Donny Astricky - Ucas Army Rigger - level 2

William quickly jumped a bus to Seattle where he stole a few cars, and bought himself a UCAS identity. he joined the Army and proved to be quite suitable for a possible job as a LAV rigger, a long term dream of his. His dream however was destroyed by a faulty grenade timer in basic training, the concussion grenades 5 second fuse was in reality a 1 second fuse, a concussion grenade is usualy quite harmless, unless your holding it when it goes off, the explosion destroyed Williams arm and his eyesight, his flack jacket and helmet protecting him from the greater part of the blast. To avoid a Public Relations nightmare, the army paid for cyber-replacement of his arm and eyes plus some modifications which would improve his skills if he made it as a soldier - he finished his basic training and tested well for the rigger corps, but when it came time to have his Vehicle Control Rig installed it was discovered he was incredibly sensitive to cyberware and a VCR would most likely kill him, something which the surgeons didn't notice when patching him up originally due to the emergency nature of the surgery.

so he was trained as a "vehicle obtaining expert" the army trained him how to steal all manner of military vehicles and also how to pilot helicopters, he was also instructed on how best his arm could be used to assist his skills, such as literally bypassing the lock by tearing a door off its hinges, or punching through armored glass. ... he has been reported to have punched through inch thick armored glass to steal a heavy troop transport. he served a 3 year tour running black opps against Aztlan stealing and destroying their armored vehicles. His army tenure came to an end one evening when a drunk picked a fight with "captain chrome" while he was out clubbing with friends, William had drunk a few and so didn't realize his strength when he fought back, putting the unfortunately well connected Drunk in intensive care. Again to avoid a PR nightmare, the Army asked him to resign which he did with only minor regrets.


he filtered through various jobs and eventually ended up as a security guard at a upscale nightclub, it was a good job, his cyberarm discouraging much trouble, and his shotgun, none too well concealed behind the security desk did the rest. One evening the club was the scene of a throwdown between a group of young up and coming mafia boys and some veteran yakuza broke out, one of the mafia brats ran to him trust 5000 nuYen into his hands and screamed "for each one of us you get out of this club alive ill pay you 5000 more" William did the math, there was 10 mafia boys in there, and only 5 yaks. he wouldn't take the blame because who would contradict him, the mafia boys would say it was them for rep. and he barely got paid $30,000 a year, even if he only got 6 out, that's a years pay. 5 dead yakuza later, and $50,000 richer "strongarm" became a shadowrunner.
