Zero

Overview
A mysterious young man with an inherit skill for tactics and politics. His true loyalties remain a mystery, although he has stated that he knows "Sloan" and CTN-117.

Backstory
Zero arrived shortly in Takistan at an unknown time, but he first met Devon immediately after the Turkish Army betrayed the NATO garrison on August 25th, 2036. He struck a deal with Devon, the deal being that Zero would control the invasion of Takistan from behind the scenes and he'd give orders to Devon, who would instead act as a figurehead for the 8th Battalion since Zero did not want to reveal himself. After giving an inspirational speech to the men and women of the 8th, Devon took him to his personal compound and gave him and abandoned barrack as his workplace. He then said he would answer any of Devon's questions; which, to his chagrin, was a question about himself and his identity. He refused to take his mask off, but he instead offered a vague description of his personality; Smart, genius with tactics and politics, and hinted that he was either in his late-teens or young adulthood.

Personality
Zero is a mysterious character who holds all of his cards close to his chest and he always has a backup plan or an 'ace up his sleeve', which more often then not is either Devon or causing an event that his foes would not anticipate. The young man is very political savvy and serves as Devon's main political analyst and strategist, in both politics and warfare. Zero could be seen as a complete opposite of Devon. Zero is tactical, daring, brilliant, and underneath his charismatic mask, a brutal person who will cross any line in order to win. While Devon is by no means unintelligent, he is not as well versed with politics and large-scale warfare as Zero is. Devon is not as charismatic as Zero, but he is more genuine and honest, while Zero lies when he finds it necessary. Zero also does care about those under his command, but he clearly shows favoritism and is willing to sacrifice anything as long as he reaches his goal. Most of his allies do not trust him, unlike Devon who is a down-to-earth man who acts very informal with his men and quickly earns respect from them. In his twisted, but brilliant mind; he views the battlefield as a chessboard and tends to reference chest quite often and even assigns code names to his subordinates with chess pieces (i.e. Devon is a Knight, a standard NATO soldier is a Pawn).
