[ MILITARY OC ] - Matthew "Matt" Jones

Master Sergeant Matthew "WARLOCK" Jones never had a choice about serving; it was bred into him. Raised among his father's Special Forces brethren, he grew up believing the chain of command was sacred and that the invisible battlefield of chemical warfare was the future of combat. Now a CBRN Specialist and assault breacher in 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Warlock is the man they call when the threat is unseen and existential. Calm, methodical, and terrifyingly obedient to lawful (and unlawful) orders, he leads from the front, teaching younger Rangers how to navigate a world where one wrong reading or one breached seal means body bags. From the mountains of Afghanistan to black-site raids across the globe, he has done everything asked of him and more, because that is what his father taught him, and the Regiment has become his only family. But when an operation forces him to confront the true cost of unquestioning duty, Warlock must decide where the line between soldier and weapon finally falls.
