Prophet

Jeremy "" Bentham is a character seen in the 589 series. He is a sniper hailing from Australia.

Background
Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Jeremy at a young age was fascinated with sniping. He learned from his parents that his great-grandfather served as a sniper during WW2, in addition to being a pilot. Although rather intelligent, Jeremy failed most of his schoolwork, electing to go to the Outback and see how long he could survive with nothing but a rifle and his wits. Disillusioned with Australia to an extent, he immigrated to England and joined the Royal Navy, serving for only a year before leaving and returning to serve in the Australian Army, again for only a year before leaving and beginning his "private" work. When his parents learned of this, his father disowned him. Prophet seems unaffected by this.

Pharaoh apparently has intelligence about Prophet that could put his service in the 589 in jeopardy, but has not chosen to disclose it. What this intel is is known only to Prophet and Pharaoh.

Personality
Prophet is cold, unforgiving and an expert shot. He rarely makes jokes and much of his "humor" comes from the death of those he has sniped. Despite this, he gets along with Ghost, Ace, and Scout quite well. He got off to a very bad start with Boss, which has created a gap between the two of them.
