Background[]

Andrew "Highlander" O'Donnell once served in the British Army, in a Scottish unit, no less. To think this man once had a family who he needed to support and care for is absurd to anyone who knows him now, but to those who knew him before 2017, they know him as a jovial, almost carefree man. His unit served during the Communist-LDN war, in Saudi Arabia. Not wanting his last moments with his family to be one of him leaving on a boat, he requested that his family live with him on the barracks in Israel. Unfortunately, this had unforeseen consequences. During the Saudi Arabian attack on Israel, the barracks was completely annihilated by missile fire, killing his wife and seventeen year-old son. To this day, he blames himself for their deaths and uses alcohol to ease the pain.


Personality[]

Highlander is nearly always drunk, spouting complete nonsense. When not drunk (a rare occasion) Highlander spouts complete nonsense in his thick Scottish accent and enjoys deconstruction, usually if it's his doing. He makes no mention of his previous life, to Scout or anyone.
