Backstory:

• Angel, A.K.A. "Boss," was born in Barstow, California and raised by a single father, Greg, who won a custody battle after a nasty divorce, and was alienated from his mother
• His father, a U.S. Army veteran, was deployed in Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War and incredibly proud of his time served in the military
• Corporal punishment and strict parenting methods were enforced throughout Angel's childhood with very little affection, praise being very rare
• During 9/11, Greg's militant enthusiasm and prejudice towards Arabs was blatant and impressed upon Angel, so much so that he permitted his son to drop out of high school to get his GED once he turned 17, then signed off on his enlistment in the Army
• Initially, Angel was enthusiastic about serving in the Army and being deployed in Iraq during the GWOT to "deliver payback," but when he witnessed the horrors of war and how it affected the innocent people who were caught in the crossfires, his opinion quickly changed
• When traveling in a convoy through an agricultural town in western Iraq with a squad led by his sergeant, an IED detonated nearby, destroying their Humvee, killing one soldier, and injuring two more
• In an act of retaliation, Angel's sergeant led the rest of the squad through the occupied town and went house to house, shooting unarmed civilians at close range
• Most of the civilians killed were women, elderly people, and children
• Angel refused to follow his sergeant's orders and was reprimanded; though, when some survivors reports conflicted with his sergeant's, he and the squad were court martialed
• Angel's sergeant and fellow squad members were found guilty, and although Angel was cleared of committing war crimes while on active duty via witness statements, he was relieved of duty with BCD and incredibly traumatized from witnessing the massacre
• Without any benefits to fall back on when he returned home, he had no choice but to seek Greg's help, who was very disappointed in him for not following orders based on indiscriminate violence and for suffering from PTSD and tremors, and thought Angel was weak, refusing to offer assistance of any kind and disowning him
• The trauma and stress he was subjected to caused him to gray prematurely in his 20s
• Since then, he's been homeless and train hopping under the alias "Boss," settling in Slab City between his travels, acting as a protector of the community
