John Price

With his service in the 22nd S.A.S. Regiment, John Price has spent most of his career fighting in the shadows. He's been shot, captured, abandoned, blown up, locked up, tortured, and left for dead. Price is a veteran of military operations in nearly every conflict-prone corner of the world, distinguishing himself with acts of gallantry and intrepidity. His achievements have risen to the stuff of regimental history.Price joined the infantry at the age of 16 and has served in the British Army for 18 years. One of the youngest cadets to ever graduate the Royal Military Academy as a commissioned officer, he completed Special Service Commando selection and was 'badged' a member of the SAS, proving his worth on countless covert operations over multiple deployments in the Middle East. Promoted to Captain in 2011, callsign 'Bravo Six', Price is the officer in charge of a highly effective unit, tasked with anti–hijacking counter–terrorism, specializing in close quarter combat, sniper techniques and hostage rescue. He is unofficially missioned to capture or kill high-value targets.Blessed with uncanny instincts and an unchecked determination, Captain Price is a peerless combat-tracker, known for excelling in a fluid and volatile environment. An elite seek-and-strike expert, Price is versed in a wide range of fieldcraft and tactical capability. From airborne shock-trooper to long-range reconnaissance operator, Captain Price is a covert, jungle, desert and urban operator, sniper and saboteur. With a knack for developing and maintaining links to foreign fighters across the globe by earning goodwill through trust, Captain Price works closely with Western Intelligence agencies assigned to aggressively pursue HVTs. His counter-terrorism squadron is on call to mobilize anywhere in Europe with immediate readiness.[3]Price believes that the duty of every soldier is to fight for the greater good— "The rules of engagement don't change, but their justification does." Price always fights for what's right but he knows what's right isn't always what you're fighting for. He's often said, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Sometimes unpredictable and unrestrained, John Price has a golden rule all his own: "We get dirty, and the world stays clean."Although an officer, Captain Price has always preferred to keep the company of an enlisted warfighter. John often tells new recruits: "All it takes to change the course of history... is the will of a single man or woman." Not above a rogue move or an unholy alliance in the name of getting the job done, John has a deep but often strained relationship with the system.Much like Sergeant Garrick, Price seems to hate being tied down by rules or procedures, and sometimes takes drastic actions on his own, often against orders.Early CareerWhilst he was still a Lieutenant, Price was involved in an assassination attempt on Ultranationalist politician Imran Zakhaev under the command of then Captain MacMillan in Pripyat, Ukraine. The attempt was unsuccessful. In 2009, now in command of Unit Bravo, Lieutenant Price was informed of a Russian chemical lab in Urzikstan by a Commander "Karim" of the Urzikstan Liberation Force; acting on this, the SAS launched a raid on the facility, and Price helped assist Commander Farah Karim. Helping her up, the group saved a group of prisoners in the lab, including Karim's brother, Hadir. He then instructed both Farah and Hadir to set up camp in the mountains, away from the Russians and their commanding officer, General Roman Barkov.London.On October 24th 2019, during an assignment, Captain Price was contacted by CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell about a failed CIA mission to secure Russian chemical gas in Verdansk, which left multiple Marines killed. Given the risk that the gas could be deployed anywhere in the West, Price agreed to help as he finishes his current assignment.The next day on October 25th, multiple terrorists affiliated with Al-Qatala launched a terror attack in Piccadilly Circus in Central London, with the Metropolitan Police Service and CTSFO units struggling to contain the attacks. Bravo Team was called in to help secure the area. Captain Price's unit helped contain the attacks and saved Sergeant Kyle Garrick from an Al-Qatala fighter inside an electronics store. Together with Garrick, Price cleared the building, although they could not save a hostage that was forced to wear an explosive vest. Price pushed the hostage with the vest from the second floor to save the others from its inevitable detonation. After securing Piccadilly Circus, Price was informed by Garrick that the MPS had actionable intelligence of the terror cell but could not take any of these actions in order to keep the public calm; with the intel, Price took Garrick under his command.Two days after the Piccadilly attacks, S.A.S. units under Price's leadership cleared a terror cell in a townhouse in Camden Town, North London. There, the SAS found a "gold mine" of Al-Qatala intelligence and the current location of Al-Qatala leader, Omar "The Wolf" Sulaman.UrzikstanThanks to the intelligence from the London townhouse raid, US Marines and CIA officer "Alex" captured Omar Sulaman in Rammaza Hospital in Urzikstan the next day, and brought him to the Urzikstan U.S. Embassy for interrogation and SAS extraction. However, Al-Qatala's second in command, The Butcher, rallied Al-Qatala forces in front of the Embassy, outnumbering the Marines. Price and Garrick were inbound in a Black Hawk to extract Sulaman, but were shot down by an RPG as Al-Qatala breached the Embassy and started killing indiscriminately. Price survived the crash, and continued with Garrick to meet up with the Marines. Price held Garrick back during The Butcher's intimidation attempts, which included the murder of a father and young son. Price assured Garrick that they will eventually capture the Butcher.
