Liu Tze Long was born in Junk Bay (Tseung Kwan O). He was raised by his father, who worked for a ship breaking company and often pulled double shifts. Liu's early years were spent working alongside his father in the stripping obsolete tankers for raw materials and parts. Growing up surrounded by hazardous materials and seeing their long-term effects on his fellow workers left Liu with an abiding respect for toxins and their effect on the human body. At 10 years old, he fell in an oil tank while scavenging an old ship and ingested a large amount of toxins while trying to break free. As the ship breaking business began to dwindle out, Liu and his father took some demolition jobs under the table. It all came to a stop when Liu's father injured his back. Liu was 19 and could not support them both with his own income. Quickly crumbling under debts, he seeked additional income by volunteering for mine clearing duties in the provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi.

After two years of defusing hazardous ammunitions, Liu's abilities and bravery caught the attention of key personnel within the Hong Kong Police Force. He then returned to Hong Kong and joined the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau. This gave Liu the opportunity to continue his chemistry and forensics-based education along with intensive on-site training. His expertise later enabled him to join the Special Duties Unit (SDU) to deal with Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear terrorist threats. Lesion's first operation was Operation Green Viper in Indonesia and Macau. He teamed up and joined forces with SAS Operators Mike "Thatcher" Baker and James "Smoke" Porter. Upon completion of the mission, the two helped celebrate Lesion's first successful mission with an extra day in Macau, filing the event as an off-duty bonus.

In 2017, Liu was formally recruited into Rainbow. His past expertise in CBRN threats made him a clear first pick during the formation of Rainbow's CBRN Threat Unit in early 2018. Liu regularly consults with Rainbow's tech experts to help Olivier "Lion" Flament and Lera "Finka" Melnikova implement better response solutions for the CBRN Threat Unit.

Psychological Report: Fell in an oil tank while scavenging an old ship when he was 10 years old. Trying to break free, he ingested a significant amount of water seethed with toxins. Since the tank walls were ripped he managed to break free, but not unscarred. Liu is highly resilient to physical hardships. His mental strength is what set him apart from younger candidates. He was one of the 3 other recruits who were able to withstand the extended version of SAS Resistance to Interrogation Program.

"Specialist Liu "Lesion" Tze Long's teammates have a great deal of respect for him, despite the fact that he can often drop off the radar due to his low-key style. Liu doesn't mind that he's overlooked; in fact, when I suggested this to him it prompted a smile. While on an operation, Liu is intense and focused, and thinks quickly on his feet. In his downtime he is soft-spoken with a wonderful dry wit.

His family's poverty encouraged him to be philosophical about his childhood. Even now he prefers to keep life simple by spending his money and time on things that have purpose. Liu told me he isn't a person who rails against things beyond his control, and I know from observation that he isn't someone who counts his scars.

His childhood, frankly, sounds horrific. His health was at risk from toxic materials, not to mention the physical danger of ripping apart tonnes of steel. And yet Liu remembers his past fondly, regarding the bad moments as something he was lucky enough to survive. I wondered if his optimism was a survival mechanism to weather horrifying circumstances, but Liu was eager to put me at ease. It wasn't all bad, he said. He described how he and his father would admire the sunrise dancing across the water and take long lunch breaks to go fishing.

Liu continues to live close to where he grew up. His connection to the location is more than nostalgia. There's a sense of satisfaction in knowing what it used to be and how time has affected it. Liu says both he and Junk Bay have changed for the better, and that the future can always be shaped into something good.

As he did at the start of his career, Liu still volunteers in underprivileged areas. His expertise has contributed to the clearing of tens of thousands of mines and unexploded ordnance. In particular, he's been consulting the tech experts within Rainbow as he and operators Olivier "Lion" Flament and Lera "Finka" Melnikova look to incorporate state-of-the-art solutions into their CBRN threat unit."

-- Dr. Harishva “Harry” Pandey, Director of Rainbow

Unique Ability: Gu Mine Gu Mines were inspired by the sharp punji sticks used during the Vietnam War. Rubbed with toxic plants or feces, the stakes served to slow down enemy troops by causing severe infections in their camp. Similarly, Gu Mines inject a toxin that injures your opponent and limits their speed. With its cloaking ability, your enemy will be forced to make quick decisions. Starting with one Gu Mine, your inventory will increase until it reaches a maximum of nine mines. Since time is on Lesion’s side, you will be able to lure your mark into desperate rushes.

The Special Duties Unit is Hong Kong's main elite paramilitary special operations unit. The SDU is a subdivision of the Police Tactical Unit (PTU) of the Hong Kong Police Force.

Team Rainbow (also known as RAINBOW) is an elite international counterterrorism unit that falls under the direct supervision of NATO. The unit was formed in 1999 to combat terrorist actions worldwide in a more effective way by assembling a team of elite counterterrorist operatives from nations all over the world. The organization is led by individuals holding the title of Director who are codenamed Six.

Every Operator is equipped with a drone. Drones are small twin wheeled robots that are remotely controlled by Operators. Its use as an Intel gathering device is unparalleled, allowing the user to identify the location they need to strike, identify enemy combatants, and give up-to-date information on the whereabouts of the enemy. They can be destroyed with one well-placed shot.

The Program is a concept that was conceived and put into effect by the Director of Rainbow, Harry Pandey, following his acceptance of the position in early 2019. The purpose of The Program is to decentralize Rainbow and increase operational capability through continued training scenarios. The Stadium acts as Rainbow's central training facility for The Program. It featured a gym, medical bay, firing range, dormitories, cafeteria, lounges, R&D lab, and a movie theatre.

The White Masks are a terrorist organization. They are easily identifiable by the white masks concealing their faces. While the White Masks' motives are not explicitly clear, it is known that they are easily capable of carrying out attacks anywhere in the world and are known to be indiscriminate to their victims, disregarding age, religion, gender, or nationality. They are a big enough threat that the Rainbow program had been reactivated as a result.
