Piers Nivans

Piers has broad facial features and light brown hair in a short front spike, as well as hazel eyes. He is around 5'10"- 5'11" and is left-handed. He is twenty-four years old. He wears basic tactical gear including a grey coat with matching military-issue cargo pants, light brown combat boots, a brown tactical vest, and black leather gloves. Most apparent is a brown box-weave scarf around his neck, resembling a shemagh or keffiyeh. He also wears camouflaged knee pads and numerous camouflaged pouches on both legs, his vest, and on a tactical belt around his waist. A pouch on the left breast of his vest has two emblems embroidered on it. One is military blood-type patch imprinted with "A POS" (stating his A-positive blood type), the other being a brown camouflage patch that reads "Special Operations Unit, BSAA" with a symbol of a winged shield and a sword overlapping it.

According to his file, Piers' family has a history in the military dating back to his great-grandfather. Piers personally wanted to follow this tradition for as long as he could remember. He graduated at the top of his class from an elite military academy and soon joined the U.S. Army's Special Forces.

At some point in his tenure within the Special Forces, Piers began to want a greater calling to make use of all of his training. In 2010, he met Chris Redfield, who was so impressed with Piers' skills as a sniper that he asked him to join the BSAA. Piers' eventually became a member of Alpha Team as Chris' second-in-command.

Piers was an ace marksman and was regarded as the top sniper in the BSAA. His main weapons of choice were the MP-AF and the Anti-Materiel Rifle. As well as his sharpshooting skills, he also possessed some technical talent, demonstrating his ability to hack certain computational devices.

He is quick witted with a great sense of humor even in tough situations. He likes making puns but will laugh at almost anything. His young age shows with how much he likes having a good time. On missions, he's serious and focused.
