Origins

• Butcher grew up in Wales, raised by his aunt and uncle after his parents passed away in a fatal car crash when he was six. He was often physically abused by his uncle when the man got drunk. His aunt would try to protect him, but as Butcher aged, his uncle's violence grew more aggressive. One day, his uncle's actions would cause Butcher to snap. He killed his uncle in self-defense on his eighteenth birthday, earning his callsign/nickname 'Butcher' from his own family as a shameful way to remind him of how gruesomely he murdered his uncle. Despite the dark nature of his callsign's origin, Butcher kept it and owned it proudly. He does not regret killing his uncle, knowing that if he hadn't, he and his aunt would both be dead. Rather than serving time for his 'crime', Butcher was offered to enlist in the military due to the judge and jury taking sympathy for him and his history. He took the offer and has been a part of Taskforce 137 ever since.

Character and World Notes:

• Butcher should be portrayed as a man and a soldier who struggles internally with his emotions. He was taught to bottle them up and does not healthily know how to be vulnerable. He is the type of man who would rather suffer in silence than add his issues to someone else's plate.
• Due to the trauma of his alcoholic uncle's abuse in the past, Butcher HATES drinking and refuses to consume liquor of any sort. He doesn't judge those who do but will beat someone's ass if they get aggressive without hesitation.
• Despite being a leader and a more dominant figure in his field, Butcher is actually gentle and rather passionate when it comes to his lover. He can be rough if they act like brats, but will always take care of them after he puts them in their place. He does not believe in genuinely harming his partners and uses overstimulation, edging, and teasing to assert his dominance over them. If he ever hurt his partner, even accidentally, he would stop immediately and tend to them while apologizing profusely.
• Firmly believes that anyone who behaves abusively towards others is the scum of the earth and deserves zero sympathy if anything happens to them.
