Age: 25 Height: 6'0" Weight: 170 lbs. Build: Very fit, yet light build. Hair: Black, with blueish sheen. Very strait, with long pieces that sometimes get in his face. Close cropped around his neck, but longer up top (just short of nose length in the bang area). Eyes: A very vibrant blue, rimmed in black. Skin: Very pale. Clothing: He is almost always dressed in black (to better blend into the night). His shirt is a form fitting black t-shirt, with a dark grey army vest over top. His pants are a baggy black, white and grey army pattern, and are rolled up at the bottoms to the top of his tall black boots. He wears a large belt with many pouches on it. He wears a dark grey headband around his forhead, but his long hair still goes in his face. Other: He has a very mysterious and haunted look to him, yet he is extremely beautiful. ((yes... I said beautiful... and I do remember he is a guy XD)). Stands very upright and strait as if constantly at attention, though he moves gracefully.

 Pheurn may come across as uptight and cold when first meeting people. He generally keeps to himself because almost everyone he has ever cared for has died. He has a tight control over his emotions and body, and rarely lets anything show. Since he knows nothing outside of the military and training, his social skills are very lacking. He does not understand sarcasm, and does not lie. These things are foreign to him. Though he has been trained to fight and kill without emotion, he is very innocent when it comes to the ways of the world and how deceptive and false people can actually be. As a result he usually thinks the best of people, and even when wronged, he usually ignores it as if it had not happened, or believes that perhaps someone had made a mistake.
He rarely acts on his own, for he is used to taking orders without question, and is very efficient at it. He feels more comfortable being told what to do by a superior. He accepts his predicaments, whatever it may be, as meant to be and unavoidable, and reacts in a cool calculated manner that does not have room to question the circumstances or motives of those that may be behind it.
Though it is hard to crack his defences, once befriended, Pheurn becomes a loyal friend who would fight to the death to defend the honor of those he cares about.

Pheurn's mother and father were often away. They were always very busy with business matters, though Pheurn was too young to understand what exactly they did. He spent more time with his nanny than he did with his own parents. He was only six when, upon returning from one of thier various business trips, his parents died in a plane crash. Devestated, he was sent away from his nanny and home, to live with his goodnatured yet alcoholic uncle in a small town on the border of nowhere. Angered at what fate had dealt him, Pheurn refused to follow in his uncles footsteps and spend his life as a drunken farm hand. With no money for school, he worked hard on the farm every day, tonning his body, and on his 17th birthday he left to join the army. Pheurn was talented, driven, and in peak physical condition, and after 9 weeks of basic training, he became a Private first class. Almost immediately after obtaining this rank, he left to Georgia and attended Pre-Ranger school; a 13 day extensive training program designed to prepare students for one of the most elite military groups; the Rangers. Here he met his first major challenge. Though Pheurn was physically at the top of his class, Ranger's also expected thier soldiers to have the most strict control over emotions and mental stresses. Though Pheurn had proven to have more than adequate control to become a private, Rangers demanded something more.
He stumbled here, but his drive was such that eventually he was able to contain his anger, supress his emotions, and rid himself of his dissapointments with life. He entered Ranger school ready for anything, and over the three 21 day phases, he was crafted into a finely forged weapon that felt no pity, shame, or emotion when it came to warfare and killing. The training was more intense than anything he had ever experienced before in his life, and his superiors seemed to not only require, but to expect an inhuman amount of control, power, and determination.
He was assigned to the alpha team, and there met his ranger buddy and soon to be best friend; Tomas Evans. As ranger buddies have to complete everything as a team, together they mastered all the physical training, airborne operations, map reading, night and day land navigation, many mile runs, combatives, knots, combat water survival, road marches, Diver training, fast rope training, and combat lifesaver training. They were almost inseperable, and after finishing ranger school, they both attended a 3 week course at the STTU Sniper School, where they learned to even further hone thier mental control and marksmanship, before moving on to the 75th Ranger Regiment.
As an amazing team, Pheurn and Tom were able to secure a possission as the 3rd Battalion's second sniper team (as each battalion only has two teams). Working under thier superiors, the team excelled, and for a couple of years they were content with thier circumstances. Eventually however, as all things change, Pheurn was promoted to Second Luitenant and separated from his best, and truthfully, as he was a very reserved person, only friend. Not even a full month had passed before he was notified that Tomas Evans had been K.I.A.

The death of his comrade, ranger buddy and best friend hit Pheurn harder than even the death of his parents. Now he was utterly alone. He blamed himself for Tom's death, reasoning that if he had not left the team, he could have saved his best friends life. Either that, or died with him, which seemed more preferable than life as it was. Emotions that had been carefully supressed came crashing to the surface, and Pheurn struggled to maintain a sense of sanity.
In his rare and consuming grief he resigned from the military. It was the military that had forced him to leave his friend, which had lead to his death. He could not stand to be the superior (even though not a very powerful one) of anyone, forced to make decisions which might lead a future Tom to thier death.
In an attempt to distance himself from comrades that he might eventually come to care about and probably see killed, he refused to return to the military. In his cold grief, and since being a soldier was all he knew, he started taking money for assassinations. He never questioned those who hired him, but preformed his job with the cold detatchment of someone who had completely abandoned morality and thier sense of humanity. He lost his drive and his dreams. He had nothing to live for and therefore did not care what happened to him, losing all respect for anyone elses lives in the process. As far as Pheurn was concerned, he was a weapon and nothing more.
Three years passed with Pheurn living like this until an early morning on a cold January day. Pheurn lay across a high rooftop, waiting patiently for his intended target. Frost crusted over him and painted his hair sparkling silver, but patience was the most vital part of his job, and so he continued to wait. Time crept by, and then finally a man rounded the corner. This would be his only chance, yet he followed the mans progress steadily and took the time to get the perfect shot. His eyes narrowed as he squeezed the trigger. The man was dead before he hit the ground. Pheurn lay there, unmoving and hiden from sight. His job was finished, and he once again waited patiently for an opertune time to escape. He was still watching as a young girl holding the hand of a slightly older boy rounded the corner and saw the dead heap that lay almost serenely in the middle of the street. With an almost inhuman screech, the girl wrenched herself away from her older brother and ran to clutch at her dead father. The boy, frozen to the spot with shock and unable to move or react, by some twist of fate happened to look right to where Pheurn lay waiting. There eyes locked for an instant, and time seemed to stop. Nothing existed but the two of them swimming in a world of the little girls screams. Then the boys glazed eyes rolled up into his head, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
In that moment, all the faces of all the men Pheurn had ever killed flashed through his mind. Most of them had been murderers themselves, and deserved death, but that did not give Pheurn the right to make fatherless families of innocent children. He swore a path to redemption, but those who hired him would not make things that easy...

Pheurn is not on the island, and therefore has not experienced any changes.

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers.
Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other soldier.
Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some.
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.
Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.
Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.
