Eric Armitage

Skills
Advanced Close Quarters Training, Trained Sniper and Weapons Expert.

Personality
Eric is unique, even among Americans. His upbringing in New Orleans gives him a distinct way of looking at life. Even his version of English is different than most American dialects. Belonging to the American subculture known as Cajun, he talks with a hint of his French roots. He has a fun loving nature at heart, and is a typical smooth talker. Taking life a bit easier than most, it's what kept him alive in a job so dangerous. However, when he's needed, he shows his serious side and becomes calculating and collected. Refuses to talk about his SF days, except to those who would understand...

Hobbies: Cooking, Soccer, Rugby, and (oddly enough) Piano playing.

Military History
Armitage was known as one of the more dependable enlisted of the 10th Special Forces out of Stuttgart, Germany. He has worked many times with EUCOM (US European Command) and UNIT before applying for Officer's School.

After finishing Officer's School, he was sent to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, USA to train with a group from the 5th Special Forces. The Fighting 5th was responsible for the current CENTCOM (US Central Command) mission in Iraq. He advanced quite fast through the ranks, reaching the rank of Army Captain. After meeting up with UNIT one last time, Armitage and his platoon were sent to Iraq on various sorties with the 101st Airborne aka the "Screaming Eagles." During one mission, the Captain lost his entire platoon to mysterious circumstances.

Armitage resigned himself to return home to Louisiana after his debriefing.

Personal History
Eric was born to prominent parents in New Orleans. After many incidents in his youth, his father sent him to various military schools to instill discipline. He was then accepted into the United States Military Academy. After his graduation, he refused his commission, saying that he had not earned his rank. Opting to become a grunt, he became well respected amongst the 101st Airborne that he served with. After a year, he wanted to become one of the elite, a Green Beret.

His General sent him to Ft. Bragg, New Jersey for the SOPC. After he was prepared in this course, he passed all of his Phases in his first try. The brass saw a determined soldier. However, he also became alienated from his family after he became more involved in the Army life.

Spending his days as a Weapons Sergeant, he seemed to live the good life. He even met a few girls during his time, including a former UNIT Operative he can't quite recall. However, strange events began happening near him. Things he couldn't explain.

This began to follow him throughout his time in Stuttgart. Events that he had no explanation for. People he didn't know, who knew him. Everything seemed out of place.

After losing his unit in Iraq, Eric was giving up on the life. He started to feel like he was cursed. After a layover in London, which forced him to stay in the city for a while. He saw something that would change his life. Torchwood. No real family to speak for. No woman to mourn him. No friends to call his own. Eric is alone, or is he...
