Background

Believe it or not, Leonard Denton was born on July 4th, 1970 in the town of Sweetwater, Texas. His father was Leonard Denton and his grandfather was Leonard Denton. His father was a marine, his grandfather was in the Army. His family is rooted deeply in Sweetwater, and while the men were away serving their country, the wives and children stayed at home.

Growing up, Len was taught from day one that he should serve God, then his country then the great State of Texas. Every Sunday he was in church, then afterwards in front of the TV watching sports, usually football as he was raised up on the Houston Oilers and the Rockets. His love eventually shifted from the Oilers when they moved, to the Texans, despite the ribbing he would receive for it later in life.

Len's grades were nothing special, but he showed plenty of skill in athletics and music. Len was the type to make friends very easy and was rather popular in school, mostly due to this success in sports. He was never in trouble, but that doesn't mean he was never into mischief. He was a typical jock-type in the sense that he was expected to lead. And he would. Typical keggers and simple pranks were intricitely planned out by him much to the pleasure of those he led, and to the dismay of those who were his targets.

Len was also an avid hunter, who hunted with his father or other townfolk. Trained to hunt elk, deer, bear. Whatever was in season at the time, since he was of age to do so, he would have a license every year and every year he would bring something home. Even after he was of age and on his own, he continued to hunt, taking a couple weeks off during the prime hunting season.

Upon completion of high school graduation, Len earned a scholarship for athletics and attended West Texas State. Again, average grades, but stellar performance in several sports. This time he wasn't the big fish, but one of many smaller ones. He had difficulty at first adapting to his new role. Always the sports hero back at home, as a freshman — he was lucky to be used at all. As the years at school moved on he moved up in ranks and as a Junior was finally on the starting lineup and finally started being noticed again.

Completing college, Len considered the military as his father and his grandfather, but ended up becoming part of the DSP State Trooper. After a rough start, Len took to law enforcement like a duck to water. He absorbed the training — both mentally and physically — working Highway Patrol to start, getting plenty of experience with DUIs, traffic stops, self defense, accidents and illegal alien situations. As he moved up in ranks of the DSP, he was starting to get noticed by higher ups as a potential Texas Ranger and encouraged to apply.

After several months of contemplation, Len did apply for the Rangers as was accepted. His outstanding performance along with the endorsements of his supervisors, landed him a spot on the team. The cowboy hat was a plus. After about 10 years with the Rangers, Len was scouted for The Company. The offer was lucrative enough, and the sales pitch was even better playing on his patriotic sentiments - given the chance to serve his country as his father and grandfather did, Len signs up.

Len spent several years as a field agent in Texas, being commended for many successful missions until he was eventually promoted to the status of Senior Field Agent. However, there was a catch. His help was needed in New York City, where agents there were in need of some hands on leadership. He reluctantly accepted the position, loaded up his Jeep and took to the road, heading for the city.

Psych Profile

Martial Arts - More specifically, judo. Though he does know the fundamentals of several martial arts, his main focus is judo and hand to hand combat. It took him nearly 18 years to become a black belt. He is currently a first stage black belt. He incorporates this into any confrontations he may have, if it's more of an advantage for him to do so.

Marksman - Being an avid hunter from a young age. With proper training from the Rangers, he has perfected his aim and skill, allowing him to become a sharpshooter with a pistol.

Musician - While not entirely adept, Len has some talent in playing the guitar. He also can sing and rap. You might find him down at your local karaoke bar on nights when it's being featured, which will be even more entertaining if he's been drinking.

Leadership - Len is no stranger to having to lead a team into combat, on a mission. He has successfully navigated squads of rangers and agents through many difficult assignments, which have earned him many accolades.

Driving - Starting off in Highway Patrol, Len has had to take plenty of driver's training, with many years of defensive — well, mostly offensive — driving under his belt. Experiences include high speed chases inside and outside city limits, ice driving, and control on slick/wet surfaces.

Paramilitary - Tactical training is important for this cowboy. Training within the ranks of the Texas Rangers taught him plenty about leading a tactical assault, an ambush, flanking movements and plenty of other types of military maneuvers.
