Quoted!

"Guys like us, Frank, we need this! It's all we're good for. Just a couple of assholes who thought we could have the good things in life. But we are not good people, Frank. We never were! What happens when we're dead? Nothing. Who mourns us, huh? Nobody. Me and you, Frankie… we're the same."-Billy Russo

Reputation

Billy Russo is not a name too many people know, at least those out of the veteran or PMC circles. If people are in those circles they know him to be an exceptional soldier, playboy and now relatively wealthy head of a small PMC with ambitions far larger than its actual size.

As Cerberus his current operating name he is also not excpetionally well known outside certain law enforcement agencies and criminal groups. So far he has been relatively small scale in the grand scheme of things. Pulling off a couple of incredibly well coordinated bank jobs and armoured car heists.

Biography

Billy has not had an easy life, from the time he was born he has always had to be a warrior. He was born to a crackhead mom before being abandoned by her. From there he was lost into the system, bouncing from foster home to foster home. None of them lasting more than six months at a time. Finally he was put into a group home. Although calling it a home is like calling Meth the nectar of the gods. He found out the hard way that not all good samaritans volunteer at orphanages for altruistic reasons. Some do it for easy access to lonely vulnerable children. Even then though against someone so much bigger than him Billy showed the spirit that would push him so far later in life. He took a bat to his attacker, getting in a few good hits before being overwhelmed and severely beaten. His early childhood taught him an important lesson; there is only one person you can ever really rely on. Yourself.

As soon as he came of age he left his former life behind and joined the Marine core where he quickly excelled creating several strong bonds with other exceptional soldiers. From there his rise was meteoric, making Marine Force Recon in record time before being recruited into a special operations group ran by the CIA and finally into Cerberus Squad. Cerberus squads mission was simple. Do the things the Military cannot be seen doing in his modern age and take on missions that no one else would touch. They conducted assassinations on HVT's as well as kidnappings and intense interrogations. Billy Russo is a smart man it didn't take him long to put all the dots together, discovering that not all the missions were totally above board. Not even in the incredibly loose standards of the CIA ran black ops. Managing to play his cards right he finished his time with Cerberus Squad managing to line his pockets enough to begin getting his PMC off the ground, but it was not enough. Not for what he has envisioned. So he turned the beginning of a PMC into an elite crew and took to the streets to make the rest of his fortune and finally his dream a reality.
