For many generations, Lee's family has been law enforcement. Since the days of sheriff's and cowboys, it has been their honor to uphold the laws of the wonderful country of The United States of America. And they have been in almost every area of law enforcement possible. Detective, Sheriff, forensics, undercover, military police, and even a few in the upper levels of the CIA and FBI. But they can't say much about what they do. Sure there have been a few that went against the tradition, but not Lee. He went to the same high school and college as his father, taking the same criminal justice courses as well. He even joined the same police force in their hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. He was fully prepared to spend the rest of his career there, eventually attaining a respectable rank like Deputy Director or Commissioner. Why not aim high?
But that changed when his partner convinced him to come watch the SWAT World Challenge. Lee had always been a gung-ho kind of officer. He'd never let a perp get away on foot. He practiced martial arts and used them to take down armed assailants on several occasions rather then shoot. He had excellent scores shooting and great physical fitness. SWAT was the perfect combination of all of these. A challenge he had to take. A challenge he jumped into with his usual determination.
As soon as he could he applied for the next SWAT exam and passed on the first try. The job wasn't like the SWAT World Challenge he saw or the movie that came out that year but it added a little extra spice to life he didn't know he missed. Every time the call came in to suit up, he was one of the first ready, heart racing, and blood pumping. He also managed to join Lexington's SWAT World Challenge team and finally got to compete in the event that changed his life.
Since then, their department's SWAT Team has consistently rose each year in the standings, finally eeking out Germany's prestigious GSG9. His skills were now world ranked. And that is how he eventually became part of the UN Peacekeepers. The the war in Iraq and growing tension in middle east, they realized they were going to need more peacekeepers with training in urban and squad based tactics. Lee was invited to participate in the selection process and managed to squeak in with all the heavy competition.
