Biography:
Born and raised in the rural country-side just outside Chicago, Manny was herding livestock with his Father the moment he could walk and talk. By the time he was 16 he knew the rough terrain like the back of his hand, and by 18, full of piss and vinegar and against the wishes of his parents he signed up to be a guard for a trade caravan that was heading out of Chicago en route to Detroit and Toronto. This entailed being officially under the watchful eyes of the Council of Adam since the Council maintains demand for certain goods and directs where these Caravans go and sell their wares. What this actually meant was that Manny was nothing more than a meat-shield against insane raiders and wildlife looking for a quick meal.
Surprisingly, Manny became quite competent at his new job and his experience as a shepherd made it possible for him to scout the rougher parts of the country-side ahead of the Caravan without much trouble. By the time he turned 21 he had picked up skills as a half-way decent sniper, mostly out of necessity since he often gunned down wild-life and small pockets of gangbangers on his scouting trips.
At the age of 25, after making a stop in Miami, his group was attacked and completely over run by raiders with Manny barely escaping with his life. Tired, broke and starving he managed to move his way up city by city until he had reached Chicago, mostly by living off of the land and carefully avoiding any raiders that would love nothing more than to cook him in a stew, among other things. By the time he finished his journey, the traumatic experience was more than enough to make him rethink his career choice and he enlisted with Bunker Chicago as a Scout.
For the next seven years, Manny would leave the city and live in the dangerous country-side for days on end. Observing the migration patterns in the more nomadic raider groups and wild-life and occasionally getting into firefights if conflict could not be avoided. After a period of 3-5 days, Manny would return and present his report to the local authorities, spend two days resting and re-equipping, only to set out and start all over again. Eventually he requested a replacement of his digestive system with a synthetic one since the flora and fauna he ate to stay alive was beginning to make him dangerously ill, the operation was approved on the condition that his pay was cut by 25% for six months to make up for the costs. After a two week recovery period he was deemed fit and set out on regular duties once more with no future signs of illness.
There were questions about his mental health due to slow but steady changes in his personality and looks. The most obvious was his hair balding by the age of 29, likely caused by the stress of living in the do-or-die wilderness for so long. He's also slowly became more and more anti-social as when he first signed up he was always friendly and amicable but now is seen as a recluse who avoids most interactions with others.
Four weeks ago, during the fifth day of his scouting tour, Manny engaged in a firefight with a small group of raiders. While pinning down three from a higher vantage point, one managed to sneak around and flank him, firing at Manny with what could only be guessed as explosive ammunition. With two rounds hitting him just above his right elbow his arm was completely torn apart. Somehow he managed to get away and reach Bunker Chicago before dying of either shock or blood-loss. With his body stabilized, it was deemed by the Bunker that Manny was valuable enough to graft a cheaper cybernetic arm to replace his organic one. Ironically this proved to be a life-saver for Manny in the long run since he was in recovery when the Shadow Zone appeared and he surely would have been sent into the Zone to never return.
It seems however that Manny, for better or for worse, will not simply be able to return back to his old routine.For one reason or another he was been transferred to Carolyn’s squad, combine that with his new arm which he is far from being fully accustom to, Manny Rupert will most likely have some difficulties adjusting.
