Description: Bruce is 6'1" inches tall & of muscular build, he has bright red hair & that's how he got his nickname. After many years in the sun around the world his complexion is a deep brown. Bruce is everyone's mate, until you cross him, then his fiery temper (care of his Irish mother he tells you) takes hold and the fists will come flying. After he has calmed down he always regrets what has just happened.


Background: Blue grew up in the north of Sydney, he was always a sportsman & threw himself at each game he played with passion during his school years, as a result of this his academic history was less than could be desired. At 16 Blue decided to leave school & get an apprenticeship.

He signed up as a Fitter & Turner in his uncle's factory, and spent a lot of his time switching between there & TAFE (Technical School). His experience of working in a factory began to get to him & at the end of his apprenticeship he decided to join the Army.

In the army Blue found another world he found something else he enjoyed as much as his sport. He advanced through the ranks & served in UN peacekeeping forces in Namibia, Cambodia & Somalia. Whilst serving in Somalia he met his future wife a U.S. Army Supply clerk (Stephanie Miles). They married a year later & they agreed that when her time came up she would move to Australia & they would be together. The World however has other ideas, 3 months before the end of her time the twilight war started and they lost contact.

Blue was sent to Cypress as part of the UN Peacekeeping Force in 1996, a year later the Turks invaded & the Peacekeepers were pulled out to Germany. It was here that Blue met Snowy & they became good friend's (Blue is a little protective of Snowy after they lost a few mates to the French). After the combined unit was attached to I German Corps Blue discovered that his wife was alive & serving with XI US Corps. He was hoping to meet her & had arranged to get to Kolobrzeg when I German Corps got its marching orders. A quick phone conversation was all they got.

During the offensive Blue, was captured by the Russians & after several escape attempts he was sent to Vladimir Zhirinovsky Political Re-Education Camp. He has been there for long enough & can't wait to get out.
