A former demolitions specialist in the army, Damien Phoenix adored the destruction that he and his unit would cause. He had practically become obsessed with the destruction and his mind was becoming twisted with thoughts of using his explosives on something more than jus structures... such as a living being. The toll of war was having unusual effects on the mind of Damien, he loved the violence and wanted a more proper involvement in the physical fighting part of things. These were merely sick thoughts in the back of his mind though until a failed mission led to him being caught by the enemy an caused No Face to set off the rigged explosives despite the risk it had to himself. Waking up in an awfully disfigured state, Damien processed what had happened and came to the conclusion that his unit had abandoned him so that the could escape the enemy troops. He wanted revenge. And he would have it as he returned to his bae on foot and used the remaining explosives he had to send the whole place burning to the ground. Such acts of terrorism from an ex army member made him a highly desired member for the Black Dragon. When Kano himself made the offer to No Face he just couldn't refuse, a life of chaos... what's not to like?!
