Territory: Hereford

Summary

The 22nd Special Air Service Regiment is the British Army’s premier special forces unit, based in Hereford. One of the most famous and feared tier-one units in the world — the originator of modern counter-terrorism tactics, the CQB kill house, and the doctrine that every other Western special forces unit has borrowed from since 1980.

Ronnie Vint served with 22 SAS in Mobility Troop. A phenomenal CQB operator and an absolute nightmare administratively — his service record is a repeating cycle of promotion for combat performance and demotion for criminal behaviour. His Commanding Officer eventually sent him to the defense contractor program to get rid of him.

Role in Campaign

Background faction. The SAS represents Ronnie’s military pedigree — the proof that beneath the petty theft and bad temper is a genuinely elite soldier. It also explains his skill set: Karate 15, Guns (Rifle) 16, and a deep CQB doctrine. The Regiment trained him to be exceptional at violence; it just couldn’t train the villainy out of him.

Needs
