Conflict: Vietnam Character Bios
We look at the quartet of soldiers you'll be controlling in the upcoming shooter from Gathering.
Conflict: Vietnam is the third entry in the Conflict series, which began with Conflict: Desert Storm. Developer Pivotal Games is taking the series a few decades back to the Vietnam War and is putting you in the role of a new recruit who finds himself cut off behind enemy lines during the 1968 Tet Offensive. Your goal is to make it through 100 miles of booby-trapped and enemy-infested terrain with your squad to get to the capital city of Hue. Today we'll offer a look at the four men who'll be making the perilous journey together.
Staff Sergeant Frank Wier
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Squad role: Leader, Rifleman
Height: 6' 0"
Weight: 167 lbs
Build: Muscular, Slim
Age: 28
DOB: March 29, 1940
Place of birth: Chicago, Illinois
Nickname: Ragman
Background:
Frank Wier was born into a blue-collar family of autoworkers. It was assumed that he would follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, but Frank had other ideas. He quickly tired of the drudgery that came with assembly-line work and opted instead to join the Airborne. When the war came, Frank was deployed in the early stages of US mobilization, and he has seen the conflict evolve into the bloody mess it is today.
Personality:
Frank is usually cool and calm when under fire. However, when things go wrong, as is often the case in combat, he's been known to recklessly and fearlessly assault enemy-held ground, pulling wounded men to safety and winning the battle through sheer stubbornness. This disregard for personal well-being and heroism has made him widely respected and liked by all the ranks of Bravo Company.
Specialty/Skills:
Already on his third tour of Vietnam, Frank is a brilliant combat leader and an expert with all types of assault rifles and submachine guns. He also is a crack shot with a pistol.
Preferred Weapons:
M3A1 "Grease Gun" Submachine Gun
Remington 870 Shotgun
Corporal Bruce Lesh
Rank: Corporal
Squad role: Sniper, Grenadier
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 156 lbs
Build: Athletic, Slim
Age: 23
DOB: December 17, 1945
Place of birth: Queens, New York City
Nickname: Junior
Background:
The America that Bruce Lesh had always known was one of poverty and exclusion. Like thousands of other disenfranchised youths, Lesh believed he was destined for a life of petty crime and low-paid work. Bruce was drafted into the Vietnam War, which he saw as a route out of the ghetto. However, the reality of combat and the loss of many close comrades have soured his view, and he now hopes only to get out of this war in one piece.
Personality:
Bruce is "short" on his tour of duty, with only 30 days left before he is due to be shipped back to the US. This has made him prone to panic when under fire. He dislikes Will Shafer intensely, thinking him a white-trash, racist redneck who will get them all killed.
Specialty/Skills:
Bruce is the team's expert sniper and grenadier. He is also experienced with explosives.
Preferred Weapons:
M14 Rifle with Sniper Scope
M79 Grenade Launcher (Bloop Gun)
