PUNCHLINE!
"I alone will be laughing in the end, so please keep watching me!"
'Punchline', formerly SEAL Team Six, DEVGRU and CIA SOG, now runs rampant as a hired mercenary.
Emerged from Hmong gang violence, only to be seduced by the military's promise of escape. Trained to be a lethal weapon, his mastery of chemical warfare and disregard for moral boundaries made him invaluable. Beneath his stoic obedient facade lied boiling resentment, a realization that he's constantly someone else's pawn. Now, a rogue mercenary, he plays around with chemical weapons for the highest bidder, fueled by a burning desire for autonomy and a deep-seated aversion to authority. In a world where loyalties shift like shadows, 'Punchline' treads a perilous path, torn between his past and an uncertain future while trying to scrub any proof he ever existed.

Personality
Apathy
Contrary to what his face and perky switching personality may imply, he does not feel much. Although nerve damage forces him to smile and laugh often, Punchline considers himself an expert at pretending to feel and look happy, because that's disarming to others. Physically, he can feel pain but not enough. His combination of a constant feeling of boredom and numbness means he seeks a rush, and will resort to inflicting violence on others to feel.
Capricious
Punchline makes it a habit to keep others guessing because it amuses him. He's constantly bored. You can be rest assured that when he's angry, he's being genuine.
Crass
Hailing from Southern California, United States, Punchline talks fast, blurts out anything he's thinking. When it's bad, his brain fails to keep a coherent thought and he can be prone to tangents. He curses frequently, but doesn't overuse them. He's loud, his typical speaking volume is by default set to an 8 out of 10.
Excitable
Punchline will take on anything if it seems interesting enough. Punchline fails regularly to have a good self preservation and will do most things if it promises to keep him amused.
Intelligent
Had he not gone into the military, there might be another timeline where he's off at Stanford University.... He plays stupid often, and even in his bouts of psychosis he is smart, he's just off track.
Paranoid
Punchline didn't spend his time pulling favors for people to recognize him! He's admant on nobody knowing who he is or was, and he hates it when there's cameras, any sort of documentation of him beyond just Punchline!

Summary
Pre-Enlistment:
Surrounded by Hmong gang violence in the United States, 'Punchline' was urged to take the educational path out. His parents, survivors of the Secret War, knew he had an unnerving pull towards violence and wanted to give him a better life. He was on the path towards groundbreaking chemical research in higher education under his parent's best wishes before he realized he wouldn't be able to afford it. The United States military seized their chance under the guise he could join and put his curiosities and talents for them. He didn't care where he was sent, so he went to the Navy.
Enlistment:
Upon going through bootcamp and eventually passing the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL school (BUD/S) and SEAL Qualification Training (SQT), he was selected for a team. He went through the motions as a SEAL and eventually found himself in DEVGRU (Commonly known as 'SEAL Team Six'/abbreviated for "Development Group") to fill the void of constant boredom. His unusual lack of attachment to his body and harboring no moral reservation about violence made him a great asset.
A soldier that could be put to work with very illegal chemical weaponry. The CIA uses ethnic-looking agents to pin blame on "foreign actors" all the time. An ideal candidate. False flags and sarin, are enjoyable activities for a man looking to be constantly entertained. He was picked up by The CIA's Special Activities Center (SAC) to work in their Special Operations Group (SOG) as a result.
He realized mid-mission in a foreign country (somewhere in the 2000s), that supporting the United States was the last thing he wanted to do. He nursed a deep-seated resentment, feeling as though every aspect of his life, including his birth in the United States, had been orchestrated.
He deserted, going AWOL. Pulling favors with foreign countries in exchange for his talents, he wiped every record that proved he existed. Today, he experiments with chemical warfare. The constant exposure to his creations has exacerbated his lack of appropriate responses to scenarios, where reflexive laughter and smiling has taken the "correct" response due to nerve damage. Chemical weapon usage is highly against the Geneva Convention, but he doesn't care about that and consistently enlists his help to countries fighting against US-backed militaries. How he isn't dead at this point, I don't know. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it does not bend towards justice despite SOG being considered the most secretive special operations force within the United States, with fewer than 100 operators. The CIA is chasing after the absence of a person rather than a person with a record.
Post-Enlistment:
Today, his creations fall into the hands of Makarov. His disdain for the ultranationalist isn't because he's "good"; it stems from a deep-seated aversion to Makarov's ethos. An individual fixated on controlling others now exploits the work of someone vehemently opposed to obedience.
