Spudz

Spudz earned his callsign not from any fondness for potatoes, but from the way he'd flatten opponents with the force of a spud gun—relentless and unexpected. Born in Cork to a family of dock workers, he enlisted at seventeen and found himself deployed across the bloodiest decades of the Troubles, where he learned that survival meant hitting harder and faster than your enemy. His service with the SAS in the South Atlantic during the Falklands campaign cemented his reputation as a soldier's soldier, a man who could read terrain like scripture and move through it like a ghost, until the moment he needed to be anything but. In 1997, with a discharge papers in one hand and a pint in the other, Spudz crossed the Atlantic seeking anonymity and a fresh start in the American South, though the ghosts of Belfast and Port Stanley followed him like faithful dogs. His tongue is sharper than his blade and his fuse shorter than a lit dynamite stick, but those who've seen him move through a brawl understand they're watching art—brutal, efficient, and utterly unstoppable. Fifteen years removed from the military, Spudz has become the kind of man employers hire when they need a problem solved quietly, and competitors avoid when they value their teeth. He drinks harder than he talks, which is saying something, and remembers every fight, every name, and every slight with the meticulous cruelty of a man who learned that forgetting could get you killed.
