THERE IS A WAR OUTSIDE, COME SEE THE BULLETS FLY.
Guillaume Borde was born into a family struggling to stay afloat. He was an older brother of three young sisters whom were triplets, and son of a father who turned to alcohol when the days became particularly tough. His mother, although a charismatic woman, often disappeared for weeks at a time for more unsavory ways to bring in an income. Guillaume may have been a young boy, but he was no fool, and the bruises his mother wore home caused much strife between his parents.
The farm they resided on failed to produce crops. The soil was just as rotten as the land. Guillaume worked hard to till, plant, water, plow, and simply do; all to no avail. The land took so much of his life that for most of it he was a self-educated boy hardly enrolled in school. Showing up two days in a row was a miracle.
The depression, like many within its wake, did nothing to aid the struggling family. Guillaume traded hard labor for things as simple as clothes, making sure his sisters always came before him. His work ethic and efforts spread throughout the area, and soon he was hired by quite the wealthy family, the Belleroses. He became the stablehand of their estate, and it took no time at all to be considered family. Guillaume was a young man they found much potential in, and knowing of his struggles back home, they paid him generously.
With his new paycheck, Guillaume’s mother was able to abandon her less desirable occupation and further depend on her son. His father had even found himself eager to pursue the war effort and abstained from liquor. Not long after the Bordes were relatively back on their feet the Durants entered the picture. They were a family with problems of their own, but more importantly, a family the Bordes took in to protect. Refugees; within a quickly dilapidating world filled with rules that made little sense as Hitler reigned.
During the Durants stay Guillaume came rather close to Tristan. The boy became his first true friend who also shares a passion for books. They got along well, the relationship progressed, and for a while it was easy to look over the fact that the Durants and Bordes were both in danger. The Bordes kept them fed, kept them alive, and hid all identity and knowledge of their existence. The Durants, of course, could not stay forever. The Gestapo arrived only three days after the family had moved out.
The Borde family perished. They risked their lives and paid the price. Guillaume was working at the estate the day they were captured, and on his way home he came upon his mother, father, and three young sisters hanging in the town square. The farm and home had been torched; everything he had known was extinguished.
DO YOU HEAR THE BATTLE CRY?
After the death of his family, the Bellerose family Guillaume worked for offered him a place within their own. It was a kind gesture, and one that he may have accepted if his sisters were still alive. The fatal outcome, however, had left him closed-off and with an unquenching need for revenge. Therefore, Guillaume left with the clothes on his back, took up arms, and left France.
During training, he proved to be quite skilled at the mechanical art of sabotage. He was extremely efficient and often taught those above him how to better execute numerous missions revolving around the saboteur’s skillset. The young man’s determination propelled him forward at a swift pace. He caught the eye of his superiors and was soon shuttled other places.
Guillaume met the famed Deadshot within a POW camp. With the Commandos and numerous other men within the camp, he helped lead the raid in which liberated them. Like many of the rescuers outside and within the mission, Guillaume was recruited by Costin and inducted into the Commandos shortly after recovery. The Bellerose family continued to write and support him, often using their own fortune to send numerous items that the unit could use. Because of this, Guillaume considers himself forever in their debt, when truthfully they only wish for him to be a part of their family.
His place within the Commandos is a good fit. Most of the men residing within the group are much like him, and he gets along with quite a good portion considering his taste for silence. He believes the Commandos will mark the end of his days and is content with that fact, but before that point is reached, Guillaume Borde will obliterate as much as possible.
