Corporal Grendel Wallus hopped off the military truck, landing in a mound of snow. He wiped the frost from his face, sending it falling towards his power armor. He carried his helmet in one hand, and a golden .50 AE Desert Eagle in the other. It shimmered in the faint rays of sunlight that shone through the dense, black clouds. He pulled back the slide, revealing a bronze .50 round in the chamber. He let go, and the slide popped forward. It was a very intimidating gun, one most military officers weren't allowed to use. But the Corporal had certainly impressed his superiors when he downed 28 targets with a supplied Desert Eagle, in exactly a minute and a half.
He had painted it gold because it was his favorite color. It was quite the coincidence, for his hazel eyes appeared almost a faint gold in the sunlight. Wallus was a big man by standards, he had arms thicker than the necks of most. He had a thin chin however, but you couldn't see it due to all the greyish-black hair there. Grendel had a short cut, with long sideburns and thick eyebrows. Despite his size he was incredibly fast. Some said he would be a Sergeant of possibly a CO of some squad in a few years. He damn sure knew how to use his shotgun.
Speaking of the Franchi SPAS 12, Wallus wasn't quite sure where it was. His shotgun had been taken by one of his commanders, Howard or something like that, to the weapons locker in his pre-selected snow cot. A sergeant tried to take the Eagle as well, but shortly after that attempt he was sent to the Infirmery for a broken wrist. The rest of his belongings, including a tool set (with lockpicks, hammers, nails, drills, electronic devices, and his lucky lead pipe) were inside his backpack, a massive brown bag. Also in this bag were dozens of grenades and explosives. Incendiary, Fragmentation, Plasma, Shrapnel, Stun, Smoke, Flash, everything. Even a few Claymores and Trip Mines that he found in the weapons cache back at the holding camp.
Corporal Grendel Wallus took off into the snowy night, towards the trench he would be staying in. It was a big criss-cross of deep and wide lines in the ground, with small fox holes for cover, and snow cots filled with bunks, lockers, and a pair of stoves. Corporal followed a path to his cot, using a hand-drawn map Howard had given him upon arrival. Upon entering the cot, he found his pre-selected bunk mate. "Stevens" his nametag said.
"Evenin'," said Wallus in a deep voice. Grendel surveyed the man, noting his grim appearance. War's stench had not yet left this place.
"What's up with that?" said Wallus, pointing to the golden coin hung around Steven's neck.
