Frank Bilders - Farcry 2
Frank gives the Irish a bad name. He was a terrorist in Belfast. Growing up in the mean streets, hanging round the Falls road and running 'packages' around. He ended up in The Maze, a notorious prison in Northern Ireland, where he was responsible for the deaths of four other inmates. He was released after he was knee capped, which for the uninformed normally means being shot in the back of the knee and blowing your Patella off, but it can also mean having your knee cap fractured by a severe beating. Charming I know.
Frank was accused of turning informant after that and dissapeared off to Africa where he's available as one of your mercenary crew. Overall he doesn't come across as a particularly nice person. In regards to the Irish and terrorism, I'm not even going to go there. Suffice to say I was born in Belfast and my family left when I was seven because things had gotten so bad. When people say not to talk about politics and religion, that goes triple for the Irish.
I will mention that being the only Irish kid in school every one assumed I (like, me personally) was in the IRA. Of course they also thought the Italian kid was in the Mafia and the boy from Singapore was secretly a ninja. Kids are stupid.
Overall Frank is pretty Irish, with the winking, penchant for green tracksuits and staying deathly pale even though he lives in Africa. But he only gets two Shamrocks out of five for fulfilling the stereotype that we're all terrorists.
