Jagged Alliance 3[]
| "When he was just out of medical school, Michael gave up a bright future in medicine to become a mercenary. He is evasive when asked, but it's entirely possible Michael joined A.I.M. thinking it was Doctors Without Borders. Whatever the reason, MD saw his first combat in Arulco and has developed a taste for the soldiering life. His skills with knives come in handy for fighting as well as healing and his incurable optimism makes all who work with him want to learn from his example." - A.I.M. Dossier, Jagged Alliance 3 |
