Line 3:
Graham "Genocide" Mills was once the finest soldier in the Regium Republic military, respected by his peers and feared by his enemies. But when the war with the neighboring country of the Dragonov Federation ends with defeat, Mills is betrayed and sent to prison to await execution. But when he escapes, he's immediately found to be the most dangerous man alive, with or without his Special Assault Armor. Now, on the run from the military in both Regium and the Federation, Mills sets out to find the truth behind his unit's betrayal, the reasons for the war, and his own revenge against those who wronged him.

** To elaborate: During the graduation exercise for [[Training From Hell|Ranger training]], Mills and his squad come under attack from the instructors, who are attempting a mutiny. With most of his team dead except for Lars and Lenny, who are on the other side of the area, Mills singlehandedly penetrates the mutineers' compound, takes out most of their force, and kills the [[Colonel Badass]] leading them in single combat. Then the Dragon arrives with fresh troops, three Powered Armors, three [[Awesome Personnel Carrier
