History

Rowen was the youngest of 5 brothers, and a sister. His father was a vet from WWI, and intended to teach all of his offspring the secrets of how to survive a war. Rowen was the slowest learner, but in the end, the most skilled. He'd mastered the art of bayonet fighting with flying colors, and he was very skilled with a handgun. His father's .357 magnum was his favorite gun in the world. He loved shooting that thing.

Rowen was a rather bright individual as well. He went through High School, with a B+ average, and voted most likely to succeed. As if that meant anything.
Soon after, WWII broke out. Rowen knew what his father expected of him. Not wanting him to be disapointed, he gathered his guts, and signed up for the war effort, along with all 4 of his brothers. But as a special gift to Rowen, his father gave him his magnum, as a symbol of his pride.

Rowen was assigned to Baker Squad and proved his merit as the best shooter in the group. However, Baker squad was victim to a mortar stike, and Rowen was the only survivor. He was soon reassigned to Bravo Team, under the command of Tyler Jacobs. He's new to the group, but kind none the less.
