Likes:|
Special Agent Luke Hitch is a man who takes his job very seriously. He more than likes what he does it is a part of him, it defines him. He is an FBI agent to the core and that's all he knows. As such he has trimmed the fat from his life of anything that does not add to or improve his work performance. He expects his agents to be punctual at all times, this is paramount as a paramilitary operative. When he tells you to be somewhere at 10:00 he means 10:00 not 10:01 not 10:05, 10:00 exactly. He also values dependability and resourcefulness in those around him. If he sends someone out and a mission goes to shit, their ability to adapt, improvise and overcome goes a long way to impress the hard to impress man. Coming from a military background as a US Army Ranger Hitch tends to be neat, clean and efficient in all things and values those qualities in others. Again, a result from his time in the military, those who can follows orders well get good marks in Hitch's book. For the more mundane side of the man Agent Hitch oddly enough has something of a sweet tooth, strange to see a man as intimidating as he is munching away on a lollipop or bubblegum but he's always had an affinity for sweets. He also has a soft spot for animals and has three dogs that travel with him everywhere. In order to build a deeper connection with the canines Luke had all three dogs trained by the Bureau when they were puppies to make them certified field K-9 units. One is a trained bomb sniffing dog, another is a trained drug sniffing dog and the third is trained at tracking people similar to what is used in SAR (Search and Rescue) operations. Possibly his greatest love however is the Law itself. Hitch sees the Law as nearly perfect and unbiased, but above all else fair. When nothing else seems to make sense in the world the law always does and that gives him solace when he's up against the scum of humanity.
Dislikes:|
Due to his extremely fast paced and intense life style along with his devotion to his profession Luke abhors laziness and those who would rather not deal with issues that are presented to them. They are seen as cowards and not worth his time. Naturally as a law enforcement professional Luke hates criminals in all their varying colors. From gangsters and hitmen to thugs and drug dealers, you break the law you've made a terrible enemy. One thing he can't stand are those trickster individuals, people who physically have no power yet use their mind to device and destroy. People like that set his teeth on edge and make Hitch just want to pummel their face in. Being an atheist Hitch also hates the overly religious or those who run to their faith whenever they're too weak to deal with what life has dealt them. He sees them as ignorant and stupid and would rather not deal with them. The thing that puts a fire in Luke more than anything is the arrogance of criminals who believe themselves above the law. Those overconfident enough to actually think they are untouchable receive the full wrath of Luke Hitch when he comes to take you down, and nothing in this world can stop him when he sets his mind to apprehending a target.
Fears:|
The fear of failure is a big deal for Hicks. He's good at his job, really good but the concept that he'll screw up and lose a man infuriates and scares him. There was a time that it was mainly because he didn't want a black mark on his record. To have a loss next to all those wins. Fortunately Hitch has grown since his early days in the Bureau. He has gained a great love for law and order as concepts and these things are symbols to him. The fear of failing and allowing someone to usurp the things he's sworn to uphold does frighten him greatly.
Due his high impact style of law enforcement there is a significant part of Hitch that fears he may get some innocents killed in the crossfire of his war on crime. Now Luke has ruined lives in the past, broken up marriages, orchestrated hate between children and their parents all to get his man but if in the course of his hunt his devotion mutates into recklessness and ends up getting innocents killed is something that could really get to the big man. It is for that very reason that Hitch is so obsessive about ensuring that his orders are followed out to the letter and everything is planned for ahead of time to ensure things like that do not happen but nothing is guaranteed in war and Luke knows that.
Finally his greatest fear is also his greatest love, the law. There is a deep dark part of Hitch that is terrified that the law will be misused and turned into something ugly and as a result turn Hitch into the very thing he's been fighting against. He knows the law has its faults and while he may only see a few in the system they are still there. The plethora of legal loopholes for example aggravates Hitch to no end. The fact that the law can be turned into a weapon in the hands of the corrupt, forcing Luke to compromise his ideals to uphold the law is something he is just not ready to deal with.
Secrets:| Hitch has one secret, one truth that he has carried the majority of his adult life. One secret that looms over his past from his days in the military. On a mission in Uganda, Hitch's superior officer had gotten their face slashed with a bit of broken glass by a villager after attempting to rape her. The young Luke Hitch was a proud American soldier and had always followed orders without question but when his CO ordered in a rage for his squad to open fire on the civilians stating that they were insurgents despite no evidence to corroborate his claim Hitch was caught with a conflict of faith. To his eternal regret he opened fire along with his squad and wiped out a village of fifty people. The sounds of their screams and the stench of their bodies haunts him to this day. His actions that day were the only dark part of his time in the military and despite the fact that entire event was covered up and forgotten hes never told anyone about it.
Hobbies:| Hitch doesn't have much free time and spends nearly all of his waking hours working. When he does get a bit of time he enjoys spending it with his dogs, working out, being at the shooting range and cooking oddly enough.
Talents:| His time in the military and additional training he received in the FBI has forged Hitch into a expert marksman with most fire arms. He is also extremely albeit brutally gifted in CQC. He is known to beat many of his targets into submission should they attempt to resist arrest. Luke also has an gifted tactical mind, able to plan and devise a strategy to deal with almost any situation. His skill at tracking and apprehending a target has become something of a legend within the Bureau.
Deficits:| On the job Luke can be like a pit bull with a bone. He's relentless and tenacious but that can also be a huge weakness, unwilling to accept defeat he can be so driven to get his man he could very well make a mistake in order to catch a target.
Weapons:| Special Agent Lucas Hitch has every weapon imaginable available to him through the federal government but is known to always have these next few weapons close at hand.
The Smith & Wesson Model 629 is Luke's sidearm of choice. A .44 caliber revolver with enough stopping power to drop an ox this weapon features a number of special customizations including a weighted barrel to reduce recoil, match-grade trigger, and accessory rails for mounting optics. This cannon is always strapped at Luke's side.
His preferred rifle is the Colt M4A1. With an M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System attached to it and a C-More red dot sight, the shotgun attachment can be removed in lieu of a M203 grenade launcher load out. Hitch is known to always have this rifle in his truck.
Beyond these weapons Hitch has access to anything and everything one could imagine, provided for him by the FBI. From shotguns to sub machine guns, RPG's to sniper rifles it's all just a phone call away for Hitch and his men.
Personality:| Unlike most agents and law enforcement officers Hitch refuses to handle the mob with kid gloves the way most government agencies due in order to avoid a fire fight. In fact he dares them to pull on him. He takes the fight to their doorstep and makes it personal fast. He hits his targets hard and knows everywhere they're weak. The way he sees it if your names hits his desk your ass is his, he doesn't really care if you're some two bit thug or the head of a crime family. You break the law he takes you down, simple as that. His mandate is to take down Jonahthon Genovese which means he doesn't really care if the rest of the family gets off as long as he takes down Jonah. He will attempt to turn many of the family members by leveraging the things they love most against them. Loved ones and kids are more than acceptable means to achieve his goal as far as he's concerned. Hanging someone out to look like a rat is also a tried and true tactic he'd likely employ.
He is relentless and unforgiving when he's pursuing a target and his attitude toward them is as they are the only thing in the world he cares about. He hounds his targets incessantly until he takes them down. He is methodical, precise, brutal and efficient. When up against a threat that no one can overcome, he does. He is easily one of the best agents the FBI has to offer and as such is the worst nightmare of any criminal unlucky enough to have their name hit his desk.
History:| Luke Hitch, tough as nails FBI Special agent whose a new member of the organized crime task force assigned to take down the Genovese. Originally a member of the DSS he was picked up by the bureau for his hard nosed style of fast and aggressive captures of dangerous fugitives. He began his career in the military right out of high school as an Army rifleman before going to special forces as a Ranger. He spent a few years as a US Army Ranger before getting a contract with DSS. With the federal Defense Security Service he made a name for himself pursuing and apprehending some of the FBI's most wanted. It was shortly after that the bureau took him on and made him one of their top agents. He's made a career out of taking on the worst this worlds criminals have to offer and making them beg for mercy.
His last assignment was in Los Angeles completely dismantling the West Coats Crime syndicate. Up against Cartel, street Gangsters, Triads and even Yakuza Hitch battled them all, unafraid and daring them to fight him. They all tried and they all failed. Through viscous raw power he obliterated his opposition and blew the case wide open. Thanks to him LA sleeps a little safer now that the big names in organized crime are all either in prison or in the ground. It was not long after his convictions went through that the FBI tasked him with doing the same to Jonahthon Genovese on the East Coast.
Miscellaneous:| Special Agent Luke Hitch drives this beast, a Armet Gurkha F5. A cross between a tank, APC and an SUV this thing can bash through walls, take RPG's and chase down a fleeing vehicle all without breaking a swat.
Hitch also has three dogs. Sarge, is the tracker out of the three, trainsed in search and rescue yet is often used to track fugitives. Duke, is the bomb sniffing dog. Rare for a Rottie but Duke has shown an aptitude for the work.Gunner is a trained drug sniffing dog, again an rare breed for a job usually reserved for hounds but like Duke Gunner has picke dup on the work well and is an asset to have around. All three dogs are fiercely loyal to Hitch and have fought at his side against those foolish enough to try and attack their pack leader while they're around. When not at work however all three are sweethearts.
