Always a little on the edge, Dalton is a very impulsive individual, taking action at the first chance. Due to his constant use of psionics, hallucinations do happen occasionally for him, although don’t affect him all that much. He’s also a very laid back individual at times, not really giving a care for most things. Usually performs the best in a closed environment with several allies.

Background

Dalton was born in London, 1991, to a lowly family in the slums. At the age of 18, he had enlisted in the BAF, wanting to escape the terrible life he had during his childhood. Being deployed, he had learned that life was a harsh thing, and quickly rose through the ranks. Eventually reaching the rank of Corporal, he was discharged due to medical reasons, and he quickly became jobless. Seemingly, this was the end of his career.

He was wrong. Soon after, a mysterious person approached him, offering him a second chance at fighting for a cause. Filled with delusions of becoming a hero, he would quickly accept, and hence, his XCOM career began. One of the first people to sign up at XCOM, Dalton served as an assault, usually on most operations.

Eventually, XCOM had discovered psionics, and was looking for candidates to apply for the program. Dalton was one of the first people to apply, and was shown to have an extremely high willpower. He quickly had gotten through training, and became one of XCOM’s strongest Psi-Operatives. As autopsies were performed, he had learned even more about Psionics, becoming the first person to mind control an Ethereal and learning Rift.

Then, disaster struck. The XCOM base was discovered by the aliens, and was assaulted heavily. Almost everyone was slaughtered, barring a few soldiers. This event had critically wounded Dalton, putting him into a coma for several months. Having no other option, the researchers at XCOM had used him as a test subject for MELD, and had modified his genes. The Adaptive Bone Marrow which was applied to him had somehow healed him from the grievous injuries he had sustained.
