Official Bio[]
In 1980, Roderick Willem “RW” Bresden entered the rigorous process of Selection for the British Special Air Services (SAS), the elite forces unit formed during WWII. Ninety-five percent of his fellow trainees did not complete the program; Bresden finished first in his class. He served with distinction in the Falkland Islands War (1982) where he participated in several successful raids into Argentinean-held positions.
His intelligence and bravery under fire got him noticed. Throughout the remainder of the Cold War, Bresden was often “borrowed” by MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, for covert missions. In one case in 1984, MI6 had been tipped off that an important Moscow operative was under KGB surveillance. On the day before the Soviets were going to arrest her as a spy, Bresden led a small team that liberated her and destroyed all the incriminating evidence, leaving the Soviet authorities without any proof of espionage. Bresden’s flawless execution of the plan, which he had devised, earned him an “eyes-only” commendation.
RW Bresden also served during the Gulf War where he personally destroyed 2 mobile SCUD Missile launchers. At the end of that war, he went against orders and joined the Kurdish rebels, helping them retreat and entrench in Northern Iraq to escape Saddam Hussein's wrath. After Iraq, Bresden retired from the SAS and entered life as a “contractor,” hiring out and even volunteering his special skills and training for causes that he believed in. Though his contracted activities have never been verified, there is evidence that Bresden took jobs in Somalia, Rwanda, the states of former Yugoslavia, and other “hot spot” locations, helping local civilians organise and fight back against marauding aggressors.
