Background
Adrian grew up in a big family and is 3rd child of his four other siblings. His parents & generations before them were all farmers and lived together in a tightknit farming community. Unlike his two family, Adrian wanted to go outside the community and see the world.
By the time he graduated from High School, he realized he will not be able to fulfill his dreams unless he goes to university. Which is not possible given his meagre finances and his parents saw little need to do so as they were content with their lives.
When the US Marine Corps came by town for a recruitment drive. Adrian was amongst the first to enlist in return for a scholarship. After his training, Adrian was deployed to numerous areas of conflict.
His commanding officers eventually took notice of him and sent him for rangers training earning his tab. He was subsequently reassigned to a special forces unit which saw the fiercest combat in various warzones.
Adrian fulfilled his goals of seeing the world although not in the manner he had expected. The unit he was in had a 100% mission success rate until his last mission. Found drifting in the arctic ocean on an ice floe by a eco-activist. The Sea Shepards eventually radioed for help and handed the severely wounded Adrian over to U.S Naval forces in the vicinity.
The rest of his unit were never found and Adrian was unable to recall any events related to this mission. Following this incident, Adrian was pulled from his unit and given leave from active service. Investigations are still underway even after his recuperation.
Unable to return to active service anytime soon. Adrian decided to further his studies in Paragon City. There he learnt of the perils that faced the City and decided to volunteer for crime fighting action in his spare time. Taking on the callsign as Steel Courage.
