Description
Ajax Striker The Ice-Cold Assassin AKA Striker from my Painkiller Universe.

Bio: Michael Ajax Konstantinos is a former soldier turned mercenary. At some point during his military career, he and a few others were subjected to medical experimentation to augment their physical abilities, granting him enhanced strength, durability, reflexes, and hastened recovery. Together, they carried out black ops missions for years until only Ajax remained. Retiring from the armed forces and with no family and no real experience doing anything else, he went into business for himself as a soldier of fortune.

Ajax quickly built up a reputation for his efficiency, capable of dispatching entire rooms full of armed enemies, and never questioning orders. He is routinely hired by Enrico Gotti, the West Coast King of Crime. It was Gotti who gifted Ajax the armor he dons during battle. The armor is bullet and flame resistant, turning an already formidable foe into an unstoppable force. As Striker, he's proficient with all manner of firearms and melee weapons as well as martial arts. His extensive arsenal includes carbines, pistols, grenades, knives, a sword, and a trick Bo staff that can transform into other weapons. His gauntlets contain short-ranged grappling hooks for weapon retrieval or maneuvering himself. His helmet allows him to stay in communication with allies and his current employer.

When Gotti's operations were being targeted by Painkiller, Striker was hired once again to remove the threat for good. During their first encounter, a damaged and still raw Painkiller was bested by Striker, but Painkiller narrowly avoided being killed.
Striker has a reputation for being an ice-cold killer, as he talks very little and executes enemies without a second thought, but he does have his own twisted code of honor, implementing some limitations for his contracts, and refuses assistance when battling an opponent he considers worthy. In Painkiller, Striker believes he has found such an opponent and awaits their rematch.
