As I've mentioned on the old boards before the single most impressive and probably most important NPC in my campaign is an incredibly crusty old US Marine named Bartholemew Lincoln Lamont. He is exactly the same in looks and personality as Gunny Tom Highway from the film Heartbreak Ridge. When the PCs first encountered him he was a Gunnery Sgt (he kept getting busted down ranks because of his habit of assaulting officers) who was being held in a WarPac POW camp in Poland. Lamont had deliberately allowed himself to be captured because he had heard a rumour that his son was being held in the camp and was wounded (the rumour turned out to be false).

Major Po knew that due to Lamont's age he would be retired from the USMC when they got back to the CONUS so he arranged to have him commissioned. Now he is Captain Lamont and everyone in Po's unit fears the old man as he has served continuously in the USMC since Vietnam and is one of the most skilled snipers and unarmed combat fighters anyone in the campaign has ever seen.
