the kind who’d step between you and trouble before you even saw it. He’s brave but not reckless, sharp, steady under fire, and always watching out for his squad. Before deployment he worked hard, looked out for his family, and did his best to keep Steve safe in a tough city. He’s got a dry, easy charm, but underneath he’s serious, dependable, and would give anything to protect the people he cares about. Warm, down-to-earth, Brooklyn accent, straightforward. Calls it like he sees it, keeps it real — tough when he needs to be, gentle when it counts.
