John Neil

AKA

BLADE

Special Skils: Sniper rifle, edged weapons

A commander of one of the city's elite SWAT teams, Blade is a highly regarded and decorated officer. Known for superb planning and accuracy with a rifle (he won a Silver Medal in the Olympics), he also has close links with the Homicide and narcotics divisions, as he worked with them for a time as an undercover operative--they needed an "unknown" face.

His family are Scottish immigrants, having lived in the "rough" areas of the city, he decided to do something about the rampant violence and crime. Winning a scholarship he took a psychology degree and joined the police force, where his superb marskmanship and calm nerves lead him to the SWAT team.

Due to his love of Oriental martial arts, and swords in particular, he earned the nickname "Blade". In one of the situations he dealt with for the narcotics squad, when the deal went sour, he had no firearms and had to resort to using one of the criminal's weapons: a flick knife. Blade took out 2 armed men with just a knife.
