History: By his own account, the man who would one day become known as Flag-Smasher grew up the son of a Swiss diplomat, moving around the world on a regular basis, never having time to set down roots. One day, when he was a teenager, his father was killed in a terrorist's car bomb. This thoroughly shook him to his core, and he decided that striving to unite the world with words was a waste of effort. He would continue his father's work of uniting the world, but use the only language he felt the world would understand: violence.

It is not known whether he started the organization known as ULTIMATUM or if they recruited him, though the law enforcement and intelligence communities believe the latter. Either way, he was first seen leading a group of ULTIMATUM soldiers in an effort to blow up a number of federal buildings in New York City, where he was first opposed by Captain America and his sidekick, Bucky. Flag-Smasher was arrested and presumably deported.

He did not stay in prison for long, as he was most recently seen leading an ULTIMATUM attack on Captain America in Hong Kong. Though most of ULTIMATUM's soldiers were captured, Flag-Smasher escaped. Where he will turn up next is anyone's guess.

Other Abilities: Flag-Smasher is a skilled hand to hand combatant and a marksman with ranged weaponry. He has also been given training in demolitions.

Role-Playing Notes:

Flag-Smasher is a fanatic, genuinely believing the unification/anti-nationalist rhetoric he's constantly spouting. There is nothing he won't do to further his agenda, if he feels it will get his message out.

Design Notes:

1. "ULTIMATUM Rank" is built following the guidelines in Social Engineering: Pulling Rank, with ULTIMATUM treated as the equivalent of a 10-point Patron, with Rank repriced to 3 points per level; at Rank 6, Flag-Smasher can receive assistance from the rest of ULTIMATUM on an Assistance Roll of 12 or less. It does not affect his Status.
