Hailing from the United Kingdoms comes one of the most admire actors in the Action genre of films. Thomas Barker was born September 11th, 1980 in London and landed his first part in 1999 as a main character in the cult classic film "Chained" a movie made by a rookie director with a low budget became famous for being the pedestal for Thomas to showcase his talent as he played the role of a escaped convict "Clancy Irow" as he tries to outrun from a brutal manhunt.

His performance in that film far surpassed the rest of the cast and caught the attention of bigger studios and started moving up in the acting world. In this league he was forced into smaller roles, but the 110% performance he gave every film made him a very dependable guy to have on your cast. He broke into Hollywood in 2006 after his appearance in the film "Blood Canyon" a western action flick in which Thomas played as the main antagonist, a ruthless and skilled Gunslinger "Clancy Jones" Hes name being a reference to the character Thomas played in his first movie "Clancy Irow".

He went on to take parts in other films and continued to play the same character throughout "Blood canyon's" Trilogy. It was something he loved doing, he loved being apart of theses epic stories and wanted viewers to be immersed in the journey. It was his passion to entertain everyone and bring them a immersive experience that keeps them coming back.

By the time the ADVENT took over they saw him as a useful tool. He had a name that almost everyone knew and he was a person that almost every loved. They saw him as the perfect way to promote their propaganda in films as majority of the world would see any movie Thomas took part in and made him a simple offer, either you agree to take part in theses "special" projects and keep his free will or they would simply take that free will from him and make him do it.

He went along with it reluctantly and stared a few films before he finally got fed up. He made his last performance in the movie "Liberation" were he played the character "Commander Bates" the main antagonist that was the of the evil ZCOM organization (Parody of XCOM). The movie ends with the Aliens triumphing over the oppressive ZCOM organization and having Commander bates tried in court for the many war crimes committed by him and the ZCOM organization.

The film itself had very troubling imagery from Gunning down suspected alien spies to blowing up entire towns with civilians still in them to deal with the alien threat in them. It was then that Thomas finally snapped and wanted discontinue working for the ADVENT. He wanted to use his acting abilities to entertain, not to promote this propaganda that strikes fear into peoples hearts.

He begins to seek out XCOM in hopes that he can find a way to help out and maybe one day return the world to its former self and go back to making entertaining movies. While not exactly the soldier type, Thomas does have some experience with weaponry. During the time of filming "Blood canyon" Thomas took training courses to learn how to properly use a revolver so that he can project a more realistic performance when playing his role as the Ruthless gunslinger. He did the same for sniper rifles when he went on to play a role as a WW2 British marksman in 2008, although he has never handled the type of rifles XCOM has he still is capable of lining up a decent shot.

Hes not the best as a soldier but hes willing to lay down his life to end the alien's oppressive regime....And save cinema

Also having him sign soldier's gun seems to boost morale....
