Adam Smasher was born and raised in the streets of LA. Smasher had a tough childhood, if you could even call it that at all, from a young age he was exposed to gang culture and got caught up with the wrong crowd. He would associate himself with a crew that would take on small jobs, but these jobs gained them notoriety and people would start to respect Smasher and his gang of misfits. But this notoriety would gain the attention from rival gangs and without letting Smasher know, the leader would allow a much bigger gang to assume control of all members and assets. This gang would induct everyone but Smasher as he refused to leave his gang and his dignity. With this Smasher would have to flee, and flee he did, making his way half way across the world to a little European country called Norway. From here he would need to find a way to make money, and he ended up meeting just the man for what he desired, Ivan Risvold. He would join his ragtag heist crew and make his name known in this regions and potential regions to come.

Smasher would roll with Ivan's group for a short while, picking up jobs wherever he could. He would gain the same respect and notoriety he had when he was in California. But with power comes fear and jealousy. He was followed by some mercenaries and a fake meeting was staged, they did this in order to lure Smasher into an obvious trap but he wouldn't back out. What he hadn't anticipated were the sheer numbers the opposition had, being surrounded by at least twenty men, he drew his PKP and unloaded into the surrounding areas, dropping a good majority of them, while the rest took cover and begun opening fire on Smasher, he would take several shots to his plate and limbs, tearing flesh from bone in some cases, with one arm he would use the last of his strength to prop his gun up and unload on the few remaining enemies. Smasher had disposed of all of his pursuers but was critically wounded and dying very quickly.

Upon awaking he was met with several unknown faces, the main one being Pyotr Makarov the others being various doctors and surgeons. Pyotr gave Smasher two options die on the operating table, or live and fight for him. The answer was obvious, Smasher was not attached to a morale compass and so he readily accepted the mans offer, he would do whatever it took to live and to be strong. But Smasher would be changed, with various supplements keeping him alive some would also attempt to suppress his very aggressive attitude. Smasher would also be fitted with state of the art prosthesis and given the newest armor and weaponry to achieve his mission. The reconstruction of a governmental body in the region, and at the forefront of these operations would be Smasher's rescuer, a man Smasher wouldn't entirely trust but would fight for, Pyotr Makarov.
