Private

"We once had six guys, but Texas doesn't like talking about it much cause...well she feels responsible for it."

- Tigress

"Private" was the name of a character who was introduced in the Retribution's Legacy first issue Legacy, Part I: First Contact comic as a supporting character. He was also mentioned in the A Joker's Debt expansion by "Tigress" during a conversation with The Drifter.

Private is described as being a very silent soldier who didn't really talk much at all, thus making him a bit mysterious as to where he came from or his past. He was part of the United States Army until he was selected to become part of a unit within Task Force: STALKER by Field Commander "Nightstalker". In a different timeline, Nightstalker had lent Private to a US Army operation to investigate a disturbance in Colorado Peak where he ultimately died killing himself along with a large group of mysterious creatures.

Following this news of his death, Private's commanding officer Nightstalker felt like she was responsible for his death by sending him to assist the US Army in the investigation; his death had an impact on her and would linger in her thoughts.
