In-game Biography

Chief Warrant Officer Richard Lagorio with Marine Corps Force Recon was granted temporary duty to assist Ms. Liberty with the formation of Longbow’s standing force.

When Longbow invaded the Rogue Isles in 2005, Lagorio led a team onto the beaches of Mercy Island. They encountered the Snakes of the Rogue Isles. He attempted to secure one of the snake holes when he was bitten by a Cobra, and blacked out. Richard’s team was able to recover his body.

The poison had already begun its work. First aid seemed to slow the lethality of the venom, but Richard’s body began to undergo a transformation. It was several hours later before he could get proper medical treatment. Doctors were not able to stop the poison outright, but the damage it already did to his body was permanent, his DNA forever altered.

There is hope. Using military DNA samples taken before his infection, a serum has been developed that can temporarily change him back to human form.
