Who Are The
Nightstalkers?

2.
When I was flying around with my Special Ops team in black
helicopters, we wondered who the other guys flying around in them
were?
Just as they were wondering who we were.
Nightstalkers are the elite Special Ops unit that take care of the things
that go bump in the night; and worse. They correct the mistakes of
scientists. They’re also a little bit crazy and a long way outside the bell
curve, and not necessarily on the good end.
In essence they are The Unit for Warehouse 13.

Moms
Moms is tall, just short of six feet, with broad shoulders, but owning
surprisingly narrow hips and a nonexistent ass. She has short brown
hair with a tinge of premature gray streaking through it. One can picture
her riding with the Marlboro Man, owning a ranch somewhere in
Texas, except she’s out of his league and she’s not from Texas.
She came from one of those dark, desolate farmhouses you see on
the horizon while racing across Kansas on I-70. The kind of place
Truman Capote would only pay attention to if everyone inside had been
slaughtered.

5.
Nada
Nada wouldn’t trust a Girl Scout leading a nun across the road.
He’d figure there was an angle to it, and it isn’t a good one. In
Nada’s world, the Girl Scout will throw the nun under the bus, then
steal her rosary beads and hock them, using that—along with the
money from her cookie sales—to feed her gambling addiction.
Nada is a short, muscular fireplug of a man. He’s of Colombian
heritage, the dark skin on his face pocked from a childhood
sickness. Short gray hair rises straight out of his head as if even his
own hair is afraid of the dark thoughts that run through his brain.
He’s also the longest surviving Nightstalker which makes him a
legend among legends.

6.
Eagle
A bald, black man, the side of his head is scrolled with scars from an
IED in some other war in some other time. Underneath those scars? A
brain full of useless information; until the team needs it to save their
lives.
Did you know that London cab drivers have a larger hippocampus
on average than most other people, so they can memorize the maze of
streets upon which they ply their trade? Eagle has a hippocampus that
puts theirs to shame. That is why he has arcane knowledge such as the
Kobayashi Maru and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch as well his
technical skills. He’s also the best pilot Special Ops have ever
produced.

7.
The team’s Communications Man.
Sgt. Winthrop Carter no longer exists since the naming
ceremony that christened him Kirk, after the Kobayashi
Maru. But he has younger siblings back in Parthenon,
Arkansas, zip code 72666, the last three digits a dark,
unintended joke by the Postal Service that so aptly
applies to the place. Since their father blew himself up
cooking meth, they rely on him for support and perhaps
family is the best motivation of all.
Because sometimes you have to cheat to succeed.

8.
Roland
Roland, all six-four, two hundred
and forty pounds of trained killer,
shifted his feet uncomfortably like a
freshman at the senior dance, laptop in
one hand, the carrying handle of the
smoking machine gun in the other, the
nozzle of the flamer red hot in its
asbestos sheath on his hip. The livid
scar that ran along the right side of his
head from the temple to above and
behind his ear went red.

9.
Doc
Doc has four PhDs. He hates jumping out of perfectly good
airplanes with the Nightstalkers, but it’s the price he pays for
exploring edges of science most others only dream about. And he
has an agenda, a personal one.

10.
Mac
Son of a Texan businessman, but disowned by his family.
He sought refuge in the tough world of Special Operations.
Explosives are his area of expertise, defusing more IEDs in
one day than any other man ever had.
It might be considered bravery.
Or it might be considered a complicated attempt at
suicide.
