 Biography 

According to the intelligence that was gathered by Colonel Thomas Greyarch, Brad Sheridan graduated from Fort Bragg as a Green Beret in the United States Army by serving as a paratrooper in the 10th Special Forces Group. It is mentioned that he even served with Deveraux at one point in his career. He has seen extensive combat during the War on Terror Campaign. In 2014 He was stationed in Afghanistan where he was apart of a convoy detachment. His unit hit an IED ambush, he was the only one in his unit that survived the attack. He sustained serious injury to his left eye.

After being treated for a year, he fully recovered despite losing his left eye. He was awarded the Purple Heart by the US President for his sacrifice and invaluable intelligence of IED and OPFOR ambushes that saved the lives of many US soldiers in later transport operations.

Later, he was involved with the Shadow Elite Group that supported him fincially after he was discharged. With his military experience and strategy, the group of shadowy figures saw an opportunity to make him the new CEO of the Corporation.

After achieving the CEO position, Sheridan started altering the Corporation, and started using it as his own private organization, he acquired his own army of mercenaries and a stockpile of advanced weaponry. He started conducting illegal arms sales and operations aswell as conducted "gun for hire" contracts with the US Governments enemies along with masterminding major drug operations in Los Sacrios which resulted in Sheridan colluding with ruthless Los Sacrian dictator Presedente Alvarez Estavan.

 Escalation 

After establishing corporate assets in Los Sacrios, Sheridan started controlling the drug destribution of Los Sacrios, the US Government started investigating it without knowledge of Sheridan's involvement. The US Goverment also spotted a team of Sheridan's mercenaries in Los Sacrios during the prior investigation. After a survillance operation the Central Intelligence Agency spotted strange shipping conex's at the Port of Los Sacrios, being guarded by the armed guards. Soon after the agency authorized a raid on the compound which was led by Deveraux. After the assault on the compound and the team discovering ED-5 Phoenix blistering agent on the property, Sheridan was aware of a possible leak within his organization. This resulted in him recruiting a special Task Force consisting of former cutthroat CIA interrogators and intelligence officers to profile, interrogate and potientally eliminate anybody they deem suspious. The Task Force had strict orders to directly report to Sheridan of any instances or intelligence of the situation.

Sheridan demanded that his men be armed and ready on a moments notice, in case of any resistance of captured informants working for the US Government. This was especially requested during the Corporations Exclusive Military Technology Expo, an event that would showcase some of Serpent Defense Corporations new prototype technology such as aircrafts, vehicles, drones, small arms and next generation technology. Secretly, the main purpose of the Expo was for Sheridan to meet his co-conspirators during the event in a heavily guarded obsceure area within Annex-9 during the event.

After the Expo is interupted by an explosion triggered by Deveraux, Sheridan is forced to intercept him. The conspirators flee and are never seen in Dubai again. Sheridan's mercenaries relentlessly hunt down Deveraux, but proves unsuccessful. He later gives the order for is his personal bodyguard and assassin Dominique Keller to brutally execute Citrine Bissette in front of Deveraux. The death of Bissette is an exclamation of Sheridan's inhumane and brutal nature.

Death

Sheridan accessed the rooftop of Annex-9 with Deveraux in pursuit of him. Sheridan and the remainder of his men primed traps and explosives throughout the rooftop. With Deveraux accessing the rooftop Sheridan attempted to make a hasty escape towards a transport helicopter but Deveraux destroyed the aircraft in mid-air. Sheridan trapped on the roof, he accessed the communications tower connected to the roof and ambushed him. Sheridan and Deveraux faced off in a hard-boiled firefight. Sheridan was shot multiple times by Deveraux and dropped the authentic ''VPX harddrive. Deveraux acquired it but Sheridan managed to build up enough energy to taunt Deveraux one last time.'' He also quickly triggered the rigged explosives. Sheridan bled out from multiple gunshot wounds. After the events of Shadow Elite: Glass Jungle, Sheridan's body was recovered and shipped back to the United States where a ceremonial funeral was held for his military service despite his treason. The Purple Heart he was awarded was buried with him.
