Biography[]

Raid on Makarov's Safehouse[]

Scarecrow appeared in "Loose Ends", as part of the main strike team consisting of "Ghost", "Roach", "Ozone", and four randomly named Task Force 141 operatives. As the strike team made their way toward Makarov's safehouse they were ambushed by an Inner Circle garrison force using anti-personnel mines and mortars, killing four members of the team, with Roach barely surviving, Scarecrow along with Ghost and Ozone repelled the ambush.

As the four moved through the smoke to avoid the mortars, Sniper Team One ("Archer" and "Toad") provided sniper support from the ridge. After leaving the smoke and moving toward the safehouse, the four encountered two vehicles leaving through the main road, Archer and Toad then fired Javelin missiles destroying the vehicles.

The four then moved to breach and clear the safehouse, with Scarecrow placing himself at the basement door entrance. Scarecrow then tagged along with Roach clearing the upstairs and basement. After clearing and securing the safehouse, Ghost ordered Scarecrow to take photos of the estate, while Roach downloaded everything from the computer onto a DSM.

During the defense of the safehouse from Inner Circle forces, Scarecrow took it upon himself to guard the DSM.

After the DSM had finished its download, Scarecrow, Ghost, Roach, and (if still alive) Ozone attempted to make their way to the extraction point. While fighting to the exfil, Ozone covered the team from incoming troops approaching from behind while the rest of the team advanced. Eventually, Ozone was overwhelmed and killed, forcing the team to leave him and continue pushing forward. As Scarecrow, Ghost, and Roach neared the LZ, Scarecrow was suddenly hit by enemy mortar fire, killing him instantly, leaving Ghost and Roach to fight to the LZ themselves.
