About time I throw in a new character, and a bad guy too...

Once the segregation was over, and his service record soon to put him in prison, he fled to South America to work as a security contractor for various businesses. Once such business venture took him back to Africa to protect a company's interests from local warlords, when he found out some of the warlords were in possession of slave-labor diamond mines. He gathered together a force of other contractors & mercenaries, and led an assault on the nearest warlord, killing him and his forces, even child soldiers, and conquered a wealth of uncut diamonds, weapons, & slave labor. He would go on to take more territory and become a major black market dealer of blood diamonds, with an army to contest conventional forces of many African nations.
