Sarge

"I've been to a lot of worlds. Some good, some garbage. But I've never been to one where people recognize my face."

- Sarge to Melinda May

Sarge is a military leader over a hundred years old that leads his mercenary squad on a mission to wipe out the Shrike, a race of parasitic creatures, that infect a number of people on a planet before they destroy it. Sarge and his team soon arrived on Earth with the same goal, but came into conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D., who recognized him as Phil Coulson. After being captured, S.H.I.E.L.D. was forced to work with Sarge and his crew to stop the Shrike.

Sarge's Campaign
"End of the line! Let's get out while we still can!"

- Sarge to his crew

Hundreds of years ago, Sarge started a campaign to hunt down and eliminate all the Shrikes and formed a crew of space mercenaries from different worlds to help him with his task in traveling across the universe to different planets and kill the Shrikes and anybody infected by them. Some of these planets traveled at the speed of light, which allowed Sarge to live for over a hundred years. During their space crusade, they failed to stop the Shrikes on Chronyca-2 and Sarge and his crew were forced to escape the planet before it’s ultimate destruction.

Clearing a Path
"You're -- you're from S.H.I.E.L.D." "Never heard of it."

- Fox and Sarge

Sarge's subordinates: Snowflake, Jaco, and Pax, successfully made it through the portal to Earth and mourned the death of their fellow teammate, Tinker, who died due to crossing an unstable portal through a concrete wall. After finding out that Sarge would be arriving at the same place where the Museum of Natural History was built, they decided to blow it up so that Sarge could easily pass through without any issues. However, as they were about to finish the task, S.H.I.E.L.D. interfered. Snowflake was sent to distract them while the other mercenaries finished the job. When the team successfully blew up the museum, the portal opened. Sarge drove his truck and smashed through several S.H.I.E.L.D. SUVs before exiting out through the back of the truck and confronted Fox, demanding him to release Snowflake. Fox hesitated, believing he was Phil Coulson, and told him he is from S.H.I.E.L.D. Having no qualms, he executed Fox and proclaimed that he never heard of S.H.I.E.L.D., before leaving with Snowflake.

Getting Supplies
"You can tell a lot about a world by its currency. What have we got?" "Paper. With faces on it." "Great. One of those."

- Sarge and Pax In need of supplies, the four robbed a convenience store in Ohio. While Pax held the manager at gunpoint, Sarge and the others took what they found interesting. After tasting a smoothie, Sarge ordered to know what kind of currency Earth and was unimpressed when Pax revealed it as "paper with faces on it". Noticing the owner eyeing his shot-gun, Sarge advised against it and tested it out. Seeing that the inhabitants still used combustion, Sarge deduced that the world will be "child's play" and ordered his crew to vanish. Before leaving, Sarge took the radio. As they headed to Sarge's Truck, Sarge handed Pax the shot-gun. They then drove off and activated the truck's camouflage. Arriving at a shipping yard, Sarge told Pax to "cope" with Jaco breathing in his home's atmosphere. Snowflake then showed Sarge a magazine of what the inhabitants wear to blend in. However, to Sarge's dismay, they learned that they had no more PEGs to power an energy cannon because they were on Tinker when he tried crossing over. Things started to heat up, as Pax blamed Sarge for Tinker's death, believing they all should've been with Sarge in his truck. Sarge noted if they had done that, they'd all be trapped in the museum. After the disagreement sided, Jaco found a jewelry store in which they could use to find the crystals, pleasing Sarge. Sarge questioned if Pax was up to securing their exit, but his crewmate assured he was and explained that his friend's death got to him. Sarge simply told Pax that dying is what friends are for. He and Pax then scouted the junkyard, with Sarge noting that it was nice to breath air again. When Sarge confirmed no interference, Pax tried to convince him to settle down on Earth before it's destroyed. Sarge disagreed and the two ran into a security guard. Pax tried to talk their way out, to no avail. Sarge then attempts to shoot him just as he and Pax disappear. As they set up their robbery plan, he ordered Jaco to keep an eye on Pax and began considering replacing him. Sarge then sprayed a wall with red paint in the shape of a portal.

Robbery of Charmont Jewelers
"Right now, you're sizing me up, wondering how much paper money a guy like me has to spend. Could be a big sale. Your heart rate goes up a little. Can you feel it?" "We always do our best to meet our customers' needs." "Oh, don't worry about me. I'll be leaving satisfied. Worry about you, your heart rate, because it's about to go nuts when we rob this place."

- Sarge and Dana

While Jaco remained in the truck, Sarge led Pax and Snowflake into robbing Charmont Jewelers. He spoke with the manager Dana about their merchandise and learned about their vault. Sarge then revealed he and his crew were going to rob them and advised Dana to not do anything stupid. Sarge then watched as Snowflake killed two guards, noting that was more violent then he wanted. Noticing Dana triggered the silent alarm, he remarked that she did something heroic and the three led her to the vault. Dana got them into the vault as Pax sealed them in. Sarge ordered Snowflake not to kill Dana and sprayed another red portal entrance on the wall. It opened to the truck where Jaco was waiting. The four started looking for PEGs, but couldn't find any. Noticing S.H.I.E.L.D. was trying to get in, Sarge tried to get information out of "Da-Na", who finally revealed that the crystals they were looking for were in the bottom shelf. While the others grabbed the rest, Sarge went back into the truck to examine the crystal. Sarge headed outside to test the cannon with the crystals they had. However, just as he was about too, he noticed the Dana escaping and returned to find Jaco and Snowflake fighting S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Melinda May, becoming annoyed by their incompetence. When she said the name Coulson, it confused Sarge just as Snowflake slides the portal underneath May and he closes it so they can escape. As they drove off, Jaco questioned Sarge about "Coulson," only for him to say that it rings a bell. Having used all of the Crystals that they had stolen from Charmont Jewelers, the crew were able to power up their guns, as Jaco joined Sarge in stepping back outside to test whether or not they had been successful. Looking up, Jaco noted that Earth had some nice stars, although Sarge insisted he had seen better throughout the universe. As Sarge fired a blast of energy into the skies, Jaco questioned how many targets there would be, as he looked on his scanner and found multiple targets all across the world, before Sarge had then told him to go make a mess as they departed together.

Assassination of Harold Simcoe
"I've been looking all over for you"

- Sarge

Having begun tracking the Shrikes, Sarge and his crew headed to Reno to kill Harold Simcoe in South Sioux City. Sarge and Snowflake waited as Jaco and Pax forced Simcoe into an alleyway. Sarge stepped out and pinned Simcoe against the wall, noting that they had been looking all over for him. Sarge drew a blade and stabbed Simcoe in the chest, killing the Shrike hidden inside his chest and causing crystals to shoot out of Simcoe's body. Once Simcoe was dead, Sarge then turned to Jaco as he questioned who their next target was going to be.

Attack on Deke Shaw
"You're a real talker, but you're not from here and you shouldn't be here, so I got to take you and make you sing."

- Sarge to Deke Shaw

Sarge and his crew went after their next target, Deke Shaw, at a startup company. Thy passed by a blogger on their way in. Sarge talked with Shaw's secretary Lindsay and insisted he had an appointment with him and waited in the conference room. When Shaw finally arrived, Sarge greeted him like he did Harold Simcoe before pulling out his knife. After Shaw cheerfully referred to him as Coulson, Sarge halted his attack on Shaw to learn more about Coulson. Sarge agreed with what Shaw was talking about with his company. Shaw started asking questions to Coulson's survival, but Sarge told him he had no idea, but went along with his idea of them wiping his memory. Sarge then requested Shaw tell him what he knows. Shaw talked about all his heroism, but Sarge told him he had no memory of it. When Shaw asked how his grandparents were, Sarge talked about them as if they were on their deathbed. Shaw continued to ask questions about Melinda May not leaving his side and how "Agent Doug" was, but eventually Sarge knew the jig was up and grabbed Shaw's arm as he tried to flee. He pointed the knife and Shaw's throat and told him he was coming with him because he was a talker. Shaw acted quickly and stabbed Sarge's left hand and ran off, with Sarge telling him he was already dead. Sarge walked up to Jaco and Pax as the whole building was in a panic after Pax killed a security guard, while he bandaged his hand. Jaco informed Sarge that Shaw's signal was different from the others and listened as he contemplated normality and strangeness. Sarge told the duo that Shaw was a talker and split off to find him. Sarge followed Shaw to a workstation and told him that there was no use hiding when he's hunted his kind his whole life. When Sarge referred to himself as his "old friend Coulson", Shaw angrily told him he wasn't Phil Coulson. Sarge followed the sound of Shaw's voice as he ranted, only to be fooled by a speaker. Sarge was then temporarily blinded when S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Trevor Khan arrived to save Shaw and throw flash grenade at him. After Sarge recovered, he regrouped with Snowflake and had May at gunpoint before she could take Snowflake captive. Sarge stopped Snowflake from killing May and told the angry S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that she was coming with them. The duo got their captive to the truck while Jaco and Pax were captured. Snowflake informed Sarge they were in the clear as he sat in the back with the dizzy May.

Capture of Melinda May
"The Shrike are a cancer. I'm going to make sure this is the last planet they ever infect." "How do you plan to do that?" "To stop the spread, you cut off the limb. When their creator arrives, I'm going to burn it all down."

- Sarge and Melinda May

Feeling as though Melinda May had "violent tendencies", Sarge drugged her to keep her docile. As May woke up from a dream, Sarge greeted her. When Snowflake parked the truck in an abandoned junkyard, Sarge instructed her to "bag and gag" a target that was close. Sarge reminded her that with Jaco and Pax captives of S.H.I.E.L.D., she was all she had left. Snowflake vowed not to let Sarge down a left the truck. After Snowflake was gone, Sarge told the imprisoned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that he was going to sway her to join his crew.

Sarge started examining his weapons, as May glared at him. Seeing May's fury, Sarge compared her to Snowflake before walking over to her with a case full of his Shrike knives. He talked about all the worlds he had been on, but was amazed to find himself on a world where the inhabitants recognized his face. He pulled out one of his knives and detected that May's hatred towards him outweighed everyone else's. He then sat across from her.

Sarge questioned May on Phil Coulson's death and asked if she had killed him. Realizing that May was actually in love with Coulson, Sarge mocked his death. May then promised to make Sarge's death hurt, but the mercenary was unfazed and resumed his questions. Sarge asked if Coulson was a Synth or Shapeshifter, but didn't believe May that Coulson wasn't an impostor. Sarge than listened as May listed everything she knew about Coulson, but was called away as Snowflake reported back with their target. Sarg then bagged May to bring her to Snowflake.

Arriving at their destination, Sarge took the bag off May and said she was to kill the man restrained in front of her. Sarge pulled a Shrike knife from his pocket and instructed May to aim for his rib cage. May tried to calm the hostage down, before Sarge executed him. Insuring May will be fine, Sarge and Snowflake left her in the room with a Shrike knife and the keys to her cuffs. After May had successfully killed the Shrike within the man, Sarge and Snowflake came back in and congratulated her.

Bringing May back to his truck, Sarge started to explain what the Shrikes were and what their mission is. Sarge told the agent that the Shrokes could make their host go nuclear if left unchecked. At this point, May realized that Sarge was trying to stop the Shrikes and the reason they went after Deke Shaw was because he was detected on their scanner as something that was foreign to Earth. Sarge asked what Shaw was, to which May responded as "exhausting".

Sarge then explained Pachakutiq and how it will mean the death of everything. Sarge then went on about the Shrikes' creator and how he's been hunting it for over 100 years because of being to planets that traveled at lightspeed. After May dozzed off for a moment, she asked Sarge to repeat the last thing he said. He informed her that he was going to stop the Shrike and their creator by burning the world down when he got here.

Relieving Snowflake of driving duty, Sarge was caught off guard when May tried to strangle him with her cuffs. Sarge tried to loosen May's grip by swerving the truck before hitting the brakes, causing May to let go. Sarge and May got into a fight, of which it looked like May was winning, before Sarge turned the tide and tried to strangle her. As he mocked her lover, May got loose and unleashed all her fury on Sarge, knocking him unconscious. May then cuffed Sarge to the door and took him and Snowflake back to the Lighthouse.
