"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[src]

Sarge is a mercenary over a hundred years old that lost his family and home to the planet destroying Izel and her parasite raise, the Shrike. He leads his squad on a mission to wipe out Izel and the Shrike. Sarge and his team soon arrived on Earth, 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 before he betrayed them and Snowflake.

Biography

Sarge's Campaign

Seeking Revenge

"She took my family from me. I won't stop until she pays for that."
―Sarge's motivation[src]

Hundreds of years ago, Sarge's family and home were wiped out by Izel and her creations, the Shrike and swore revenge on her.[1] He started a campaign to hunt down and eliminate Izel and the Shrike 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 Izel, the Shrike, 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.[2]

Destruction of Chronyca-2

End of the line

Sarge and his crew leave Chronyca-2

"End of the line! Let's get out while we still can!"
―Sarge to his crew[src]

During their crusade, they tracked Izel to Chronyca-2 and took out her crew.[1] Unfortunately, they arrived too late as the Shrike had already began to destroy the planet. Izel managed to escape and Sarge's crew were forced to flee the planet before it’s ultimate destruction.[3]

Clearing a Path

"You're -- you're from S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Never heard of it."
Fox and Sarge[src]

Their next destination was Earth. 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.

Sarge calmly orders Fox to release Snowflake

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.[4]

Getting Supplies

Sarge and his crew

Sarge and his crew rob a convenience store

"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[src]

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.

Sarge Jaco and Pax

Sarge and his crew discuss their plan

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.

Sarge and Pax

Sarge and Pax talk about a life on Earth

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.[3]

Robbery of Charmont Jewelers

Window of Opportunity 8

Sarge talking with Dana

"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[src]

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.

Robbery of Charmont Jewelers

Sarge and his crew looking for PEGs

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.

Coulson Rings a Bell

Sarge troubled by the name "Phil Coulson"

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.[3]

Testing the weapon

Sarge and Jaco testing out their weapon

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.[5]

Assassination of Harold Simcoe

Sarge corners Simcoe

Sarge about to kill Harold Simcoe

"I've been looking all over for you"
―Sarge[src]

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.[6]

Attack on Deke Shaw

Shaw reunites with Coulson

Sarge meets 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[src]

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 attacked by Sarge

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 with Jaco and Pax

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 Hunting Shaw

Sarge hunting Deke Shaw

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.

Sarge captures May

Sarge captures Melinda May

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.[6]

Capture of Melinda May

Sarge with the captured 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[src]

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 talks with May

Sarge talking with Melinda May

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 interrogates May

Sarge interrogating Melinda May

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.

Sarge explains his mission

Sarge explains his mission

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 Shrike could make their host go nuclear if left unchecked. At this point, May realized that Sarge was trying to stop the Shrike 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 talks about the Creator

Sarge talks about the Creator

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.

Sarge is captured by May

Sarge is captured by Melinda May

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.[2]

Bargaining with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I'm prepared to protect my people from whatever's coming."
"You're people? They keep looking at me. Might want to get used to that."
"And why's that?"
"Because by the end of the day, I'll be the one in charge."
―Sarge and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]

Arriving at the Lighthouse, Sarge and Snowflake were taken to its lower levels be Melinda May. Stopping on a floor, May took Sarge with her and ordered the "chatterbox" to be taken to the holding cells. Before leaving with May, Sarge told Snowflake no to let the fire go out. On their way to the control room, Sarge noticed all the looks the agents were giving him and smiled.

When the two reached the control room, Sarge was met with awkward tension from the agents present. Breaking the silence, Sarge mocked May's affection for Phil Coulson and questioned the others' relation to him. Daisy Johnson, feeling overwhelmed by Sarge's appearance, left. Sarge asked if she had "daddy issues" before Deke Shaw called him a "tool" and followed Johnson.

After Sarge noted the emotion in the room, Alphonso Mackenzie ordered Sarge share what he knows. Sarge had May tell them what he told her about the Shrike and their creator. When they started to discuss the Shrike's hosts, he found out they removed his blade from Harold Simcoe's body too soon and put Keller's death on them. Yo-Yo Rodriguez threatened Sarge in retaliation before Mackenzie calmed her down. Realizing Mackenzie was in charge, Sarge urged him to release him to prevent everyone's deaths, the Director refused and ordered Sarge to be locked up.

Mackenzie began to interrogate Sarge, but he refused to give anything up, claiming Mackenzie wasn't ready. Mackenzie demanded Sarge's actual name, but the mercenary didn't care what he called him. Mackenzie brought up Fox and how he murdered him, but Sarge defended his actions. Mackenzie then brought up Chronyca-2's destruction, only for Sarge to again urge him to let him go to stop the Shrike's creator. Mackenzie wasn't buying it and was determined to protect his people from Sarge and the Shrike's creator. Sarge took note of all the agents staring at him and told Mackenzie to get used to it as he he believed he'll be in charge by the end of the day.

Later, Trevor Khan took Sarge to Mackenzie's office, where Sarge met the holographic image of Coulson. Sarge studied the hologram before Mackenzie entered the room. Sarge wasn't phased by his double's hologram and told Mackenzie he was going to enjoy taking him down. Mackenzie started talking about Coulson's morals and compared them to Sarge's. Mackenzie revealed that Jaco was ill and asked Sarge to cooperate with them so Jaco can receive medical treatment. Sarge seemed not to care and simply told Mackenzie that maybe Jaco's time had come.

Sarge was taken back to his cell, where Mackenzie later visited him again. Sarge continued to believe he will be free soon, only for Mackenzie to reveal that Jaco's was taken out when he tried to escape. Sarge still didn't seem concerned and listened as Mackenzie told him that they had captured two Shrike using his tracker. Sarge sarcastically congratulated Mackenzie and smiled to himself.

When the agents encountered difficulties with the Shrike on Zephyr One, Mackenzie had Sarge brought up to the control room for assistance. He mocked their mission and warned them of the upcoming war. Mackenzie demanded to know what the Shrike were up to, to which Sarge revealed the destruction of the Zephyr. Furious, Mackenzie pushed Sarge up against the wall and demanded to know how to stop them. Sarge deemed he already showed them by stabbing his blae into the hosts body, but claimed it was far to late because of their desire to save the hosts.

Hearing from May that they lost an agent and the hosts, Sarge urged them not to jettison the Containment Module containing them or else they will feed off the life of Earth. Mackenzie begged Sarge to tell them what to do, only for Sarge to make demands; his crew and his truck. Giving in, Mackenzie agreed and Sarge told them that could will stop them. After they succeeded in destroying the two Shrike, everyone reluctantly turned to Sarge for guidance on what to do next, much to the mercenary's glee.[7]
