Strike Back

Sergeant Samuel Wyatt is a JSOC operative working undercover in Libya to track Omar Idrisi who is recruited to Section 20 for his knowledge of Idrisi's operations. He has a reputation for working alone and often encounters friction with other members of Section 20. American intelligence agencies refuse to work with him because of his abrasive personality and insubordinate streak, and it is implied that a failed mission saw him disavowed after it resulted in civilian casualties. Revolution reveals that he was the only survivor of Task Force 18, a Special Forces unit in Iraq that was ambushed in a roadside attack. Believing that locals were harbouring the insurgents responsible, the survivors started to massacre them and only stopped when Wyatt turned his weapon on his squadmates. With no-one to corroborate his story, Wyatt was disavowed and reassigned to high-risk assignments in the hopes that he would be killed before the massacre could be revealed. He briefly retires during the events of Revolution, but finds himself unable to stay out of the field and rejoins the team. He later admits that he struggled to adjust to civilian life as a found the local supermarket more terrifying than any war zone.
