Emil is the largest man in the squad at six-feet two-inches and two hundred and ten pounds, but he’s also slowest when it comes to movement and brains. He’s from a small town in North Dakota that’s right along the Canadian border.
Emil is an only child to parents who never wanted children. They are alcoholics that were never home and ignored him when they were. Their care consisted of sharp punishment and harsh words whenever they were reminded of his presence.
This led him to grow up quietly, rarely saying a word, and failing in school because of it. Before joining the service, Emil found a job clearing unwanted remains at a local meat processor.
Margaret Mary is the love of Emil's life. She just doesn't know it.
Emil's father would sober up in the mornings with the paper. Emil was certain to stay away.
