Mason Grant, a U.S. Marine Corps, MOS 0351 Infantry Assaultman from Mobile, Alabama, was decorated for valor during the Soltan Invasion (2000), where he famously led a 6-man squad in holding the line against a Soltan war machine in the ruins of Pittsburgh—using nothing more than scavenged incendiary devices and a damaged flamethrower.

​

After the war, Grant continued to serve in various black-ops roles, specializing in breach-and-burn tactics, asset denial, and bunker clearing. After testifying against a defense contractor accused of treasonous tech transfers, Grant was dishonorably discharged under fabricated charges and blacklisted from employment.

​

Bitter but unbroken, Grant was recruited in 2015 by the Military Order of Patriots, where he took on the callsign “Sergeant Hellfire”—a nod to his scorched-earth combat style and unshakable patriotism.

​

Sergeant Hellfire is fanatically loyal to General Patrick and unwaveringly committed to Colonel Hamilton. Government media portray him as a ruthless, out-of-control arsonist. Within the Order, however, he is seen as a necessary force of retribution—“the fire that purifies.” His burning armor and American flag patch have become a psychological icon within the MOP—used in propaganda posters with the slogan: “Let the traitors feel the heat of justice.”

​

One of his most famous media quotes is:

“The Constitution wasn’t written in pencil so it could be erased. It was written in ink—and if need be, I’ll burn that message into the heart of every traitor.”

​

Recently, Sergeant Hellfire was involved in such MOP operations as:

• Operation Crimson Fog

  • Sergeant Hellfire led a distraction and suppression team during a blacksite extraction in Colorado. Used advanced Soltan flame arcs to disable perimeter drones and force an enemy evac.

• Civilian Evac Incident

  • During a raid in rural Texas, Hellfire deliberately shielded a group of civilians from crossfire using his armor and directed flame walls to block enemy snipers—earning unexpected praise even from opposition forces.

​​

Currently, Sergeant Hellfire has been assigned to support Colonel Hamilton directly in all offensive operations. He is to be deployed as primary breach agent in Alpha-Seven’s rotation.
