Biography
, or "Spoon", was a member of a British commando unit holding the rank of private. In 2002, Spoon's unit was conducting a training exercise in the mountains of Scotland when they came upon a wounded member of British Special Forces, Captain Ryan. Spoon's team rendered medical assistance and tried to get to a safe point, but they were unable to radio anyone for an emergency evacuation. While the soldiers struggled to save Ryan's life, a werewolf attacked the group, nearly disembowling their commander, Sgt. Harry G. Wells. The commandos were fortunate to find a young woman named Megan, who was driving down a mountain road and offered them shelter. Sarge was brought back to Megan's house where Spoon's fellow soldier Private Cooper tended to his injuries.

Notes & Trivia
Following Spoon's demise, Harry G. Wells shouts to Private Cooper, "Where's Spoon?", to which he replies, "There is no spoon". This is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a line of dialogue featured in the 1999 science fiction film The Matrix.
