Biography
The town Kimmel is from- the hilariously-named Flin Flon- is tiny and remote, and Kimmel's small-town generosity reflects that. His father is an ex-survivalist turned husband and taught Kimmel how to be self-sufficient in just about every way. Unfortunately, that self-sufficiency included displays of affection, and despite love from countless other sources, his father's distance remains a blight on Kimmel's life. He grows up, graduates, and has no particular calling. Like every other lost soul, he enlists in the Canadian Armed Forces.

The strict, no-fun atmosphere clashed with Kimmel's lackadaisical nature and he regards the experience as being 'the most belly-dragging awful period of my life.' After an unsuccessful run as a private and nothing more, Kimmel finished up his tour and returned home to the disappointment of his father.

Around the time Gecko arrived in town, the tension between Kimmel and his father was at a breaking point. His parents were suddenly and explosively divorcing, and his father aimed to move onto a plot of land somewhere north. Alone until death, unless Kimmel wanted to join him. Struggling with the impossible decision, wanting to please everyone but instead pleasing no one, Kimmel's nerves were frayed.

One night at the local bar, he was approached by a very pleasant, smooth-talking American. The man offered immediate military contract work right there in town, and Kimmel jumped at the chance. In a classic case of not reading the fine print, he had no idea how screwed he was until it was much too late.

The American was a captain in General Crozier's army. He and hundreds of others had been tasked with gathering as many new recruits as possible. Sensing a lot of potential with Kimmel, he ordered him to participate in a Kill-Off along with Gecko, who was to be kept completely in the dark about Kimmel's new employment. Using his natural charm, he convinces Gecko to participate.
