Channing Brown

Channing Brown was born into a Baptist family in 1930. While at the age of 11, Channing and his younger brother Closton (age 8) sneaked away into hunting a she-bear on Tusel Creek. Tragedy struck when Channing accidentally and fatally shot Closton. Channing carried his brother at the farm of Elisha and Merta Bahning for aid, but only for Closten to eventually expired. The death of his brother frightfully force Channing into lying the truth of killing Closton and fabricated a story that he went after his brother who was intent in hunting and too late to find him accidentally shooting himself, which Sheriff Arnold Anderson believed it and deduced that Closton's small size for carrying the rifle might have cause him to trip and shot himself. Channing never told the truth which regretfully haunted him throughout his life.

In 1947, Channing joined the Army and earned the rank of Sergeant. The possibility he enlisted in the military is due to his secret guilt that he kept himself hidden made him to care less about his own life. He later became one of the American forces to assist the UED during the abrupt invasion of the Chimera in Europe. Channing was in the Battle of Genoa, where he was assigned to a mixed unit of British and Italian soldiers gathering intelligence under the command of Lte. Dillsent-Thomas. He and the unit moved south along the docks until they reached the river. There, he witnessed local troops battling a contingent of Chimera forces, which Channing saw them for the first time. The unit assist in holding out against the enemy, but weren't able to last long. Channing then met a Austrian soldier named Eigner, who vaguely told him about the loss of life in his home country (and subtly the Chiemran conversion process). The unit were then attacked by troops of Chimera during the exchange fire, which Channing saw Eigner was severely wounded and then committing suicide from being taken alive. Channing and his unit retreated back towards the Palazzo Doria, where he was entrusted with a diplomatic pouch, and eventually became one of the few to escape Genoa alive. The experience dramatically troubled Channing.

Following In 1950, Channing later enlisted in Project Abraham in order to replace "[his] nightmares with worse nightmares" and to kept people safe from the Chimera. There he show no panic nor fear of being injected with the Chimeran Virus. Before his injection and knowing that he could possibly die, Channing wrote a letter to his mother about the truth of his brother's death and vaguely about the Chimeran threat. When injected Channing's internal organs liquefied causing him to vomit them up. He died within seconds of being injected.
