Description[]
The ICA has kept close eyes on Stone since his released from prison, and, while he appears to have serious potential as agent, as yet to be recruited by the agency.
An innocent man with a criminal record, and a skillset worthy of a master assassin. Stone assumed a new identity, and turned to assassination as a means of survival.
- Hitman Sniper: The Shadows website
"Stone is a focused professional determined to deliver the best possible result. He is ice-cold under pressure, disciplined in action, but with a chaotic bent. His privileged upbringing constantly competes with who he had to become while incarcerated. Stone's approach is structured and methodical, but does nothing more than unfortunate accidents"

Stone's profile.
Stone spent his childhood in a protective cocoon of prestigious private schools where he excelled in athletics and language courses. When studying, he spent hours with his father and uncles, playing chess or hunting. Strange men would visit the house at all hours, speaking whispers, but Stone never questioned his father. It was not until the federal agents raided his father's construction offices and arrested every adult member of his family, that he understood just what his family was involved in. The investigation and subsequent trial revealed the depth of his father's criminal empire. Dragged into the spotlight along with criminal family, Stone was incarcerated in a series of trumped up charges. Only to finally be released five years later.
Stone is an ex-con, who was recently released from prison. He currently partners with Knight for assassination missions assigned by the ICA. After the mission in Siberia, Knight and Stone are officially recruited by the ICA in form of a sniper unit, Initiative 426 aka The Shadows.

- A party guest in Mendoza mentions Stone as an assassin for hire, and recommends him to another guest, warning him, "don't mention the nose."
