SABER ROCK
Saber Rock is an expert translator. He has a command of seven middle eastern languages and an undeniable charisma that makes him a brother to everyone he meets.
He is a young but battle hardened veteran when he is assigned to work with a small hand-picked team of US Marines deploying to Helmand Province, one of the most violent regions in Afghanistan. Their mission is to drive a wedge between the Taliban and the Afghan villagers. All of their communication would have to pass through Rock, making him a lynchpin for winning over the hearts and minds of the Afghan people.
