James Connacht

James Connacht (7 August 2001 - 13 November 2094) is an Acadian who played a significant role in establishing the current squad structure in Acadia and co-founded the first Acadian squad, the Acadian Snow Trolls.

Early Life
James Connacht was born on 7 August 2001 in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to a family of fishermen. He took part in the family business part time as he was growing and he got his Bachelor of Arts in Economics in University of British Columbia in 2022.

In order to support his family through the downturn of business in late 2021, Connacht returned to Prince Rupert and started working as a fisherman. As the temperature started dropping across the world, a majority of the people north of California started migrating south, any job opportunities Connacht had in sight went away, forcing him to remain a fisherman until his family decided to move south as well.

The Quebec War
The sudden American attack caught most of the Canadians still north of the border by surprise. On the day the war started, Connacht was in Vancouver and the American forces cut off all exits from the city before he had a chance to escape to Prince Rupert. In an encircled city with nowhere to go, Connacht signed up for the civilian militia along with his friends to help defend Vancouver.

During the three-month siege and under constant bombardment from the American side, Connacht learned how to survive in the harsh environment of a ruined city. After losing everyone he had known to American attacks, he started working alone, sniping the American attackers from a distance while evading any retaliatory attacks from the American side. Because of his over 200 confirmed kills, and at least 500 more as he claimed, he was awarded the Red Shield, the only award issued by the NFA Militia before it was dissolved shortly after the war ended.

After the war Connacht stayed in Vancouver and worked as a the head of security in the Vancouver Greenhouse Complex, protecting the city's only source of food from those unable to afford it. As the city's population started to decrease and the provincial government collapsed, however, funding for state infrastructure was cut and the greenhouse complex was communalized. Without a source of income, Connacht started sustaining himself by hunting and indoor farming, looking for a way out of the city.

Acadia
Connacht received a job offer from ANN shortly after she resigned from office and returned to her company, NAC Solutions.
