[edit] Biography
Captain Mitchells was one of Captain Rachel Parker's right hand men. On July 14, 1951, Parker was leading the convoy that contained the British 'secret weapon' (an Angel). They were ambushed in Manchester on their way to the exchange with the Americans in York, and Parker and her squad were captured uninfected. Mitchells led a company tasked with rescuing the convoy (or at least its Angel cargo), which was stranded on the west side of Manchester. For hours they fought their way through the infested city against the Chimera, who wanted the convoy just as much as the British. Mitchells had been pinned down near the convoy by Stalkers, making immediate air support of any kind impossible. Parker had just been rescued from Grimsby and ordered as many soldiers as possible to help recover the convoy's cargo and reinforce Mitchells. Mitchells had been fighting a losing battle for most of the morning, but finally made it to the Angel container site - however, the Chimera got to it first. With the help of Sergeant Nathan Hale, they managed to take the site and hold off a counterattack from a squad of Hybrids augmented by a Stalker. After they secured the area, Mitchells radioed Parker and reported their success. She had the container airlifted to Northern Command.
Mitchells was then called to help take out a Chimeran tunnel nexus in Nottingham, where the Chimera were digging something out of the ground. Mitchells helped Lieutenant Steven Cartwright take control of the dig site and afterward they were all sent back to Southern Command for a well earned rest.
When Southern Command was attacked, Mitchells, his squad, and Lieutenant Cartwright were at the northern entrance of Southern Command, protecting it from Chimera forces in order to provide the VTOL transports in the hangar some time to escape. He and his squad were still fighting when Cartwright and Hale escaped Southern Command in a Stalker. Mitchells and his men fought off the last of the Chimera and escaped on the last VTOL to a makeshift camp in Cardiff.
It is unknown whether Mitchells led his squad in the assault on the Tower in London. When he was in Bristol (his last appearance in the game) shortly before the attack, he had a visible leg wound, so he may have recuperated from his injury while the assault took place. His fate is unknown, but he mostly likely survived.
[edit] Personality
Although he is seen throughout the game, Mitchells' personality is not often revealed. At times he appears to be a little sarcastic and has a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to leading his men. He is well headed in battle and brings a calmness when in a dangerous situation. He is a skilled commander, especially when attacking enemies. When attacking a Chimeran area, he usually remarks "make the place bloody sterile". Mitchells cares for his men, and the first thing he does after every victory is seeing to the wellbeing of those under his command.
[edit] Appearance
Mitchells wears a standard British army uniform and carries different pieces of equipment like grenades and bullets. He carries a large radio on his back and uses an M5A2 Folsom Carbine. He has no distinct facial features, as he is made from a generic British soldier model and looks like most of the other soldiers.
[edit] Trivia
- Aside from a cutscene at the end of the Manchester level, he does not properly appear in the game, as he looks just like a normal British soldier.
- Captain Mitchells voice changes many times, e.g. in the first Manchester level, (the path of "Least Resistance") when he says "you better hurry, the Chimera want this as much as we do", he sounds almost like Steven Cartwright, but in the third level ("Outgunned") he sounds much older, probably in his 40's. However, in the final cutscene of Manchester when he says "Mitchell to command, site secure, all stalkers down. We've got your convoy, how about getting us a sodding medic!" he sounds early like he's in his early 30's.
