Synopsis of Codename: Knight Ranger:

United States Army Ranger, Captain Alexandre “Neal” Du Bois and his unit were on a mission in Afghanistan to deliver top secret intel to a Director Elijah Bishop, head of a clandestine organization called G.E.N.E.S.I.S., when they were ambushed by terrorist forces. The entire unit perished, but thanks to a rare genetic X-factor in Du Bois’ DNA and highly classified technology, a new body was bio-engineered for him, from what remained of the mutilated original. Du Bois’ new body was capable of amazing feats beyond the scope of any normal human. Unable to contact his family, for fear of retaliation from his enemies, he is forced to remain deceased to them and the rest of the world. Captain Du Bois was given a new civilian identity and became an operative for G.E.N.E.S.I.S. under the codename: Knight Ranger!
