Personal History:? Donner was raised in Conley, LA, a small town a few miles west of Alexandria. He graduated from Conley High School, received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA and returned to Conley to work for the Caledon Parish Sheriff’s Department. Donner was a deputy sheriff for seven years until the Bane Invasion.

AFS Training Record:? Donner finished AFS Basic and Advanced Training with high marks from his instructors, who have described him as "intelligent", "quick-thinking", "competent" and "reliable." He has qualified on all standard AFS-issue projectile, energy and propellent weapons, and possesses a high skill level in hand-to-hand combat.

AFS Service Record:? Donner’s first assignment after AFS Training was to the 22nd Receptive Combat Unit under Major Andrew R. Slocum. The 22nd was primarily involved in quick-and-heavy strikes at Bane personnel and fortifications in the Mires region of Arieki. Their operations were largely successful, resulting in a marked reduction in enemy troop concentration in the area. However, due to what is believed to be the treachery of one of its own officers, the 22nd was surprised, pinned down and nearly wiped out while on a routine patrol. The ten survivors – including Donner and Major Slocum – were taken to a Bane prison facility in Northwestern Mires.

Details of their year-long incarceration at the enemy facility are sketchy at best. What is known is that the remaining members of the 22nd organized a series of several attempted prison-breaks. The penultimate attempt resulted in the death of Major Slocum and the critical wounding of Lt. Paula Spinaker, the next officer in the chain of command. As a result, Donner found himself in the dubious position of being the ranking AFS soldier. Using an observed “hole” in the Bane security schedule, Donner managed to get himself, Lt. Spinaker and the other two survivors of the 22nd out of the prison. A few days later, the group was safely in the hands of the AFS.

Donner spent the better part of a month in physical therapy as a result of injuries received during the imprisonment and the subsequent escape attempts. The psychological ramifications ran deeper. It was a full six months before Donner was declared fit to return to duty.

Attached to his file is a recommendation by Lt. Spinaker for Donner to be promoted and re-assigned ASAP.

Psychological Profile: ? After being hospitalized subsequent to his capture and incarceration by the Bane, Donner was observed to be extremely withdrawn. Medical personnel had to sedate him to get him to sleep – otherwise, he could not sleep through the night without experiencing what Donner described as "vivid nightmares" about his ordeal in the Bane prison.

These symptoms continued long after Donner recovered from his physical injuries, and some of the psychoanalysts were hesitant to clear him for active duty despite Donner’s eagerness to get back to work. The original recommendation was to assign him an administrative post. However, one of the analysts – Dr. Justin Kang – disagreed strongly, arguing that not only was Donner fit for duty, but that his only hope for full recovery was to get back to it.

In a statement to AFS Command, Kang wrote:

“I am well aware of prevailing doubts about Sergeant Donner’s fitness for duty, as well as the need to err on the side of caution. However, given the circumstances under which Sergeant Donner and his comrades lived during their incarceration, the fact that the man hasn’t spent the last six months in the fetal position ought to count for something.

“I sure as hell don't want to confine him to a desk for the next year of his life on the off-chance that he "might" do something unexpected. Apparently, my colleagues haven’t noticed that there’s a war on. This man survived rigors that most of us will never face – not only survived, but did his duty to his men, the AFS, and the human race.

“If Donner wants to get back in the fight, by God, we should give him the chance. Consider that my professional opinion.”

Donner was subsequently cleared for duty.
