As a commander for E.F.E.C., Antonio Maldini commanded the defense of the European Federation's uplink cluster in Istra, former Croatia on March 23, 2020 and the defense on the raid of the Rozenburg Refinery, Netherlands on April 4, 2020 (both against the terrorist organization named the ("Forgotten Army"). He also commanded the offensive on Copenhagen's Port on April 7, 2020 against the Joint Strike Force, which was used as an extraction point for a US black-ops team when trying to capture the European Federation's defence minister, François Pulain. He is one of Europe's foremost commanders proven by the fact that Amadou de Bankole consistently chose him to handle trouble spots around Europe.
Psychological Profile[]
Maldini's specialty is stealth. At GIS, his ability to occupy positions undetected by the enemy resulted in the nickname "The Invisible Man". He is in excellent physical condition and is exceptionally quick on his feet. His demeanor is calm and somewhat aloof. Although a solid team member, he is too introspective to be a truly effective commander. Off-duty, he is an amateur marathoner and has competed in races across Europe. Extremely intelligent and well-spoken.
