Casey, also known as Zack (ザック Zakku) in the Japanese version, is a character in the Story Mode of Razing Storm.
Appearance[]
Casey has short brown hair (one of four S.C.A.R. operatives to have visible hair, the other three operatives are Shin and Fortune from Alpha team, and Hunt from Bravo team. What makes Casey different from the other three is his haircut is not a buzz cut), brown facial hair and gray eyes.
Casey wears a gray uniform with silver plates on his pants and armor plates on the lower sleeves, and brown combat boots. There is a utility belt around his waist. As for equipment, he has a wearable on his lower left arm, a combat transmitter attached on his left ear and a earpiece on his right ear.
Overview[]
Casey is the leader of the Delta team and is also in charge of the Assault teams. Initially sent by HQ along with Delta and Assault teams to ensure that the President is secured after Paulo Guerra has seized the capital, he is concerned when Hunt, leader of the Bravo team, tells him that his team is told to make preparations to send in the satellite path finder (implying that HQ is planning to use the satellite laser cannon).
After the President is found inside a building under construction, Casey notices that the President's iris has been copied. He reports to HQ that they have found the President but before he could say about the latter's status, HQ sends a transmission to him about Paulo Guerra's plans. Since Paulo Guerra mentioned about the use of nuclear bombs supplied by the United States if his demands are not met, Casey inquires that part to HQ with concern but the latter merely says that the transmission is from Almada Penitentiary and the next mission is to take out Paulo Guerra. Casey complies and leads Delta and Assault teams to storm the Almada Penitentiary.
By the time Delta and Assault teams reached the spot where Paulo Guerra transmitted his message, Casey notes that Paulo Guerra is already gone. He transmits Paulo Guerra's message to HQ which replies that they have received reports implying that Paulo Guerra has entered the capital. When HQ states that Casey is to rendezvous with Bravo team, Casey argues with HQ about the use of the satellite laser cannon because of the danger to civilians. HQ responds by telling him that they have done everything in their power to limit the area of destruction and that S.C.A.R. operatives are not supposed to be concerned about civilians (this is seen in the Arcade Mode when the satellite laser cannon is fired at Guerra's base of operations which has hostages inside). Casey counters by telling HQ that Paulo Guerra could blackmail the U.S. about the attack being unprovoked. However, HQ interrupts him mid-sentence and orders him to regroup with Bravo team, causing Casey to condemn HQ as being idiots.
After meeting Hunt at Lixeira who briefs him about Bravo team's defense line, Casey assists Bravo team in defending the satellite path finder from two waves of enemy assault. After the second defense line is successfully set up, Casey and Hunt get a break from all the fighting. During the break, it is revealed that Casey is a widower who wants to join his wife in the afterlife. Soon after, another wave of enemy assault arrives. Casey and Hunt counterattack but while the outcome is not known (presumed to be successful with Bravo team escaping and meeting up with Alpha team), Casey is found by Alpha team after Bravo team is defeated by the enemy (with the satellite laser cannon been fired prior to that event). Alpha team's leader, King, tells Casey that Delta and Assault teams have been ordered to retreat while his team handles in rescuing Hunt. After hearing that Hunt has been taken hostage in Girasol Factory, Casey joins Alpha team in storming the factory. After defeating the enemies inside, they reached the lowermost section only to find Hunt being strapped to a missile and Guerra alive. After sniping the cellphone that Paulo Guerra tried to use to launch the nuclear missile, Casey and Alpha team proceeded to defeat Paulo Guerra's giant robot that ended with a sniper rifle bullet fired into the robot cockpit, killing him.
After Paulo Guerra is killed, Hunt informs King and Casey that the enemy has rigged him by placing the launch device inside his body and that it is active as long as his heart is still beating. Casey contacts HQ for advice on disarming the launch device but is informed by King that there is no time remaining. When King tries to shoot Hunt, Casey is extremely concerned about King being serious in shooting their partner. In the end, the launch device is safely disarmed and that all three of them safely made out of the factory alive. Hunt encourages Casey to live on just as she wished.
