Prelude to Conflict

Born in rural England, Ellis possessed an unyielding spirit from an early age. Intrigued by aviation, he joined the Royal Air Force, honing his skills as a helicopter pilot. However, his true calling lay elsewhere, in the adrenaline-pumping world of mercenary combat.

Gunship Pilot

After Rhodesia, Ellis joined Executive Outcomes, a private military company operating in Africa. It was there that he transitioned to gunship pilot, a role that would define his future. Flying the deadly Mi-24 Hind helicopter, he became a formidable force in the African conflicts of the 1990s.
