Preston C. King

[Tungsten]

Background

Preston King was born on July 4th, 1992, to parents John Jacob King and Catherine Mary King. In his traditional, conservative household, patriotism was always held in high regard. That, in addition to being born on the same day as the country he loves most, drove him into service with the U. S. Army at the age of 18, serving as an 11C Indirect Fire Infantryman during the tail-end of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

Preston met his wife, Rachel, in 2016 when he was between tours of duty. Soon thereafter, they were married and welcomed their first child, James, into the world. As his child grew up, much of the time without a father, Preston began feeling a strong desire to leave the service and do something that would allow him to be at home to see more of his son's formative years. Having just signed a 5-year re-enlistment contract before meeting Rachel, he was contractually-committed to his duty until 2020.

Preston served during five tours of duty in Afghanistan during his time in service, finally being withdrawn during the 2020 withdraw under President Donald J. Trump and achieving the final rank of Sergeant. Following his separation, at the age of 28 and with 10 years of service, he received a disability rating for partial hearing loss as a result of his job assignment, which primarily involved firing mortars and other artillery. He used his GI Bill funding, in addition to his disability payments, to regularly attend Criminal Justice classes and received an Associates Degree at the age of 30. Preston's goals have not changed, however, and he still sought to serve his country in any possible way.

Despite his career change, one thing remains the same - his core values. Above all, Preston values Family. Second to that, he values God. Below God, he values Country. Lastly, he holds his duty and obligations of service above all, believing that a life of service is the duty of any god-fearing man.
 

Military Service

 

Preston served in the Army for a total of 12 years, renewing his contract twice and achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. His whole career was spent in service with the 87th Infantry Regiment, a component of the 10th Mountain Division. By the end of his career, he had worked his way from a 107mm mortar operator to the role of squad leader.

 

He served valiantly in various corners of Afghanistan, primarily in the vicinity of Bagram Air Base. He also saw service in Kabul, Helmand, and Kandahar throughout his five tours of duty. During his time in service, his unit was awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation for their continued deployments in Afghanistan. Individually, he earned the Good Conduct medal each time he was eligible for it - never once did he sustain a blemish on his impeccable service record. He was also awarded the Army Commendation Medal for his performance, which his superiors described as "exemplary".

 

After twelve years, he sought to spend more time with his family. Having seen war for far too long, he received an honorable discharge and ended his service in 2022.

 

 

Ties to White Supremacy

When Preston was in his late adolescent years, prior to his military service he became affiliated with a local group of white supremacists in his area. From around the age of 16 or 17, Preston began harboring extreme hateful feelings toward islamic cultures. Having taken the attacks on 9/11 personally, his tours of duty in Afghanistan became a sort of crusade against a religion he viewed as abhorrent to the American way of life. These feelings were solidified in a small tattoo, the Wolfsangel, on his shoulder blade. He has a few other tattoos with cryptic references to White Supremacy culture, such as the roman numeral symbols for the number "14".

To his surprise, he was able to find a few like-minded groups during his time in the military. This is where he learned to keep his beliefs secretive. He unknowingly participated in multiple hate crimes when back at home, serving as transportation for the men in the group who were performing such acts. Most of the time, however, he took out his frustrations in the theatre of war. More than once, he committed acts that some may have considered war crimes - however, due to the "fog of war", he was able to get away with everything. One such incident, however, haunts him and has caused him to consider whether his beliefs are true.

 

When Preston was serving during a deployment in the Kandahar region of Afghanistan, he allowed his hateful beliefs to cloud his better judgment. When he was alone one night on security duty, he shot and killed an unarmed twelve-year old Afghani boy. His beliefs had ultimately led him into a mindset where all Afghanis were the enemy, even if they were small children. When his fellow troops responded to the sound of gunfire, he fabricated a story that the boy had been carrying something that looked like a firearm - a story that, while technically true, was truly a lie by omission. In truth, Preston had murdered the boy and feared he would be dishonorably discharged or imprisoned if he told the unbridled truth. Despite his reservations and the nightmares accompanying the incident, he never performed any kind of deep examination of his feelings or his beliefs. 

 

After leaving the military, he connected with another local white supremacy group. In becoming a Correctional Officer, he began networking discretely with the Aryan Brotherhood (AB) operating within the San Andreas State Prison system. He currently serves as an asset when called upon, and performs various favors for his white compatriots.

Preston is a Correctional Officer and a White Supremacist. He keeps it under wraps,

but often disciplines non-white inmates more harshly.
