Modern Combat 5: Blackout[]

Little is known of Bancroft's journey to the top of the world's biggest security firm. Some assume that he has powerful political connections, while others guess that his success was due to a combination of skill and sacrifice.

Everett Saunders, under the alias of Kirk Bancroft, is now the CEO of Gilman Security. Known for his reclusive nature, he has a permanent team of advisers and confidants around him -- referred to throughout the company as the Gilman Circle.

The Storm[]

Saunders is first mentioned by Roux. She states that she has a strong relationship with someone called Kirk Bancroft.

Defense[]

Later, Roux plays a record of a call between Saunders and Jonathan Taylor (Bull) in which it is revealed that Saunders and Gilman Security masterminded the WLA attacks in Venice and Tokyo, and that Taylor was on Saunder's payroll. Taylor asks for his money and arranges a meeting with Saunders on a construction site in Tokyo. Roux sends Phoenix to spy on the meeting, where Saunders directs Taylor to orchestrate another terrorist attack in Tokyo and link it to the WLA; after Saunders leaves, Roux orders Phoenix to assassinate Taylor.

Death[]

Warning: spoiler below. Move cursor to read the text.
In the final mission of the campaign, Phoenix and Tukura are sent by Roux to infiltrate Gilman HQ in Tokyo and steal data proving Saunders' involvement in the WLA attacks. After acquiring the data, the duo head to the roof for chopper extraction - where Saunders contacts Phoenix by radio and threatens' Phoenix's daughter Lily, and attacks the duo in his attack helicopter.

After Phoenix and Tukura clear the roof, Golden Sky arrives and fires air-to-air missiles at Saunders' chopper, temporarily chasing it away, and prepares to extract Phoenix and Tukura at a helipad. However Saunders' chopper returns and shoots down Golden Sky, causing the chopper to crash into the helipad and killing the pilot. As Saunders passes for another shot, Phoenix shoots his Hawk-13 at Saunders' cockpit, causing Saunders' helicopter to crash onto the helipad and burst into flames.

Saunders climbs out of the burning wreck, still alive and conscious and brandishes a Hawk-13, ready to shoot Phoenix; however Phoenix grapples it out of his hands, and Saunders pulls out a combat knife; in the struggle Phoenix manages stab Saunders in the neck, killing him with his own knife.

After Saunders' death, it is revealed that top Gilman Security executives were arrested, and that the UN had Gilman troops pulled out of Tokyo after Gilman's involvement in the terrorist attacks was revealed.
