Sniper
Being a sniper is a terrifying prospect: miles away from the action and yet still being able to kill men miles away. Elijah found his calling on this heartless task. He wore the skin of a natural born killer, who revels on the hunt on the battlefield. Xavier was his reluctant sidekick - not yet comfortable with the notion of murder. However, he was obliged to support Elijah, his longtime friend who was changing slowly on the inside - becoming a different person, thing, animal. To be an efficient sniper Elijah had to change. He learnt how to control his emotions while scoped in. To pull the trigger with a cold heart, not a wavering breath.

It seems almost unimaginable what these men had to go through. To take such a drastic change in one's life must have been a difficult part in the war.
