The gentle giant whose devastating protective instincts emerge when children are threatened. Broke Matthew Morrison&#8217;s arms in four places for trying to murder Clay with a chef&#8217;s knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple wisdom hides tactical brilliance. Sees the beauty in flag colors representing everyone who built America, just like his friendship with Refugio transcended racial boundaries. The muscle who never loses sight of why they fight &#8211; to protect the vulnerable from predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combat veteran who understands that real strength protects innocence rather than destroys it. His calm demeanor masks the warrior who&#8217;ll charge harder than anyone when family is threatened. The cornerstone who keeps Al grounded while supporting their mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gentle giants guard the good.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SGT.
