Bersek is a new character introduced in Metal Slug Attack.
Character Summary
Bersek used to serve in the Regular Army and was in a romantic relationship with Louise. He had planned for their engagement in the process. During an operation against an unknown enemy, Louise was wounded. Bersek hid her before going out to check their surroundings, despite her protests. He never returned, instead captured by the Invaders, who saw potential and experimented on him. Although little was changed with his appearance, a chip was implanted to force subtle loyalty to the Invaders. However, he does have brief moments of clarity, often thinking about his promise to Louise and states that he never breaks his promises.
Already a skilled combatant while serving in the Regular Army, the experiments performed on him have further improved his strength and agility. He was also given two futuristic tonfas which serve as both melee and ranged weapons. During battle, he gets into a frenzy and doesn't stop until the battle ends, something which he disliked.
After regaining his will, Bersek holds resentment towards the Invaders for taking his life away and experimenting on them, wanting nothing more than revenge against his captors.
Story
Extra Ops
Bersek is briefly mentioned in "Tropical Battles" where he hides a wounded Louise from the enemy before going out to check if the area was safe, against her protests.
Bersek makes his first appearance in "Memories of Mirage", where he is sent to Earth with Fedeln to find a core from a legendary ship. Being his first time back on Earth since his abduction, Fedeln asks him if they should visit "her" at least once before they leave; Bersek refuses as it brings up bad memories. They soon encounter their target, a Mirage Shiee, which he destroys, before he senses additional contacts and drags Fedeln with him to hide. The contacts he sensed were Louise and Reika. Although he is able to evade Louise, his hasty attempt to avoid her ends up with him getting poisoned by Fedeln, though he is treated for his wounds upon returning.
Following several improvements on the microchip to increase performance, the Invaders unintentionally damage it, restoring his free will. To test out his new strength, the Invaders send him to attack a Regular Army base, having Ai Agate accompany him for the mission. He is initially unaware that Louise was also participating until Agate spots her, where he sends her off to talk with her. After sharing a moment together, he explains his disappearance and that he intends to remain with the Invaders to destroy them from the inside-out as revenge for the torture they put him through before returning to her side. Back on the ship, Agate reveals she listened to his conversation with her, causing him to attack her, but stops him from killing her by supporting his goal as long as he doesn't hurt Citrine. After ensuring that she wasn't lying, he accepts her help.
