“I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.”
— Steve Rogers.
{personality}
"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is Steve Rogers. You're heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time to tell the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not."

To understand Commander, one must first understand Steve Rogers, a man born in a time of need without two legs strong enough to stand on. As a child, he was sickly and weak. He faced relentless bullying and hardships with his health, lost his father in the first World War, and his mother to tuberculosis. He grew up with very little, and made ends meet in any way he could. Despite his rough life, he was raised to care about people. He looks for the good in anyone he can, and would do anything to preserve a sense of true justice. To him, there's nothing worse than a bully.

The vital difference between Steve and Commander is that Commander has no idea he is the bully, now.

Even having his mind wiped wasn't enough to destroy the desire to do what's right. Captain America's moral compass shown brightly through the lack of memories, and Hydra made the best of this. They told him everything he needed to hear, that he was an agent of Hydra who'd lost his memories in an incident in the war, that the arm they'd given him was to replace the one he'd lose in the same incident... and most importantly, that they were the rebellion, rising up against the oppressive world around them, and that he was the only one who could save the innocent population of the earth.

At his core, Commander is still very much the loyal-to-a-fault Steve Rogers he remembers nothing about. He's sarcastic, has a sharp sense of humor, and amazing leadership skills. His tactical mind is one of a kind, and his sense of responsibility is unrivaled. But all of this has been twisted underneath decades of training and conditioning. He's been transformed into a killer, one who can and will go to nearly any lengths necessary to see his missions completed.

He's changing the world, one target at a time, and anyone who gets in the way can only be a traitor to the earth.

"What about you? Are you ready to follow 'Captain America' into the jaws of death?"
"Hell, no. That little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight, I'm following him."

"People are gonna die, Buck. I can't let that happen."

"You know, I read those SSR files. Greatest generation? You guys did some nasty stuff."
"Yeah, we compromised. Sometimes in ways that made us not sleep so well. But we did it so the people could be free. This isn't freedom, this is fear."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the world as it is, not as we'd like to be. And it's getting damn near past time for you get with that program, Cap."
"Don't hold your breath."

"What makes you so special?"
"Nothing; I'm just a kid from Brooklyn."

{history}
(stolen from app; work in progress)
→Everything starts out the same as in the movie canon, until he’s running through missions with the Howling Commandos.
→And then, everything changed when Hydra caught their break. In a narrow hallway Steve and Bucky are advancing down, a Hydra agent throws a grenade. Steve throws Bucky backwards, and grabs the grenade to throw it back at the agent. It explodes less than three feet from Steve’s outstretched arm, destroying it and knocking both men unconscious. The agents leave Bucky for dead, and take Steve.
→Steve gets the metal arm. In a confused, mid-brainwashed rage, he lashes out, killing several agents and overpowering Johann Schmidt before he’s subdued.
→With Red Skull killed, Hydra begins its “safer world” missive decades ahead of time.
→Steve’s memory is wiped, and he undergoes full brainwashing. He begins his systematic takedown of political and military leaders worldwide in Hydra’s name.
→Steve faces Bucky in an assassination mission in which Bucky is guarding the target. Bucky is left alive; a hole in Steve’s conditioning keeps him from delivering the final blow on his best friend.
→Bucky and Peggy team up to try to get Steve back. They succeed in breaking through his brainwashing, but the effort proves fruitless in the end; Steve is recovered by Hydra agents and treated a second time.
→Bucky and Peggy are captured during an infiltration gone awry. They, along with the other members of their squad, face execution on the plane they’re being transported on. Steve is revealed as their executioner. Peggy is killed in front of Bucky. Bucky is wounded and thrown out of the plane over the Arctic Ocean.
→Years pass, and Hydra gains global control.
→S.H.I.E.L.D. (Specialized Homeland Infiltration, Espionage, and Liberation Division.) is formed as a global resistance organization by Howard Stark. →Steve Rogers as Captain America becomes a fairy tale. The name is forgotten to him on a personal level. He’s referred to only as “Commander”, “The Asset”, and “The Winter Soldier.”
→1981, Howard and Maria Stark are murdered in front of an 11-year-old Tony, who is then taken in by a young Nick Fury after he inherits the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. from Howard.
→S.H.I.E.L.D. grows more active, forcing Hydra to keep Steve out of cryo.
→Natasha Romanoff joins Hydra, and during those years, she and Steve pursue a relationship. When she defects, Hydra utilizes Steve’s anger at her betrayal to hit S.H.I.E.L.D. twice as hard.
→At current, S.H.I.E.L.D. has recently unearthed a body from the arctic, unbeknownst to Hydra, and somehow miraculously alive...
“ ... Every time I look at you... I feel sick. Like I should be ashamed of everything I know. Because you look at me like I'm the most disappointing thing you've ever had to see.”
— Commander.
