When equipped with one of his Rifle-Shields, Blackbeard is protected from a few shots that are directed to his head.They protect his head from a couple bullets, allowing a slightly higher survivability rate at the cost of mobility and recoil control. Harishva "Harry" Pandey, Director of Rainbow Gameplay Description LoadoutĪ Medium Health Operator, Blackbeard's unique gadgets are his two Transparent Armored Rifle-Shields (TARS). If he wants to play pirates in his downtown, I think it sounds like fun. He's successful at it and well-liked by his team. He's a solid operator with a clear image of his role. Jenson says pirates were egalitarian, and that it was similar to how a Rainbow team might conduct an operation. ![]() That said, when at home he enjoys playing swashbuckler pirates with his kids. Present day pirates are a serious concern to the Navy, and Jenson has participated in multiple anti-piracy task forces. Jenson says he shares that same passion to explore, though he's not at all interested in abandoning his own wife and children. He says his great-grandfather quit his job one day, left his wife and kids, and went North to be a gold miner. He later learned that they knew exactly where he was and had been keeping an eye on him. He camped there for two days, then returned so his parents wouldn't worry. At five years old he snuck out of bed and hauled all the family camping equipment into the woods behind his house. I asked him when he first discovered his taste for adventure. He told me that he thought about becoming an oceanographer but right now there's "still a lot of shine on being a SEAL". I asked him if there was a job out there that he would do if he wasn't in the military. This seems to be something he's been cultivating since his youth. He says the wilderness encourages adaptation and builds willpower, tolerance, and acceptance. Īthletic, rugged, a mountain climber and competitive sailor, Jenson tells me that he's most himself when he's in nature. He was relaxed and open throughout our conversation, describing himself as "gung-ho and an all-in kind of guy." I have to admit I don't hear "gung-ho" too often. Outside his operational role, Jenson doesn't appear to take too many things seriously. Specialist Craig "Blackbeard" Jenson has a commanding presence, complemented by a boisterous sense of humor and a booming laugh. Driven to succeed in his profession and his private life, he climbed Mount Everest, participated in US sailing championships, and has sailed around the world on several occasions. He sees SEALs as an ideal blend of mental and physical abilities and strives to optimize both of these traits in himself. The drive and discipline seen in SEAL team members is what drew Jenson to the group. At some point he worked as a SEAL instructor, meeting Meghan Castellano during her training. After his initial military stint, Jenson eventually succeeded in his ultimate goal of joining the US Navy SEALs. Joining the military offered him the ideal opportunity to pursue an academic education while learning a wide range of skills that fueled his adventurous spirit. Jenson enlisted in the United States Navy at eighteen. This solidified his desire to serve his country and see the world. With the help of his father, a kinesiology professor at the University of Washington, he joined the Boy Scouts of America and the United Sates Naval Sea Cadet Corps ( Blue Angels Squadron) at the age of twelve. He sought to break the family tradition of being involved in medical sciences and devoted his life to achieving his goal. He decided that he wanted to be a Navy SEAL at a young age. Jenson grew up in a comfortable upper middle-class family with no military history. ![]()
