Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer is the sole survivor of the special forces team dispatched to Central America in 1987. Schaefer was a specialist in guerrilla engagements and had been posted in both Da Nang and Cambodia during and just after the Vietnam War alongside George Dillon. Schaefer attended boot camp with Davis in 1967 and has a brother in the NYPD. Prior to events in Central America, Shaefer leaves the U.S. Army and sets up his own mercenary or private military contractor rescue team. The team have seen operations in Afghanistan and more recently Berlin, Germany. Shaefer is determined to keep his team as rescuers and will turn down any 'hit' operations, such as he did recently with a proposed operation in Libya.
[edit] Biography
[edit] Predator
He is sent on a mission in Val Verde, under the belief that presidential cabinet members of Guatemala were kidnapped by guerrilla forces. After attacking the guerrilla's post, they discover that the men were actually CIA agents. It is also known that Dutch and his team had been sent on a rescue mission to Afghanistan for a time as stated by Poncho. After the Predator kills all of Dutch's team and Dillon, and with Anna being rescued, he is the only man left in the jungle with the Predator. Using a knife and vines to fashion primitive weapons and traps including a spear (with the knife as the blade), and a bow with an explosive-tipped arrow made from a 40mm grenade, he covers his body in mud after discovering the Predator sees through infrared, essentially making him invisible. Though the Predator falls victim to a number of Dutch's traps, they fail to kill. Eventually, the Predator catches him and the two fight hand to hand. Despite his impressive physique, Dutch is no match for the Predator, only surviving when he manages to lure it into a trap where it is nearly crushed by a log. The beaten Predator then activated a self-destruct device for its suicide and to kill Dutch; however, Dutch survived the explosion and is rescued by the rescue helicopter that saved Anna.
