Biography[]
Rorke makes his official appearance in the Season 4 Spurned and Burned Battle pass comic, where he is revealed to have hired both Templar and Cecilia "Dame" Perrin to set up an ambush for the UAC operators in Texas, consisting of Captain Price, Charly, Mace and Rosa, who are now tied up against pillars. He mocks Mace for working with the enemy and that he has picked the wrong one for the winning side. He then goes on further to state that this was a ploy to split up the UAC and that he already knows of Shepherd's location, and that he believes Price will tell him the location of the remaining UAC member: Adler. Price says that he's sick of the Five Knights, to which Rorke replies that he doesn't blame him as he's only in it for the money and doesn't know much about "Knight stuff". Price deduces that Rorke is a puppet, but he clearly doesn't care so long as there is cashflow.
Suddenly, Mace breaks the pipe he's chained to and attacks Rorke with it. After a while of wrestling with him, Rorke manages to take the pipe and knock down both Mace and Rosa who had also managed to free herself.
Having had enough of toying with them, Rorke draws his gun to Price's head and demands to know where Adler is, only for the latter to reveal himself. As Rorke mocks him for having to come to him so soon, Adler says that he's brought backup--together with an old friend. The old friend is revealed to be none other than Ghost himself, accompanied by the German Shepherd Riley. His arrival shocks everyone present, including Templar, as he says his famous line, "You can't kill a Ghost".
Ghost tells Templar they have a score to settle--so Templar responds by throwing his knife at Ghost, but the latter catches it and swivels it around his wrist before he throws it back, hitting Rorke in the arm. Ghost tells his fellow Ghosts to secure Rorke and the facility while he deals with Templar. Rorke makes a hasty escape with Dame covering her, not knowing that they're also being followed by Adler. Adler shoots at Rorke; the bullet grazes past Rorke's ear. He then orders Dame to take Adler out; Dame goes after Adler. Rorke manages to get into a chopper and fly away, but Price notes that the chopper in not a long distance one, so he must be heading for something near; revealed to be a ship. Rorke meets up with Vagr Modir and Hidora Kai. Modir scolds Rorke for giving her flawed intel as her fleet was decimated by the Ghosts. Rorke tells her that Adler introduced a new element and was playing cards close to his chest. He then informs Modir & Hidora that the Ghosts have found them already, as their ship comes under fire from the Ghosts’ ship as well as the UAC’s.
Rorke suggests dropping naval mines in their path to delay their pursuit. This plan succeeds, and Rorke’s ship manages to evade the UAC & Ghosts. Eventually the ship arrives in Panama, where Rorke intends to meet up with Rott, a local arms dealer. Hidora questions him why he is going there, but Rorke shoots him down saying that he’s not here to answer his questions and reminds him who freed him from the UAC’s grasp. Hidora accepts this but then expresses concern for the UAC pursuing them, but Rorke tells him to let them come anyway, as they won’t find the place as friendly as they do. As they disembark from the ship, he is greeted by Rott and his henchmen.
Some time later, Rorke is seen talking with Rott about Rosa and how he failed to stop her from leaking crucial information regarding their operations. Rorke says Rott was supposed to be competent, to which he replies that Rorke was supposed to be stealthy and not lead the UAC to him. Rorke shrugs off the irritation, saying that it doesn’t matter and that when they arrive, he won’t be around as he has gotten what he needed.
Templar then interrupts their conversation, asking Rorke what did he need. He replies that he needed someone who obeys orders & not ask questions they don’t need answers to. Templar then pulls out his throwing knives, ready to do battle.
Rott is quick to bail, claiming it’s not his fight, while Rorke, seeming to have anticipated Templar becoming ambitious, orders his henchmen to kill him. However, Dame had summoned the rest of the Dark Covenant, consisting of Dark Shepherd, Artery, Witch Doctor, Dark Rider & Stansfield, to join the fight as well. The group easily dispatches Rorke’s mercs, while remarking that they’ve been watching & waiting for the chance to strike.
Rorke attempts to fend them off, but finds himself overwhelmed, so he decides to exfil on his ship. However, Stansfield foils this plan, as he blows up the ship before Rorke can even board it, leaving him trapped with the Covenant.
Still unwilling to go down, Rorke brawls with Templar before the latter throws his knife into his chest. Rorke defiantly claims that he may not know who they are, but they won’t win as the world belongs to the Federation & the Five Knights, as he pulls the knife from his chest. Dame shrugs it off as mere arrogance and states that they are the Dark Covenant & that they’ve already won.
Rorke derides them for following the “zealots”, but Dame declares that they are the destined, true leaders of the world and it’s time for them to step out of the shadows. Rorke insults them saying them “cultists” aren’t destined for anything, before he provocatively asks if they’re going to kill him. The question ultimately results in his undoing, as Dame responds by slitting his throat, killing him.
