During his career, Captain Ulster met with an Agent named Reynolds who worked for the British Secret Service. Reynolds was tasked with stopping the IRA with and it's leader Dr. Free State. The two made up a batman/ commissioner Gordon style of relationship. Reynolds would provide Captain Ulster with information regarding paramilitary movements and he would stop them. Unbeknownst to Captain Ulster, Reynolds had a more evil plan in progress. Reynolds himself was corrupt as fuck and he knew it was only a matter of time before the British government found out. Dr. Free State himself was a British informant. He told Reynolds about Bray and how it would be the perfect area to set up. He told Reynolds that he only wanted 2 things, to be pardoned and the British government to say that he had no involvement with paramilitaries and to kill Captain Ulster.

It was then in 1995; Reynolds went ahead with the plan and informed Captain Ulster that Dr. Free state had a huge laser to reunite Ireland. to his surprise Captain Ulster believed him and went off to Armagh. After defeating all of Dr. Free States men, Reynolds confronts him and tells him the truth that he was only a pawn in a dirty game of politics.
