Hamilton 'Porky' Ironsides has at various times worked for NATO, the Brotherhood, and even as a mercenary for pay.
He was married to a Woman who manifest Prime Powers, who was killed during the Uni-Tech 'Freaks of Nature' purge that took place in Chicago during he fall of 1989. Porky and his wife Samantha had one daughter Sarah, who disappeared during the F.o.N.P.
During the First Carrion outbreaks Porky was was part of a highly secret branch of Covert Operations for NATO - and slowly fell into working with the Brotherhood, as he was sympathetic to their cause.
It was Doctor Makalay of the Brotherhood that sent Porky to the San Angeles Resistance front, with the intention of getting the S.A. group to join the Brotherhood and introduce them to all the stolen Uni-Tech and Blackwood Industries Technology available to the cause.
Though initially distrustful of the Leader of the S.A. Rebels due to her possible connections to Uni-Tech, and with a healthy dislike of 'Do Gooder' (his nickname for Marcus Darr, who in Porky's opinion is too good a man to be real) Porky came to be a respected as a valued member of the S.A. Resistance.
Though no one could accuse Porky of having the proverbial 'heart of gold', he is not as ruthless or extreme as his brusque exterior seems.
