John Trent

John Trent, known as Sheppard, is a former Belltower operative turned illegal arms dealer.

Biography
Prior to 2027, Trent was employed as a strike team member for Belltower Associates. After Belltower's scandal concerning Rifleman Bank Station broke out, Trent and his crew left Belltower to train terrorists and deal in illegal arms and augmentations. Trent is described by Miller as being ruthless with a disregard for civilian casualties.

Sometime in 2028, Interpol's Task Force 29 intercepts Trent in the process of shipping military-grade augmentations out of Detroit and, with the help of Adam Jensen, succeed in stopping Trent's cargo plane from leaving the city.

In 2029, Trent heads to Dubai to sell high grade augmentations and weapons to the Jinn cartel, but is killed in an ambush by gold-mask mercenaries.
