"Veteran of several middle east conflicts".

Griffiths used to be a sniper in the special forces but realised there wasn't big money to be made so became a mercenary fighting in Libia, Kashmir and Afghanistan. It became clear that being a soldier of fortune was a very dangerous game and that he was getting too old to play so he turned to a life of crime teaming up with an old army pal and set up a gun trafficking and smuggling racket "importing" anything and everything from cigarettes to people.

Griffiths has been hunted by Police, Customs and Excise for years, but he's an expert in avoiding detection. Vastly experienced, basically he's seen it been there got the T-shirt.

No "jobs" too risky for him, he's been around far too long.
