Biography[]
Coray Ward in Bolivia, 2019
Coray Ward was born in Trenton, New Jersey in 1985, and he excelled in his studies from an early age and graduated magna cum laude from Princeton before joining the US Navy. Ward served in the US Navy SEALs before joining SEAL Team Six under JSOC and mastering his impressive aiming skills as a combat sniper. Ward received numerous medals and accolades for various missions, and, in 2015, he exceeded his orders by eliminating two top ISIL operatives rather than the one he had been sent to kill. While he was sent to Fort Benning on his return to the United States, it was there he was recruited into the elite Ghost Recon team at the age of 30.
Weaver was assigned to a squad with Anthony Perryman, Rubio Delgado, and Dominic Moretta, and they were dispatched to Bolivia in July 2019 as part of Operation Kingslayer, a covert mission to work with the Kataris 26 rebels to destroy the Santa Blanca Cartel. After the mission was completed, Ward and his team helped rescue NGO hostages from Burkina Faso.
