He began to rob banks and stores, eventually he was cornered by SWAT and finally controlled. The police were about to sentence him to prison until Doctor Lancer showed the LANCER project. She offered him a lifting of the prison sentence in exchange for being a member of the project. Butch agreed, controlling his temper more and halting further crimes he could have possibly committed.

Personality and Traits
Before joining the LANCER project, Butch was a wanted criminal in Wyoming and Idaho. He was very secretive and was very difficult to find. If he was found, he would be very difficult to catch.
