By current plan, Terror Leader will be the player's character in storyline of GLA company (missions are still discussed).
As you know during events of Generals and Zero Hour, GLA rebels were destroyed nearly completely. However, branch leaders have survived. By now, it is known that, after betrayal of part of his followers, Dr.Thrax was captured by US troops and now held somewhere in detention camp and was not transferred from territory of conflict. Prince Kassad is steal dealing with his "former brothers" and therefore, US and China forces are not so concerned with him. Rodal "Demo" is seriously suppressed by Chinese forces and nearly ran out of men, this was the reason for him to reconsider his tactics. And may be GLA would fade away, but a new force arise from where it was least expected.
Former Head Commander of certain Arabic country, now known as Terror Leader. Before US troops brought there democracy, he was nearly a head of military government criticized by pro-democratic opposition. After these events, he joined anti-democratic opposition and was followed by most of his subordinates. He concluded that by now he alone will fail to retrieve power in his country, therefore, he escaped to find "new friends". And they were GLA rebels. Inspired by their ideas and convinced by their help, Terror Leader formed a new branch to revive and reunite uncoordinated forces of rebels to wipe US troops out of the region. Using his former relations and with support of certain Islamic countries, he built well-skilled and heavily armed forces capable to compete with professional armies.
Terror Leader is most known for using better-quality weaponry (compared to other GLA forces) coupled with high enough mobility. His forces are capable not only of hit-and-run tactics but can fight enemy toe to toe. Although he prefer weaponry and combat vehicles bought from all over the world, Terror Leader puts his efforts into providing salvage and garage-made weaponry to further improve his forces.
