Shane Schofield
Captain Shane Michael Schofield, callsign Scarecrow, (born 1968) United States Marine Corps is a fictional character, whose exploits form the basis of a series created by the Australian author, Matthew Reilly. He appears in ''Ice Station'', ''Area 7'', ''Scarecrow'', ''Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves'' and the spin off ''Hell Island''. While the plot differs from novel to novel, it is mainly based around Schofield's legendary reputation as a strong Marine, revered by the Marines that serve under his command and known for his high-risk tactical maneuvers.
The character of Shane Schofield was based on Tom Cruise as revealed by Matthew Reilly in a book interview.
== Biography ==
Schofield's callsign "Scarecrow" refers to the vertical scars running over each of his eyes. They were inflicted upon him in 1995 when he was tortured in Serbia during the Yugoslav Wars after his Harrier aircraft was shot down. A Marine Force Reconnaissance unit was sent in, one of its members being Buck "Book" Riley, who later joins Schofield's team in ''Ice Station''. Schofield withstood hours of torture, never revealing his mission, before the Serbs technically blinded him, believing (correctly) that he was helping Navy SEALs that were killing Serbian soldiers. At Johns Hopkins University Hospital, they fixed his eyesight, yet the scars remained, leaving him to cover them with silver, wrap-around, anti-flash sunglasses for the future. Due to military regulations, Schofield was never allowed to fly a military plane again. He then decided to become a ground soldier and returned to Basic School in Quantico, Virginia. A few months later, Schofield was promoted and was eventually given his own Recon unit. He was given command of the unit approximately two years before the events in ''Ice Station''. In ''Ice Station'' he holds the rank of lieutenant, and from ''Area 7'' onward he is a captain.
During the events of ''Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves'', more details of his family life were revealed. His grandfather, Michael Schofield (callsign "Mustang") was one of the most decorated Marines in the Corps. While Schofield is close to his grandfather, his relationship with his father, John Schofield, is considerably worse. John Schofield resented Michael's standing within the Corps, and despite being a successful businessman, he felt he was unable to step out from his father's shadow. This manifested in a pattern of systematic abuse against his wife and son. John Schofield ultimately committed suicide, leaving twelve million dollars to his son; Shane Schofield donated all of it to a Washington, DC hospital as he felt the money was tainted.
