These are the battle-ready selfless young Brits with no military experience who are happy to risk their lives to fight alongside Ukrainian troops.
The pair didn't even tell their parents they were heading for the war zone for fear they would try to change their minds.
Inexperienced Matt Harden, 25, from Liverpool and brave teenager Steven, from Scotland, met up with an Algerian-Australian man, aged 24, online.
They first spoke through Discord, an online chat room popular among gamers. From there, they hatched their plan to join the international legion.

They decided to join the fight to protect Ukraine after watching on in horror as the country was shelled by Vladimir Putin's Russian forces.
Their reasons for going are "because of humanity" and all three said they "disagree with the bombing of children".
The Algerian-Australian man, who preferred not to give his name, admitted: "I'm a bit anxious, to be honest."
The British men posed for a photograph before crossing the border into Ukraine to fight alongside Ukrainian forces.
They travelled despite warnings from UK ministers that they could be breaking the law if they do so.
For those determined to go to the frontline, Ukraine has waived visa requirements for foreigners entering the nation in order to help fight against the Russian military.
Mr Harden says he has never been in any kind of battle before but still wanted to do his bit in the country torn apart by shellings on a daily basis.
"I have no previous military experience but I have used a firearm," he told.
The trio asked for a lift across the border from the first car they managed to stop, and were welcomed by an English speaking man who was going to Ukraine to provide humanitarian aid.
They say their first destination is Lviv, a city in western Ukraine which around 70 kilometers from the border with Poland.
But they explained that they "we will go wherever we are needed" and vowed to do all they can to help the people
Another Brit in Ukraine is volunteer Thomas Bell, from Milton Keynes. The 37-year-old, who lives in southern Poland, came to fight but decided to stay and help at the border.
UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace urged Brits against joining the fighting - suggesting there were better ways to assist Ukraine - including volunteering to support refugees, or donating to the Ukrainian embassy.
But Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she “wouldn’t oppose” British nationals travelling to the country to fight the Russian invasion.
“The people of Ukraine are fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but also for the whole of Europe because that is what President Vladimir Putin is challenging," she said.
"And absolutely, if people want to support that struggle, I would support them in doing that."
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has set up an international legion to accommodate foreign fighters.
His ambassador in London said the embassy had been “bombarded” with people wanting to join the fight.
“You wouldn’t believe it. It’s not just Ukrainians. Everybody, from all the nations just asking how we can get in,” Vadym Prystaiko told the BBC.
