History.
Buster Monroe is a traumatized World War II veteran who lost his legs to a 'kraut' (German soldier) during the war. His most prominent memory of the loss is watching the soldier do a Can-Can dance with the severed legs. He tells Steve he crawled from Germany to England due to the loss of his legs, and his "three miles" of intestines were the only way for him to track the distance. Upon returning to a friendly base, he was mocked relentlessly for his ordeal and became extremely bitter towards his military superiors and psychiatrist.

Monroe is clearly an unstable person with a hatred for 'Commies' (Communists). Monroe wanted more action, but the army believed he was too unstable to do any serious work and the Firemen wouldn't allow him to become one of them because he couldn't draw naked men, so he guards the nuclear missile silo of Harvest. Buster Monroe has Steve set out to investigate the Firemen, since under Monroe's suspicion, he believes they may be Communists. Telling Monroe that they are will result in Steve's death. Monroe will shoot Steve in the head and accidentally pressing the button. Which causes the missiles to go off and blow up the town of Harvest.

Previous Life.
Besides the backstory that Monroe told Steve, there isn't much else to know about him. Besides the fact that he's not even real. Monroe is just a virtual character in a virtual reality created by the Harvesters. It's unknown what happened to him and the virtual reality of Harvester after the endings.

Quotes

 * "I'll never forget looking back over my shoulder, and seeing that kraut do the can-can with MY LEGS! Still, a few weeks later, with only my compass and a pair of nylons, I made it back to safety. Now the krauts are our friends, and the Commie bastards are our enemies. . . but even so, there's at least one kraut out there that I'll never invite over to Sunday dinner."
