Night Creeper Leader

()

Code Name: Night Creeper Leader
File Name: Unknown
Allegiance: Night Creepers
Birth Place: Unknown

Captured Cobra documents revealed the existence of a contact between Cobra Commander and a syndicate of high-tech ninjas led by the Night Creeper Leader. He is believed to conduct all field intelligence and covert operations for Cobra. All investigations into his origin and the structure of his Night Creepers have run into dead ends. If Attila the Hun had a black-belt and was armed with lasers he'd resemble this master of martial artist, except not as cruel.
"Like a fierce, dark cloud, we appear and rain misery over all."

Feedback

Code Name: Feedback
File Name: No records available
Allegiance: Cobra
Primary Military Specialty: Telecommunications/Computers
Birth Place: Des Moines, Iowa
Feedback started a promising career in the Telecommunications industry. His one problem was his temper. Things had a way of getting to him, and he ended up losing several very good jobs to "displays of uncontrollable anger". He languished in depression and poverty for a few years before finding a COBRA recruiter who convinced him that COBRA was a place where an unpleasant disposition actually got you PROMOTED. Feedback signed on the very next day.
He sky-rocketed through the ranks of Tele-Vipers, and by the time he was done, not one of them ever complained to his face about his performance...too many had and were mysteriously demoted the next day. Feedback is a natural trouble maker, who loves to hack into someone's credit line and ruin their lives. Sometimes it's because he's actually mad at them, other times, it's a hobby. He likes to see how deep into trouble he can get someone untraceably.

File Name: Ramone Conger
Primary Military Specialty: Hydrofoil Pilot
Secondary Military Specialty: COBRA Frogman (EELS)
Birthplace: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Lampreys are the elite of the COBRA sea-arm. To qualify for Lamprey training, a candidate must be a COBRA Trooper in top physical condition who has completed his EEL training (EEL's are the Frogman underwater demolition specialists of the COBRA legion) and has been operational as an EEL for more than a year. The training is highly selective and more than 50% of the applicants wash-out before completing the course.
From the files of Tomax & Xamot: Prior to his transfer to the R-07, Conger was a former Ice Viper assigned to the elite "WOLFpack armored recon guard" (W.A.R.G.s) and has served with distinction ever since. We prefer him above others for duty aboard our personal Moray because he won't dive overboard after the first Joe torpedo hits. Because of this, we have chosen him to serve part-time aboard Extensive Enterprise's corporate yacht. He doesn't demonstrate any overt sense of ambition, but we harbour nagging doubts. To paraphrase Shakespeare, ". . .he has a lean and hungry look, he thinks too much, such men are dangerous."

Primary Military Specialty: Intelligence
Birthplace: Callander, Scotland
Destro is the 17th "Laird' of a manor house in the Scottish highlands and the current head of a centuries-old arms manufacturing firm. Tradition holds that the current head of the firm always wears a polished beryllium steel mask when in public. Destro's predecessors supplied weapons and aircraft to the British in World War II, and Destro's father was active in supplying arms to Southeast Asia. The current Destro has been somewhat more ambitious, briefly running his own organization known as the Iron Grenadiers before becoming the arms supplier for Cobra on a regular basis. Although Destro personally despises Cobra Commander, believing him to be a pompous, posturing poltroon, he knows that working with Cobra is good for business. Cobra gives Destro more latitude in designing weapons than most national military organizations, and Cobra's penchant for inciting conflict in various parts of the world ensures a continued need for weaponry. The Joes have a grudging respect for Destro even if they disagree with his motives. Believing him to be the man with a sense of personal honor, he is unlike most of Cobra's hierarchy.
"As long as there are people in this world, there will always be conflict. Technology advances best during times of strife and battle, and there are always those who will take advantage of this. Better it should be someone with honor."

Storm Shadow has ever been closely affiliated with G.I. Joe's premiere commando, Snake-Eyes. The two served in the same Long Range Recon Patrol in Southeast Asia, trained in the art of ninjitsu together at school of Storm Shadow's family, and were pivotal in the formation of G.I. Joe's now-disbanded "Ninja Force." Storm Shadow had long since severed his affiliation with COBRA and atoned for his past misdeeds and proved himself a Joe in good standing. Unfortunately, Storm Shadow's protege (and Cobra Commander's estranged son), Billy, had been captured by the forces of COBRA. Feeling honor-bound to save his pupil, Storm Shadow mounted a solo rescue mission and was also overwhelmed and captured by COBRA. Through use of Dr. Mindbender's brainwave scanner, Storm Shadow was brainwashed into once again becoming a loyal agent of COBRA.
While the initial rabid fanaticism brought about by his brainwashing has worn off, the underlying imperatives are still there. He has been programmed to be loyal to Cobra Commander unto death and has a deep-seated hatred for the Joes in general and his "Sword-Brother" Snake-Eyes in particular. Tends to prefer working alone and believes the other ninja in the employ of COBRA to be inferior to himself. Qualified Expert: Long Bow, Samurai sword, Throwing Stars, Nunchaku sticks, 8 degree black belt in five martial arts.

During the war, he served as a sapper in France and Germany, with duties ranging from mine removal to demolitions and sabotage.

In the briefest sence, Bloodwraith is Shockwave's opposite number among the legions of COBRA. He was born in Belfast while it was still under British control. He grew up with members of the IRA, learning everything he could about how to subvert an oppressive government. He joined the military and excelled in evry course on demolition, close quarter combat, and anything that could be used for terrorism. After the British rule ended, he no longer had any purpose in Ireland, so he drifted, working as a mercenary. It was during this time that he met Zartan, who recruited him into COBRA. He quickly rose through the ranks, and once again excelled in his training, tearing through Night Viper, Nitro Viper, HEAT Viper, and Techno Viper school. He gained the attention of Cobra Commander, who was looking for a man to lead a COBRA answer to the GI Joe Urban Warfare Group. The Commander chose Bloodwraith to lead COBRA's urban terrorism team. The men of his team quickly learned one thing: never compare him to Shockwave. The last Alley Viper who made the comparison was found broken in half and decapitated, stuffed in the engine of a Rattler. Some have rumored that Bloodwraith actually is Shockwave, but most of the men who thought this have had mysterious accidents. Bloodwraith despises Shockwave and everything he stands for and prays for the day that he can rid the world of the Joe.

Birthplace: Jerusalem, Israel
Born a Palestinian, Ghoul was orphaned at an early age and grew up with members of a group whose goal was the restoration of Palestine to her people. She learned to be a sniper at a very young age and discovered that she was an excellent marksman. A very religious person, she took a vow of silence until the day her homeland was restored to her and the usurpers were destroyed. Bloodwraith saw her in action and recruited her to his mercenary team. She followed him when he joined COBRA, satisfied that it was the best road to fulfilling her quest. Ghoul is a very solitary person, preferring to stalk her foes and hunt them alone. Her only true friend in her mind is her rifle, the same rifle she has used since she first became a sniper. Most people she encounters are put off by her silence, unsure how to deal with her. That is except for Yeti. Yeti immediately struck up a partnership with her, understanding her even though she never speaks. They often pair together as sniper/scout.
