Bio: Born with a natural talent for mimicry, Faces entertained his fellow recruits during Basic with his uncanny impersonations of the drill instructors and company cadre. He was doing a brutally accurate one of the First Sergeant when that self-same top-kick caught him in the act. Instead of drawing punishment duty, Faces found himself before an evaluation board and summarily whisked off to a top-secret intelligence school where they taught him how to sculpt life-like masks, apply make-up, and generally transform himself into whoever he wanted to be. Other infiltrators need a long time to study their subject before they can assume their identities, Faces needs only a few minutes before he can become his subject. Being a qualified expert with pistol and commando knife comes in handy if Cobra sees through his disguises- which is rarely the case. His many impersonations have gained the team much valuable infomation on the enemy, as well as extra leave time when he has impersonated Turbo and signed his own leave request forms.
"Oh, I know about Faces' stunts with his leave forms. And yeah, I could slam the door down on it, but why should I? He's rarely ever made when undercover and even when he is, he makes sure that whatever Cobra discovered him doesn't get a chance to tell anyone, so if he wants to take an extra week off every few months, that's fine with me." -- Major John T. Magnus, codename: "Turbo"
