Head: Custom
Torso: Ripcord v1

Bio: Falcon is a second-generation Green Beret, his father having served with the 10th SFGA (Special Forces Group Airborne) from its very beginnings at Fort Bragg's Smoke Bomb Hill. His older half-brother was Conrad Hauser, codename: "Duke", G.I. Joe's Top Sergeant before the unit's disbandment, however, the two of them chose not to let the majority of the team know this so that Duke could not be accused of going soft on his little brother. Falcon was cross-trained in demolitions and served briefly with the 5th SFGA "Blue Light" counter-terrorist unit as an "A" team XO (Executive Officer, the second-in-command). He is proficient in Spanish, French, Arabic and Swahili.

"When you're assigned to train and lead a group of native tribesmen as insurgents, there's two ways to do it; One is you bully and overwhelm them with superior firepower and technology... Or you can bite the head of a snake, chug-a-lug the local brew and yell 'Follow me!' Falcon is a snake-biter if I ever saw one." -- Sergeant Wayne R. Sneeden, codename: "Beachhead"
