Codename: Guillotine
Real Name: CLASSIFIED
Role: Field Operations Leader
Primary Specialty: Squad Leader, Infantry Tactician
Secondary Specialty: Combat Diver
Combat History: US Navy SEALs (Discharged),
COBRA Training Qualifications: EEL, Moray, Snow Serpent
Known History: A former US Navy SEAL, the subject grew distant from his brethren because they weren’t ruthless enough. His official discharge mentions the phrase “frequent violation of ROE which compromised the safety and integrity of the unit” on several occasions. He joined COBRA and quickly became an EEL. The subject rose through the ranks because of his lack of scruples. Focuses on unit cohesion rather than morale. His skill was enough that he was the first recruit to the PLAGUE program. Even in the expanded PLAGUE roster, he has retained the position of field leader. It seems that the subject has impressed the COBRA Operative Krake, who has recently been given full reign of the unit. The subject doesn’t say much and when he does speak it is for a purpose. Hates gimmicks or frivolity, which has led to conflict with roughly half of the leadership in the COBRA organization. He is known to have survived in one on one combat with Snake Eyes.
Remarks: “I’ve fought against the toughest COBRA has offered, Guillotine is different. He very easily could have been one of us. Some say he was on our radar before he abruptly lost his commission. 10 months later he began to appear in photos of COBRA forces, first as an EEL, then a Moray (The EEL equivalent of our UDT), and lastly in command of EEL forces. Under his tutelage these already tough opponents became truly nasty, committing atrocities I didn’t even think COBRA could condone. It figures COBRA Commander would have chosen him to lead a group whose express purpose is to incite violence and kill members of my own team. Many of my fellow SEAL Joes have admitted that he is on top of our most wanted list” - CPO Christopher “Tracker” Groen, US Navy,
ID# 672- 4972 -XM42
Codename: Interrogator
Real Name: Unconfirmed
Role: Intelligence Analyst
Primary Specialty: Interrogation,Chemical Experimentation
Secondary Specialty: Rotary Wing Pilot, Communications
Combat History: Unconfirmed - Potential Adventure Team Member
COBRA Training Qualifications: Viper, Tele-Viper, Heli-Viper
Known History: By far the oldest member of the PLAGUE. Possibly one of the earliest COBRA recruits. Some speculate that he was the first COBRA recruit. Statements and references suggest that he was active during the 1970s and 1980s in the intelligence community, some are so bold as to insinuate he was once a member of the Adventure Team. What is known is that his helmet has built-in voice modulation and the reflective face piece utilizes LED technology to hypnotize his subjects. We surmise that his helmet also employs sensors that monitor his subjects' vitals as well as record responses with immediate playback to monitor micro-expressions. Though he prefers not to resort to violent measures like his fellow COBRA interrogators, The Paine Brothers. He is not above inflicting pain to achieve the desired result. In the past few years, the subject has been known to employ chemical means. Internal COBRA memos suggest that the subject has COBRA Commander’s confidence, a feat few achieve. Field reports indicate he is operating in an advisory role to COBRA operative Krake, who has recently taken command of the unit.
Remarks: “COBRA operatives all attempt to scare you with a goofy costume, depraved behavior, and gimmicky code names, not Interrogator, he is exactly what his name suggests. I’ve practiced every method of information extraction allowed by international law and studied those which are not. My best guess is he wrote most of those books I have read. Having been on both sides of the table with him I can truly say he is unnerving to be around. We know he is one of COBRA Commander’s most trusted agents which explains his inclusion in a unit whose purpose is to hunt and kill our operatives. The information he could glean from any one of us could prove to be chink in our armor.” - Sgt. Andrew J. “Rook” Lombardi, US Army, ID# 261-94-LA42
Codename: Gallows
Real Name: CLASSIFIED
Role: Machine Gunner
Primary Specialty: Machine Gunner
Secondary Specialty: Marksman
Combat History: Unconfirmed
COBRA Training Qualifications: Viper, SAW Viper
Known History: Field reports indicate the subject enjoys maiming his targets. His sadism has proven to be a weakness at times. Training with Guillotine has reduced the negative impact on his team. Uses tracer rounds chemically formulated to his visor. Gallows has an unerring accuracy that borders superhuman. Internally leaked documents from the COBRA Organization indicate this is partially due to his immense strength given his more average frame. COBRA Operative Skullbuster is quoted as saying he is “like a natural steady-cam”. Fellow team member Interrogator in his report to new field commander Krake comments “Gallows is extremely effective, but not mission-focused. He has a personal agenda of generating the highest casualty count possible and oft requires a tight leash” We do not know much about Gallows life before his service to COBRA. Like his teammates, he showed a great aptitude at his given MOS before being flagged for the PLAGUE. He holds the distinction of being one of the “Original Three” horsemen which proved the PLAGUE concept.
Remarks: “At first we thought Gallows was another in the line of the combat androids that COBRA is known for. He sported a rotary barreled machine gun and shifted fields of fire with ease. While a guy like Rock n’ Roll or Roadblock could also do that, what makes him different is his eerie accuracy. I was a member of a rapid intervention team that was called in after Gallows sprung a trap on an unsuspecting Steel Brigade fire team. He drew out three more Steel Brigade Troopers after hitting the first soldier directly in the knee from a distance of at least 850 meters. It took air support from a drone to get him to bug out. I’d like to square up on him without his minigun.” - Sgt. Sherwood C. “Benchpress” McConnell, US Army, ID# 959-13-CM53
Codename: Grimskull
Real Name: CLASSIFIED
Role: Medical Officer
Primary Specialty: Grenadier, Medic
Secondary Specialty: CBRN Weapons Specialist, Arid Climate Specialist
Combat History: MS Biochemistry U of Cairo, Egyptian Army
COBRA Training Qualifications: Viper, Desert Viper, Sand Viper, Medi-Viper, Fellow with the COBRA Science Division
Known History: The operative is known as Grimskull and has a Master's degree from the University of Cairo in Biochemistry. Prior to his mercenary work, he served as an officer in the Egyptian Army while simultaneously studying as a doctoral student. However, he was removed from his medical program for ethical concerns. After his removal and subsequent discharge from the Eygptian Army, he fell off the radar for six months before appearing in surveillance photos at a COBRA training facility in Sudan. His experience and history slotted him directly into te the Desert Viper Corps. Excelling in that position qualified him for Sand Viper School (The COBRA Equivalent to desert scouts). His selection as one of the “Original Three” horsemen for the PLAGUE program came after his scout team was assigned to infiltrate and retrieve live samples from a Biotech research lab in the deserts of Central Africa. The mission went sideways quickly but Grimskull used materials at the lab to expose himself and mutate his teammates. This allowed the team to pursue the research into the dunes and complete their mission but his team soon succumbed to the chemical exposure. COBRA Commander was so impressed by this that Grimskull was immediately transferred to the Unit. Since his transfer, he has worked alongside Dr. Venom and Dr. Mindbender as a fellow in the Cobra Science Division regarding mutation and CBRN weaponry.
Remarks: “Grimskull would have very easily become a doctor and could have made a real difference in his home country. However, he is known to self-identify as a sadist and it is painfully apparent to those he has served with (Should any remain alive). Rumors swirl within the COBRA organization that Grimskull has an explosive device implanted in him that only COBRA Commander, Guillotine, and the newly appointed leader of the PLAGUE, Krake, have access to. This is to ensure that he doesn’t try to experiment on his PLAGUE team members.” - Captain Terrance “Grid-Iron” Lydon, US Army ID# 903-5221-YY07
Codename: Munitia
Real Name: Unconfirmed
Aliases: Fronhofer, Sarah; Stratforn, Victoria; Janke, Lynne; Ellis, Cheryl
Role: Scout, Armor Pilot
Primary Specialty: Bounty Hunter
Secondary Specialty: Armor Pilot
Combat History: Unconfirmed
COBRA Training Qualifications: Blue Shirt, HISS Driver, HISS Scout, Viper, H.I.S.S. (Hierarchy of Infiltration, Stealth and Sabotage)
Known History: By all accounts, Munitia is one of the youngest PLAGUE members and COBRA Operators. Those around her immediately note her cold and unemotional nature. This also means she has an unplaceable accent but speaks multiple languages. Though not quite into her thirties, Munitia has spent over fifteen years with the COBRA Organization. Internal reports suggest that she was drafted from a small Balkan village where, as a teen, she already had experience driving and maintaining armored vehicles. She started a Blue Shirt and was quickly transferred to the HISS Corps. Her time with the COBRA Armored Division was brief, however, as COBRA contractor Firefly quickly identified her even temper and ferocity in combat. He took her under his tutelage as part of his H.I.S.S. (Hierarchy of Infiltration, Stealth, and Sabotage) initiative (considered an early predecessor to the PLAGUE concept) with fellow new recruit Blackout. Though the three still work closely together, Munitia created a niche for herself tracking down AWOL COBRA operatives as an in-house bounty hunter. This role was previously and exclusively held by Major Bludd and his Skull Squad causing the two to develop a strong rivalry. As the PLAGUE was fleshed out Muntia and Blackout were added to the roster together.
Remarks: “Munitia seems to be the PLAGUE’s swiss army knife. She has expertise in armored vehicle operation, maintenance, and electrical systems repair as well as top-notch skills as a special forces operator. In the few times we have had her in custody she is extremely flat and cold, a VERY hard read. Her role as a bounty hunter within the COBRA organization means she doesn’t have too many friends at work, yet they take great risks to free her. This proves you don’t have to be liked to be deemed valuable.” - 1st Lt. Kenneth “Psych-Out” Rich, US Army, ID# 091-87-6274
