In addition to leading the G.I. Joe DEF (Drug Elimination Force), he is also an official federal marshall. Before being assigned to the G.I. Joe team, he served with the Drug Enforcement Agency in the Caribbean, the “Golden Triangle” and Central America. His code name resulted from his enemies, as they observed how he remained unscathed while leading his men through firefights.
