BIG TEP. A bandit chief in a small country in Southeast Asia. He was also a known criminal involved in smuggling and extortion, among other things. Big Tep started a revolt against the rule of General Lom, the country's communist dictator. He tended to frighten farmers and villagers into supporting him. He eventually became a real threat to Lom thanks to Destro, who sold him weapons and vehicles, as well as a small group of advisors from his army of Iron Grenadiers. General Lom was given assistance by the Soviets' October Guard to stop Big Tep's uprising.
Members of the Joe team -- Chuckles, Scarlett, Iceberg and Snake-Eyes -- got involved in the struggle when Snake-Eyes stopped some of Big Tep's bandits from beating up an old farmer. The bandits who survived their first encounter with the Joes exaggerated their numbers and brought a small army of bandits and Iron Grenadiers to the old man's farm to stop them. They were met there by the October Guard. The Iron Grenadiers chased off the Soviets, leaving Big Tep and his men to find the Joes, who were hidden in the farmer's house. When Big Tep threatened to kill the old farmer, the Joes came out of hiding and easily dealt with the bandits. Big Tep was killed, and his revolution presumably died with him. (SM 18)

ABBOT OF THE HIDDEN MONASTERY. The head of a monastery in the legendary Valley of the Eternal Mists; hidden in the Himalayas near the kingdom of Chomo-Lungma, a protectorate of the People's Republic of China. The abbot helped the Joes Chuckles, Iceberg, Scarlett and Snake-Eyes, who were sent with C.I.A. Agent Anderson to find the missing Agent Cullen Esterhazy. Chinese officer Colonel Peng captured the abbot and the monastery in an effort to capture Esterhazy, who had become a freedom fighter resisting Chinese rule. A pacifist, the abbot was upset to see his monastery become a battle ground between the Joes allied with Esterhazy's bandits and Peng's army. After Peng was defeated and Esterhazy killed, Anderson stayed behind with the abbot to help the natives

Code:
File Name: Alessandro D. Verdi Birthplace:Carcare, Italy Rank: Sergeant Military Specialties: Telecommunications, Archivist, Interpreter, Information Technology Status: Active First Appearance: G.I. JOE: Special Missions: Manhattan (February 2006) Alessandro Verdi -- Alex to his friends -- is the son of a former United States ambassador to Italy. He was born during one of his family's extended periods of time spent overseas. Growing up traveling through Europe, Alex developed a love of language, and being fluent in three by age nine. When his family returned to America permanently, he began studying languages formally and made his way to Harvard where he graduated from with full honors. He eventually joined the Army as an interpreter, hoping he could work for peace within the military, despite being an avowed pacifist. He is also extremely well-read, and over the years has authored over fifteen bestselling books. Verdi later took a position as a translator at the Pentagon, where he began working with General Lawrence Flagg during the initial formation of the G.I. Joe team. By then he had picked up the nickname, "Sparks". Sparks' skills reached beyond simple translation into the realm of information technology and communications, and his skills proved invaluable in assisting Flagg in finding suitable candidates for the new team. Steeler, in particular, owed his inclusion on the team to Sparks' recommendation. Sparks also played a part in uncovering evidence that a corrupt General had paid mercenaries to attempt to kill Clayton "Hawk" Abernathy who had recently been court-martialed. Flagg and Sparks used that evidence to blackmail the General into dropping the charges against Hawk, freeing him to become field commander of the Joe team. Sparks is also one of the few people who know of the existence of the team's top secret fourteenth member, the late Shooter. Sparks was eventually given a permanent reserve position as the Joes' liaison to the Pentagon. He never served in the field, but worked behind the scenes during all incarnations of the team. He occasionally spent time at the team's original headquarters, where he met the Joe jungle trooper, Recondo. Always somewhat of a loner, Recondo struck up a friendship with Sparks when he recognized his name, having read many of his books. The two friends would often spend time discussing and debating great literary works. Sparks continued his work for the Joes even during the years they were decommissioned. When the latest incarnation of the team was established, Sparks chose to relocate all operations to the team's new headquarters, The Rock, under the command of General Joe Colton. Now that the team operates with a smaller roster, Sparks' job includes coordinating with the various reserve members of the team. He is also responsible for maintaining the team's Data Desk database. During one mission, the team encountered mercenary Major Bludd, who boasted about recently having killed a Joe. After confirming the whereabouts of a number of missing members of the team, only one missing Joe remained: Recondo. Sparks decided to head out into the field to find his friend, and made his way to a Tucaro village in Sierra Gordo, where he was told Bludd fought with and killed Recondo. The saddened Joe returned to headquarters, but he soon received an e-mail message from Recondo. The postscript of the message included a personal reference to one of their private literary debates, proving Recondo was still alive. He explained that he asked the Tucaros to lie to anyone who came looking for him and asked Sparks to record him as officially dead in the Joe team's records, allowing him to secretly act against Cobra. Sparks has presumably kept the information to himself, and is the only person besides the Tucaros who knows that Recondo is still alive. Sparks was at The Rock when the base was invaded by the Phoenix Guard, a team of U.S. commandos that turned out to be Cobra agents in disguise. Sparks did his best to purge the Data Desk to prevent it from being accessed by the invaders before he sustained number of injuries, including severe damage to his left leg. The Joes eventually defeated the Phoenix Guard, but several Joes were injured and many members of the Joes' support staff were killed. Sparks is currently recovering from these wounds, but still serving the team in his usual capacity during his rehabilitation. Following the incident, Colton ordered the Joes to go on leave to recover from their ordeal. Since Sparks was too far from home for a short leave, he was invited to stay at the home of Joe Colton and his wife, Jane.

CLOUDBURST. The code name used by U.S. Army Sergeant Chuck Ram. Born in San Diego, Cloudburst was a skilled stealth glider designer. He was briefly a member of the G.I. Joe team and flew an Air Commando combat glider. Most of Cloudburst's missions remain classified. Cloudburst, like most former Joes, is currently a reserve member of the team. (GI 118) Wednesday, 20 February 2008
FIREWALL. The code name used by G.I. Joe team recruit Michelle LaChance. While growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Firewall had a knack for computers, and once hacked into the high school records of an enemy, altering her grades so that she was not in the running for class valedictorian. She was never caught, and liked the rush of being able to ruin an uncaring braggart. She continued hacking into computer systems, eventually chaging credit card numbers and bank accounts of government officials. She stayed undetected for some time, until she hacked her way into U.S. Army computers and discovered the Army's experimental nano-mite program. She was arrested by the Feds, but they realized they could make use of her skills and she began working for the government. Firewall was put on temporary assignment with the G.I. Joe team to help put a stop to Cobra's nano-mites. She and fellow hacker, Daemon, both stayed with the team longer, working with the Joes' resident computer expert, Mainframe. The Joes' drill sergeant, Beach Head began running the programmers through a training program should they ever see combat. Firewall stuck to mostly computer work, while Daemon worked to become a soldier. He and Firewall used their skills to assist in several missions, including the fight to stop terrorist Tyler Wingfield. Daemon and Firewall displayed their immaturity when working together, with a relationship like two squabbling siblings. On their first field assignment, Firewall and Daemon helped drive the vehicle carrying a group of children who were revealed to be the clones of Serpentor. The Joes' convoy of vehicles was unexpectedly attacked by the forces of the revived Serpentor, known at The Coil. The main vehicle was torn to pieces and Serpentor arrived to liberate his brothers inside. When Daemon tried to stop him, the former Cobra Emperor grabbed him by the throat and snapped his neck, killing him, and as Firewall and Roadblock looked on in shock. The remaining Joes were taken prisoner and held on Cobra Island until an invasion force arrived to battle The Coil. The battle was won, and the Joes headed home, later having a ceremony for their lost teammates, who included Mainframe. Firewall later assisted Barrel Roll remotely when he hacked into Cobra Island's computer system. Some time later, during a battle against Cobra, Hawk was shot in the back by Cobra Commander and paralyzed. In Hawk's absence, the Jugglers began to take control of the team to reign in it, if not disband it altogether. Eventually, the team's roster was cut down to only a dozen Joes including Firewall. That small team defended the new Pit against Cobra's attack, but Firewall and most of those Joes were quickly reassigned to other units. After the remaining Joes stopped a plot by Cobra to unleash the weapon known as the Tempest, and defeated a new threat, the Red Shadows, the military again disbanded the team. One year later, the Joe team was reformed with a smaller roster of active members. Firewall, like most former Joes, is a reserve member of the new team. Much of the Joes' current headquarters, The Rock, was designed by Firewall and the late Mainframe. Firewall was called back to work with the team to assist General Colton in his attempt to hack into encrypted files to find Duke's whereabouts. She was still at The Rock when the team was invaded by the Phoenix Guard, a team of U.S. commandos that turned out to be Cobra agents in disguise. The Joes eventually defeated them, but Firewall was severely injured and is now recovering.
