Head: 25th HoH Zartan (Hood trimmed & Painted)
Collar: RoC Destro (trimmed & painted) Jacket: RoC The Doctor (Modded for length and posing) Arms: RoC Destro Torso/Upper Legs: RoC Eel (no mods) Knees: Unknown - (mod to fit upper legs) Lower Legs & Feet: 25th HoH Zartan (painted) Armor: DoCI Night Creeper (trimmed & glued to chest and stomach) In my 'verse . . . . The Dreadnoks’ antics finally caught up with Zartan. Cobra, as a whole, is a much more competent organization presently. Across the board failures before would often blend together. The incompetence by those fronted by Zartan could no longer be accepted within Cobra. It’s been months since Zandar disappeared, since Torch blew himself up in his own Chop Shop, since Ripper left. And just weeks ago, Zartan disguised as a doctor, watched Buzzer flat line in a hospital bed after his final overdose on drugs. Ripper is overseas operating on his own, which to Zartan was reasonable as he was the most loyal and competent during his time as a Dreadnok. Zarana is ‘retired’, spending her days raising her niece. The other Dreadnoks dispersed long ago, and probably never to be seen by Zartan again. In Cobra’s ranks all is going well, except for Zartan. He has been reduced to fewer missions, which used to come directly from the Commander himself. These missions became limited to “providing the distraction - should it be required” while other Cobra agents executed the necessary mission. Destro and MARS are as successful as ever, the most recent success has come from Mindbender’s collaboration to upgrade Major Bludd’s cybernetics in his eye and arm. Bludd left his post as Viper instructor, where he became more learned on the Mercenary game from an academic aspect. And that has led to his renowned success in Cobra lately. Extensive Enterprises is flourishing under Tomax and Xamot. They have decidedly conducted operations separate from each other to ensure balance. Tomax is leading the Elite Vipers, and Xamot the Crimson Guard in a way that has catapulted Cobra to the level they operate at now. Storm Shadow and Firefly still get all the good assignments, ones Zartan used to receive as well. Even the Baroness, and her newfound passion for all things Cobra, is receiving the assassination, sabotage, and facility take-over missions. Her success is primarily based on the extreme competence of her main tactical support, Mercer. Mercer is the best tactical operative in all of Cobra for what he does. And what he does specifically now is ensure the Baroness can conduct her mission with no distractions at all. If she needs a window to set up a sniper rifle, he clears the building, and provides the clear escape route. When it comes to infiltration and extraction, Mercer is the best. Zartan has recently come up with a plan. He needs the action, and he needs it to be lucrative. Destro would be the perfect candidate. He has the money. He has the girl. And Zartan has the target, and will use Destro’s jealousy to create the contract for the hit. Mercer will be the target.
