Born with a natural talent for mimicry, Faces amused his fellow recruits during basic training with his uncanny imitations of the drill sergeants and company cadre. He was doing a brutally accurate impression of the First Sergeant, when that self-same top-kick caught him in the act. Instead of drawing punishment duty, Faces found himself before an evaluation board and was summarily whisked off to a top-secret intelligance school where they taught him how to sculpt life-like masks, apply make-up, and generally transform himself into whoever he wanted to be. Other infiltrators need a long time to study their subject before they can assume their identities. Faces needs only a few minutes to become the subject. Being a qualified expert with pistol and commando knife comes in handy if COBRA sees through his deception. but that is rarely the case. His many impersonations have gained the team much valuable information on the enemy - as well as extra leave time when he impersonated Duke and signed his own leave request form.

"I'm only successful if I'm undetected. Eevn if I do get caught out, I can still remain undercover as long as I beat the COBRA who caught me out - and that's a given."
