Codename: Mako
File Name: Spencer, John
Primary Military Specialty: Underwater Demolitions
Birthplace: Invercargill, New Zealand
Put simply - The Renegades don't officially exist. They are a toolshed and considered a necessary evil by the Jugglers. Their mission success can never be recognized nor can their failures ever be linked to any specific military division or unit.
Mako is a former Cobra Eel who has seen the light. Over time, he grew disillusioned of Cobra and its allure. He finally left Cobra when his Eel squad turned on him during a mission and left him to die. That betrayal only helped to fuel his rage. Mako tracked down each one of his former Eel teammates to exact his revenge.
Sgt. Slaughter - "I got to admit. I didn't think much of Mako when Mercer first recruited him. He's got one nasty attitude, some serious trust issues and a possible homicidal streak. But, he is dependable and always up to fighting Cobra. When I am through with him, he's gonna be perfect!"
Background Concept:
This is my custom entry from the NJ Joe Meet 2011 Grab Bag. I ended up attempting a former Eel and tried to capture a v1 eel look (kind of like how Mercer is similar to the V1 Viper).
