Armadillo - He was supposed to be the first in another set of vehicle drivers, but ended up being the only new one for now.
Ghost Tiger - I entered him in a really cool tournament Daremo put together on HT. I ended up with second place. The inspiration came from the name, which was considered as a potential moniker for the Night Creepers.
Here's a quick bio - Believed to have ties to both Cobra and the Pan-Asian criminal organization known as the Black Dragons, there is a scarcity of reliable info regarding the operative known only as Ghost Tiger. Thought to be a Chinese national, we've ascertained that he made his rep on the underground death match circuit before joining up with the Night Creepers. After a falling out with Aleph, he began hiring himself out in a mercenary capacity, serving as an assassin, bodyguard, and enforcer. Analysis of surveillance footage captured during a Black Dragon raid suggest that he eschews modern weaponry in favor of a particularly ferocious version of the Tiger Claw fighting style, though it is likely that he is proficient in other styles as well. The tape indicates he prefers to attack forcefully and viciously, with little regard for his own safety. He seems to favor getting in close and finishing his prey quickly through the use of claws worn on his hands and feet, as well as a nasty looking set of working fangs mounted inside his tiger mask, though the swords on his back indicate he will resort to a more pedestrian form of melee combat when necessary. An informant claims Ghost Tiger received his numerous scars in combat with an actual tiger but that can't be verified at this time. Joes operating in the Asian theater are advised to exercise extreme caution when encountering this decidedly deadly new foe.
Panther - I first learned of this guy when Jay posted his take on Sigma Six Flint, who was, according to other posters, originally supposed to be a guy called Pantha. I liked the look of the original Sigma figure and threw him together, but as a new character. I think Panther sounds cooler than Pantha, which makes me think of the dead female Titans character.
Rudiger Fürst - Hawkwood Company Headsman - I knew I wanted to make this guy way back when I first bought the Blade figure, but I put it off for some reason. I was going through my WIP box and decided it would make for a fun quickie. After a stint with Cobra (as seen in one of the first animated stories) he joined Hawkwood, where he serves as jailer, torturer and executioner.
