Stalker

Stalker grew up in Detroit, Michigan where he was a leader of a large street gang. At some point, he turned his life around and joined the US Army and became a member of the Ranger forces. His fluency in Spanish, French, Arabic and Swahili coupled with his experience in commanding other people made him a valuable asset. When he joined the G.I. Joe Team, he often served as leader in their many missions.

Prior to joining G.I. Joe, he served on the same LRRP team as Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow did during their tour in the Vietnam War. Their experience there made them the best of friends. After their tour, only Stalker stayed in the military while Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow went on a long sabbatical training in the art of the ninja. Years later, Stalker, along with Hawk, would be responsible for selecting the members that would comprise the original Joe team. He was, in effect, serving as second in command to Hawk until Duke came on board.
