"My bite is worse than my bark."
Civil and sophisticated yet very cruel and destructive.
Approaches his lethal tasks like a fine artist. Each deadly mission
is like working on a new masterpiece. Can pinpoint and photograph
a thumbtack from 20 miles away. Flies at 250mph. Carries twin mortar
cannons. Diamond-hard, micro-serrated beak can carve up almost any
opponent. Due to large ego, will often sulk rather than proceed
if his plans go astray.
