PARLAY was made with the idea of an ex-Irish Republican Army field commander who grew disenchanted with his role in fighting for a "diluted cause which had lost it's focus." During his years with the I.R.A. Parlay had been actively recruited by COBRA but felt their cause was unjust and despised their "tacky uniforms."
Parlay is the truest form of an Irish Countryman, but after leaving the I.R.A. he was considered by many insiders to be a traitor. To escape the bounty placed on his head, he turned to a distant and long lost cousin, Shana O'Hara (Scarlett) for help. The G.I. Joe Command, recognizing the value of Parlay's knowledge of the inner workings of a terrorist organization granted him asylum in trade for his services in the battle against COBRA and global terrorism.
Parlay's experience and position in the I.R.A. grants him a rank equivalent to O-3 (Capt.) on the GI Joe team.
