Because of his odd ball sense of humor and laid back disposition, Danco is one of those guys that you'd think had dropped out of high school and spent his life flipping burgers for minimum wage, but he's quite the opposite. In fact, he graduated from MIT but grew bored with the "brainiac" lifestyle and joined the Army as a social experiment and found he really liked the work involved, especially how much the military relied on the sciences to get their job done. After passing the Ranger course as first in his class and later passing the SFOD-D indoctrination, Danco was suddenly discharged from the military for severe insubordination and sent to Leavenworth, KS to break large rocks into smaller rocks. That was the official story. In reality, Danco was asked to join a group of mercenaries friendly to the US and its allies. The US doesn't acknowledge the mercenary team but uses them whenever the SEALs, SFOD-D or even the G.I.*JOE team can't be used. Led by the mysterious female leader, Tabedooa, the team conducts operations of sabotage, information gathering and assassination.

"One of his favorite things to do with his rifle is to find a target and see how quickly he can calculate the target's speed and where he needs to aim, taking into consideration environmental conditions and surrounding wind speeds and try to hit his target with only one round. He typically comes back from missions with left over ammo because he is so percise."

This custom is interesting to me as I won a lot of figures and vehicles on eBay and the seller accidentally included him. I asked, but he didn't want the figure back. All I got was the head and body, minus the lower arms, so I found a set of good lower arms from a Shipwreck in my fodder bin and replaced the hands with those of Firefly since the Shipwreck hands were almost as bad as the first 25th Viper's twisted hands. I finished the camo paint job and thought that PoC Duke's gear would look good on him. So, while I can't take 100% credit for this guy being original, I simply finished up what someone else had started.
