CODE NAME: Mercer
FILE NAME: Felix p. Stratton
PRIMARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Intelligence
SECONDARY MILITARY SPECIALTY: Small Arms Armorer
BIRTHPLACE: London, England
RANK: N/A, though he achieved E-6 (Staff Sergeant) as an Alley Viper.

The illegitimate son of a soldier killed in the Falklands, Felix P. Stratton grew up poor in a South London housing project. A very smart, sensitive, but ultimately troubled kid, he was astutely aware of the miserable conditions that surrounded him and began to lash out at the world at an early age. He joined the local chapter of the Dreadnoks at fourteen while doing time in a juvenile detention facility. By twenty three, he was a staff sergeant in charge of one of the initial squads of Alley Vipers.

While he initially found a career as an elite, professional soldier in an illegal army rewarding, reality started catching up with him after a few years. Life in the cobra legions is fraught with treachery. Over the years, he'd been ordered to kill nearly every single leader he'd ever had. He started to realize that it was only a matter of time until another dead end kid was sent to punch his clock.

The final straw came when his unit was ordered to participate in an operation in which Toxo-Vipers would release a potent and extremely lethal neurotoxin into the water supply of a popular British resort in the Bahamas in order to distract the authorities while the Crimson Guard would seize assets from the country's off-shore banking system. He hijacked a hydrofoil, drove it to Guantanamo and surrendered to the CIA.

Mercer now works as an advisor, interrogator and operator for Project: Renegade, a Cobra-centric unit within the CIA's Special Activities Division tasked with recruiting double agents, training, inserting, extracting and debriefing deep cover operatives, and deniable operations.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
I wasn't really that big on the Big Bad exclusive renegades/marauders set, but wanted my own version of Mercer. I based the mods I did to the vest on the second and third Alley Viper molds instead of just giving him POC alley viper gear to reference his old unit, but not seem like a basic gear swap. The sheath is a little on the big side, but it works.
