Primary Military Function: Military Advisor
Secondary: Infantry

Deacon has been with cobra since Vipers and Officers wore nearly-identical uniforms. He was one of the first soldiers to be promoted to the Rank of Crimson guard, but nearly turned it down since it meant he would not be on the battlefield. He was given a special CG rank directly under Tomax and Xamot as their military advisor and General. It is here than he earned the nickname Deacon, due to his rousing speeches to the troops before battle that some say sounded like a sermon. This "battlefield preacher" has literally led his troops into hundreds of battles, against both the forces of G.I. Joe, and other armies that stood against Cobra. When Cobra Commander ordered the Capture of Alqueda Middleman Fayed Kareem, the job was given to Deacon.

From the Files of Cobra Commander: "The man is Dependable and trustworthy, several qualities that you don't often find in Cobra. He is one of the few men in this army you would ask to watch your back and not worry about him shooting you in it, and unlike some of my other officers, he won't run and hide when battle gets heated. He was the perfect man to entrust that mission to. Every member of that team, even Nightstalker and Shai'tan, follow his orders, and in some way look up to him as both their commander and a fellow soldier. If only I could say the same for my other officers."

With Deacon, I wanted to make a Crimson Guard who preffered being on the Battlefeild. I wanted something that made you think CG, but had more of a Casual flare to it.
