| IDENTITY: |

Colonel William Lynch

| D.O.B: |

August 17^th, 1967

| ROLE: |

Head of the Military Police Tracking the A-team

| SKILLSET: |

Lynch has nearly a decade leading the Army's military police. He is a skilled MP and soldier. He is skilled at giving and receiving orders. He is a strictly by the books operator and his track record is nearly unblemished. He is very respected by the men and women who serve under him and a true asset to the Army.

| PERSONALITY: |

Lynch is a hard working man. His job comes first before anything else. He puts his hear and soul into the Army. His greatest ambition is to become a General. Hannibal often remarked that Lynch lacked imagination amongst other less pleasant descriptors. However the man isn't stupid. He just doesn't think as out of the box as Hannibal and his team does. He is a by-the-books operator and often expects other people to follow the same modus operandi. His methodical nature is extremely beneficial in his position and to the Army. It was the reason why he's a Lt. Col with an excellent chance of becoming a General. He believes that capturing the A-team will also net him a promotion. In some ways Lynch is Hannibal's foil.

| BACKGROUND: |

Lynch was born in a middle class family. He attended the military academy, entered the Army as an officer and worked his way up the ranks. When he was in his mid twenties he married a woman. She eventually left him, not understanding his dedication to the job. She accused him of not loving her. Lynch let her go. Not because he didn't love her, but because she was right. The job came first.

Lynch never fund it in himself to remarry or even date after that instead pouring everything he had into his service. When the A-team escaped he was assigned to the case because he was the best man for the job.

_{“ I love it when a plan comes together. ”

| IDENTITY: |

Janice "Hannibal" Smith

| D.O.B: |

December 1^st, 1966

| ROLE: |

Leader

| SKILLSET: |

Hannibal's biggest asset to the team aside from being the leader is being the tactician. No matter the situation she can pull out a plan and have it, more or less, work. Of course when the plan does fall through Hannibal will always have a backup plan or will make up one off the cuff. There's no lack of ideas floating through her brain in combat situations. And she's never afraid to use her team's abilities to their fullness.

Another asset is that Hannibal is a self-named "master of disguise". She mainly uses this ability to screen clients to make sure they're legit. Most of the time Hannibal doesn't bother masquerading as a man, since as a woman she is usually under estimated. And she likes that.

The last asset she has is her knowledge of field medicine. It's not much, but during a few of her tours she picked up enough to keep her men alive until they can get proper medical treatment.

| PERSONALITY: |

Hannibal is a quintessential Tomboy. She's basically an adrenaline junkie at heart. Even before she enlisted she was picking fight with the boys and proving she was their superior. It wasn't necessarily that Hannibal felt she needed to prove herself against the boys being a woman. It was always the thrill on taking on someone bigger than her and winning. That doesn't mean that she does put up with sexism. Gender doesn't matter with Hannibal, she expects everyone to haul their weight evenly.

Hannibal loves a good challenge. A good challenge is a situation where there is no easy way. Taking time to think of a plan is almost as fun as putting the plan into motion. She likes to meet challenges head on and often times her work arounds are just as crazy as Murdock. During these times those around her call her rush "the jazz".

Hannibal is often characterized as being unflappable. She never shows weakness in any situation. She doesn't sweat out of fear. Nor does she beg. Rather she usually has a flippant remark prepared. She also likes to hear herself talk, which sometimes results in monologuing. Much to her team's dismay.

| BACKGROUND: |

Hannibal was the only child of her parents. Her father, a prominent military General wanted a son and was disappointed that he never got one. Her mother often tried to get pregnant again to please her husband, but after two miscarriages she finally stopped trying out of fear for her health.

As a young girl Hannibal was often seen playing sports. She played anything she could get away with, including a fledgling female football tram that didn't last long. Sports did nothing to itch her adrenaline drive. It only served to make her dissatisfied with being mollycoddled. Her father was secretly pleased with Hannibal's less than feminine pursuits. He taught her how to fight and enrolled her in a few boxing classes. When she was seventeen she joined the military.

Hannibal thrived in the military. She loved the challenge it presented. At first it appeared her career would go nowhere. Sexism was rampant in the military at the time. However the woman didn't let it stop her. She proved she was the best through her zany plans when her troop was deployed in the Middle East. Eventually Hannibal had herself transferred over special ops.

By the time she achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel she was leading her own ODA, Operational Detachments Alpha, or A-team. She hand picked her special forces team out of the men and women she served with. In their last disastrous off the books mission Hannibal watched her team of twelve become a team of four. Herself included in that number.

When they returned to their FOB, Forward Operating Base, the four were arrested. They were then tried for war crimes and imprisoned. Hannibal broke them out with a vow to clear their names of the charge. She owed her men that much.

| IDENTITY: |

Dirk "Faceman" Brenner

| D.O.B: |

July 15^th, 1983

| ROLE: |

Frontman and Procurer

| SKILLSET: |

Face is perhaps the most versatile of the team. His role is pretty much whatever Hannibal requires. He is mainly the Face of their operations. He acts as bait, conman, front-man, and hustler. He is also responsible for getting the team whatever they need. Be it anything from an airplane to guns. Often his channels are highly illegal and sometimes dangerous.

Another one of his singular skills is his way with money. He handles the team's accounts, keeps the money in a constant shuffle and untraceable, their paychecks and any other money that comes their way. Face is extremely good with money, even off paper, able to factor large amounts in seconds.

Like the other members in the team Face is handy with all sorts of guns. Though he tends to prefer those of a heavier caliber. Such as a 9mm or .45.

When Hannibal is not available Face is the second in command and responsible for planning plans. He also has his own meager skill in disguises, but he isn't as good as Hannibal.

| PERSONALITY: |

Face is the realist of the group. He tends to see things how they are. Which is probably why he's the defacto second. He never assumes the best going into a situation. Whenever Hannibal comes up with a crazy, off the wall plan, Face loves to complain about it. To an outsider it would look like Face was trying to get out of it. But in all reality the man just loves to complain and point out what could go wrong. Years ago someone once commented that Face was happiest when he had something to complain about.

All around Face is a generally a happy man. He loves the finer things in life. Name brand clothes, wine, men, women, etc.

Face is the least likely member of the A-team to want to fight. He tends to avoid conflict. Most of the time he'd rather try and settle it with talking. Which usually never works out. The reasoning to avoid fighting is usually along the lines of ruining his clothes, hair, what have you. Or even that fighting is a nuisance. However that wont stop him from sacrificing those things to help the team if the occasion calls for it.

| BACKGROUND: |

Face had a hard childhood. As a young boy he lived at St. Mary's. An orphanage run by the Catholic church. He first came to St. Mary's at the age of five. Despite his best efforts the man can't remember much before that point. The name he gave was Dirk Brenner. To this day Face doesn't believe that is his real name. Because of that belief he has assumed many names. Some rather mundane, others on the more esoteric side. Such as Templeton Peck.

Brenner joined the Army as soon as he was of age, eager to get away from LA and the Orphanage. By the age of twenty-one Brenner had made a name for himself on his Army base. Word quickly spread that Brenner was the go-to guy for any of your more esoteric needs. It wasn't until he continued the trend on his first overseas assignment that he came to the attention of the special ops team. He was quickly moved into the special forces Operational Detachments Alpha, ODA as another weapons specialist. In the ODA he meet Hannibal, Murdock and B.A along with men he would soon conciser a family of sorts.

After their last mission went wrong the four survivors of their detachment escaped. Upon returning to the Army they were arrested and imprisoned in spite of their testimonies. After spending half a year incarcerated Hannibal lead them to freedom. With their new found freedom they became Mercenaries for hire. Though that was just a means to an end. Their goal is to clear their name and to no longer be on the run.

Over the ensuing time as a small four man team, it cemented for Face the fact that these people were his family. Not blood related, but chosen.

BARACUS

| IDENTITY: |

Bariah Aldnoah “Bad Attitude” Baracus

| D.O.B: |

May 21^st, 1984

| ROLE: |

Engineer

| SKILLSET: |

Mechanical Prodigy: Baracus despite the challenges of her gender has always understood the mechanical and the electrical; almost as if she was born partially a machine. Her talent and skill with a wrench and a drill is second to few and has earned her accolades from her comrades, family, and superiors. Murdock calls her a “Lady MacGyver” and for very valid reasons— if you need it built or fixed, she’s the one you go to.

CQC Expert: Since she was small, Baracus had to fight through life due to gender conventions telling her what to be and people trying to force her to be it. Even before the army she knew how to fight and fight well— it was just honed in the armed forces.

Expert Driver: If it has four wheels, Baracus can drive it as well as Murdock can fly a helicopter upside-down. Whether it is a car, van, truck, or something in-between she has an aptitude for driving it and making sure whoever is on their tail isn’t by the end of the pursuit.

| PERSONALITY: |

Baracus is loud, independent, and generally… fierce. Due to her childhood and the sexist jabs in the armed forces, she has learned that the best way to shut somebody up is to put them in the ground; a fact that would’ve gotten her discharged long ago had she not been so valuable to the military through her expertise as an engineer and a driver. She’s prone to violence but isn’t all too much of an idiot— she knows when her temper is controlling her, but realistically she also knows how to channel it. Some people are heavily against her aggressive attitude, but others contemplate that had it been a man with the same bite that they wouldn’t be having the conversation of thinking it odd.

Additionally, Baracus has a no-nonsense attitude with an abrasive yet blunt font to her comments. If she has an opinion of something she’s going to say it and you are going to hear it even if you don’t want to. But if you give good orders and line up with the values that she believes in you will be unlikely to find her as your enemy.

She is also a firm against drug abuse, alcoholism, and profane indulgences— if you are mad, be mad; but being profane is only going to lower your intelligence in the long run. This extends to her strong sense of guardianship over children no matter their race or gender; a fact that Murdock has joked about in the past with comments such as “protect the babies!” and “mother goose” but Baracus has heard worse names actually meant to insult her so she thinks little of it even if she has little patience for Murdock’s insane behavior.

| BACKGROUND: |

Bariah “Bad Attitude” Baracus was born in a rough neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois during the spring of 1984. The only child of a single mother, Bariah’s home was in a low income apartment development in the inner city for the majority of her childhood— a fact that would carve her into the woman she would become.

Bariah grew up in the company of other children of the projects and had a tolerable albeit rough experience. Between her initial dislike of her neighbors and the solitude of being alone whilst her mother worked late nights for the majority of the week; there wasn’t much of an idyllic childhood for the young girl and her discontent of it became abundantly clear as she began getting into fights with boys and girls alike who would taunt her about her mother. Fights that would happen to define her temper but also introduce her to her passion— electrical engineering.

This happened when she was pulled off a boy during one of these fights by a maintenance man by the name of Bosco who would serve as the girl’s sole father figure and mentor. The realization that not only that fixing stuff with her hands was calming was cathartic and when Bosco realized the girl was naturally gifted in his field he began serving as her tutor in the field, filling the gap for a sadness that was in him some years back when his own daughter got killed accidentally. So he taught the girl how to use a wrench and taught her his trade. He also would go on to eventually teach her how to properly throw a punch. Bariah started to do better in school and got into less fights; she was focused and inspired.

Eager to get out of the projects and in the shadow of 9/11, Bariah felt herself inspired— the vicious terrorism sprung a fire in her and she found herself wanting to bring her years of putting idiot kids in the ground into real use. Her volatile temper got her into several rough situations with her drill instructor during training but eventually it was discovered that Bariah was particularly talented as an engineer, mechanic, and technician. Eventually she ended up in Iraq.

Assigned to a special operations team after showing a resilience in the field as well as mechanical genius on & off, Bariah found herself among new squadmates and around less people who patronized her for being a “tomboy” among other assertions. Bariah found herself doing very well on the squad, befriending many of them until the squad’s dismissal and a supposed indictment. Her commander promised her that her name would be cleared and they escaped from captivity.

The rest is history.

• 1984: Bariah Aldnoah Baracus is born in Chicago, Illinois.
• 2002: At the age of eighteen years old, Baracus joins the United States Armed Forces.
• 2003: Baracus is deployed to Iraq.

MURDOCK

_{“I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.”

| IDENTITY: |

Henry Matthew “Howling Mad” Murdock

| D.O.B: |

March 1^st, 1978

| ROLE: |

Pilot

| SKILLSET: |

Piloting: Murdock is an expert pilot and can pretty much fly pretty much anything, or so he says. Taking away the bravado, there isn’t much to dispute that claim— Murdock has staunch experience with small craft airplanes, helicopters, construction vehicles, and motorcycles. Whilst he is not as skilled as Baracus in more forward ground vehicles he is a good option is needed to be their #2 driver. Generally if it can be driven, piloted, or sailed Murdock can figure it out well enough to consistently evade pursuit.

Soldier: It comes to no surprise that Murdock is a skilled soldier given his experience in the armed forces— he’s a crack shot, skilled in CQC, is tactically intelligent, and has been conditioned to be a soldier since he was young.

Genius Intelligence: Previous commanders have cited Murdock’s intelligence being “ridiculous” in scope, a fact that is reinforced given his comprehensive understanding, adept skills at acting a part, knowledge of the morse code, and his memorization of several languages and histories from multiple cultures. It’s presumed he has a photographic memory, but it’s hard to say for sure.

| PERSONALITY: |

Murdock is a notorious personality with a reputation for his eccentric and esoteric ways of looking at situations, though while some previous commanders cited it as “outside of the box” thinking others simply viewed it as “insane, eccentric behavior that are incompatible with any unit”. Whichever the case may be, Murdock gets the job done even if he adds a bit quirk in how he does it and interacts with his fellow soldiers. There is often debate that if Murdock is actually unfit for service or if he’s just channeling the appearance of a madman to get a dismissal— and really it is difficult to say one way or the other due to how he reacts in one situation and then another. But if you ask Murdock if he believes he is crazy he will just tell you that insanity is just a state of mind; a comment that is either concerning or amusing.

Madness aside, Murdock is a good soldier and a particularly moral individual if you put his eccentric quirks aside. He values the liberties of others and is eager to help the less than privileged in a situation even if there seems to be little logic in joining the fight. During his time on the squad following their vigilante activities he has stood up for the homeless, the disabled, and others where they could not for themselves which even Baracus has admitted is the “sanest” behavior Murdock has ever given. But Murdock will often do the sanest thing in the most insane fashion, of course.

Murdock is generally jovial and enjoys the lighter things in life— cartoons, comic books, making light of bad scenarios, impressions of characters from various art media, absurdist humor, and loud hectic laughing. However these tendencies to be “the living embodiment of a cartoon character” does put him at odds with some of his squadmates and the people they help with these people often looking like Murdock like he’s drug-addled or an alcoholic. But neither is the case in reality. Murdock is just… Murdock.

| BACKGROUND: |

Henry “Howling Mad” Murdock was born in an upper class neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland during the winter of 1978. The third of a bundle of six, Henry’s childhood was one of which where he had to stand out from the youngest and eldest siblings that he was surrounded by. Though Henry’s family was affluent, Henry was always the “odd duck” of the Murdock family— a fact he would embody later in life.

Stories of Henry’s childhood changes periodically; varying on who in specific he is talking to. If Henry is legitimately insane there could be a variety of reasons for this— and if he isn’t it is clear that he isn’t comfortable with the events that went on. However, what is known as far as the facts are concerned is that Henry was mentored by his uncle, James Murdock, an entrepreneur and aviation enthusiast who started up his own aviation company that has serviced privately and publicly since 1961. The line can be drawn that Henry’s initial interest in piloting can be attached to these experiences with his uncle.

Joining up with the military at the age of eighteen, Henry found his previous experience and fascination with piloting led to a successful career flying military jets and helicopters for the government’s armed forces. Eventually he found himself speeding through training and becoming a prominent member of the Thunderbirds. It was with this role in the group that Henry would refine his abilities as a trick pilot that would lead to his future handling of aircraft that would lead to several unorthodox runs that would save lives in his succeeding military career.

Following 9/11, the Thunderbolts-era for the young man was over. He was transferred over and somehow found himself assigned as a helicopter pilot over his experience as a jet pilot— the reasons of why aren’t exactly concrete. But what is factually known is that Henry started his career as a helicopter pilot over the skies of Iraq and Afghanistan in 2001.

Eventually, Henry was assigned to a special operations team after proving is skill and finesse as a pilot during the war. His “eccentric” personality aside, he was transferred and found himself an undeniable asset to the team. Henry found his personality turning some of his squad-mates off but in the end they recognized his abilities made his “eccentric” tendencies to be tolerable. Henry stuck around with the squad even after the squad’s dismissal and a supposed indictment. His commander promised him that his name would be cleared and they escaped from captivity.
