--------------------

It is presumed that Copperhead is native to or otherwise intimately familiar with the Florida Everglades and the rain forests of the Amazon basin. Intelligence sources venture a guess that he raced speedboats in high stakes races in Monaco and Japan. His major weakness is gambling. Odds are that got started by placing bets on his own races. Apparently he compounded his folly by selling his services to Cobra in hopes of paying off his bookies. Rumor has it that he is even in debt to Cobra for a large sum of money, amounts of which are deducted out of his weekly paychecks. Copperhead's skill makes him a dangerous man; he can maneuver a swamp boat around turns that would scrap most vehicles, pirate off a maritime vessel before they knew he was there, and survive a week in the Amazon with nothing more than a bowie knife, a tarp, and a deck of cards. Copperhead's gambling makes him even more dangerous; he's up to his neck in debt, and he's willing to take any risk and stab any back to get himself out!

"Sure...I know the type. They're all around the Gulf Coast. Trash. Drifters. They can drive a swamp buggy like the devil himself, rebuild a V-8 with a coat hanger and spit, and fight all night and raise Cain 'til the cock crows. They got a heart fulla gimme and a mouth full o' much obliged. Live hard and fast is Copperhead's motto, and he stands by it 100%."
