Biography: Thomas Hancock “Inferno” (Sapper)
Born in
Liverpool on the 14th of January 1911, Hancock graduated in
chemistry. He was 22 when he joined the Firefighters where he specialized as an
expert in High Risk Explosives. In 1939 he joined the Army and one year later
joined the Commandos group as a volunteer. His profound knowledge of developing
and planting explosives has resulted in a string of successful missions. During
the assault on Saint Nazare he was responsible for all the controlled explosions
that flooded the harbor buildings and killed numerous German enemies.
Skills:
He is an expert at calculation, placing and
developing explosives. The materials he carries in his backpack are always
delicate but heavy. This forces him to move slowly and can stop him from
entering water in order to protect the sensitive products in his backpack. He
can operate other weapons, such as grenades, bazookas, flame-throwers and mine
detectors. He can detect and deactivate mines to then use them at a later time.
He can form minefields in areas where enemies and their vehicles will pass.
