Classified Dossier
There comes a time when even the Joes, with the highest standards of military discipline, must resort to unconventional tactics in order to successfully complete a mission. The Renegades are the Joes’ answer to offensive ullying. This highly secretive branch of G.I. Joe is made up of soldiers who are not your typical Gung-Ho oe. They’re tough, unruly, and most importantly willing…willing to take on “secret” missions the Joes ight deem “out of character.” The Renegades are hardened, unyielding, and the tour-de-force of counter-Cobraism.
Code Name: Taurus
File Name: Ayvazyan, Varujan
Primary Specialty: Demolitions
Secondary Specialty: Mountaineering

The Renegades aren’t carried on the rosters of any existing military unit. There is no computer access to their dossiers and they’re paid through a special fund earmarked for “Pest Control.” This gives the Renegades a freedom of operation that the Joes can’t match. It also means that their superiors can deny everything if they’re Caught.
Taurus was a circus acrobat in Europe who did occasional undercover work for an international police task force. His circus act involved breaking two-by-fours on his own face, a feat which so impressed the G.I. Joe top brass, he was recruited on the spot. Taurus has been cross-trained in explosives and mountaineering and is fluent in a dozen languages.
“He’s an animal. He stops hockey pucks with his forehead and opens bottles with his nostrils. Lucky for us, he does everything G.I. Joe HQ tells him!”
