Python Guards

Python Patrol Elite Soldier:

 

Considered the best of the best. It takes many years to achieve the status of Crimson Guard and of those that make it only a select few are ever chossen to serve as a Python Guard. A Python Guardsmen is expected to uphold unfaltering loyalty to Cobra Commander. Existing as more of a faction within Cobra than as a part of it. The Python Guard answer only to Cobra Commander and his liaisons, Major Bludd and Copperhead. Python Guards undergo extensive plastic surgery and following a daily regimen of precautions to even alter their fingerprints, it is near impossible to trace a Python Guard back to their original past. Guardsmen are then split up into groups, (or series) one of the most notable are the Fred series, which has produced some of the most prolific of Crimson Guardsman. Each member of a series shares the same likeness in face and build, able to assume the identity of any other member in the same series, allowing them to be in more than one place at the same time and giving each of them a impeccable alibi. Most Python Guards of this rank lie dormant in deep undercover operations waiting for the day that they receive the call for their activation.

Loyalty will only get you so far in Cobra, a Guardsman is also expected to be a college graduate with degrees in Law, Political science or have earned an MBA. Many go on into Cobra’s scientific development division where they are planted into labs around the world to steal information on new discoveries and use grants from various nations to secretly continue work for Cobra. Python Guards are often used when secrecy is key. A Python Guard can infiltrate any location, hack into any system, override any security and escape without leaving a trace. They can be anyone they choose, the guy next store, or maybe even the next presidential candidate!

A Python Guardsmen's uniform is made to regulate body temperature at the same time as masking the wearer's heat signature making them virtually invisible to thermal scanners and scopes.
