Hondo MacLean

"History is the Best Teacher."

Hondo MacLean serves as M.A.S.K. primary weapons expert and field strategist and is paired with Blaster MASK which is capable of emitting high or low powered laser blasts. Often partnered with Buddy Hawks for field operations, Hondo is more comfortable in the field than in the barracks. Known for his strong quiet nature, Hondo has been referred to as the backbone of the M.A.S.K. team. Outside of his duties with M.A.S.K. and G.I. Joe, Hondo teaches United States High School History. Outside of his M.A.S.K. and G.I. Joe ties, he has no known associates. While his strategies and tactics are by the book, Hondo has been known to get overwhelmed by novel or extremely chaotic situations.

OOC Notes
We are going mostly by the cartoon universe, but Firecracker was not be destroyed. It is Hondo's main vehicle, and the MASK Hurricane is Buddy Hawks' main vehicle.

Hondo is Scott's Troop Leader, a High School History Teacher, he knows how to sew, and he almost died. Oh, and he is very fond of Scott, almost like a second Father.

Pretty much everything else in the canon is good to go. Oh, and not the Hurricane outfit either. Classic Hondo.

Players
