Tomahawk (SG)

"The new ways of healing mend the wounds we can see. I seek the old medicine -- to mend the hidden harm."

Charlie Iron-Knife is a shaman, a medicine man. He's not a healer or a priest or a witch-doctor. There isn't any equivalent in our culture for what he is unless we had shrinks that could actually help people. He was born in New Mexico to a Native American family so far below the poverty line that they never realized they were poor. SPIRIT tuned in to nature at a very young age and was a hunting guide throughout high school. Following his graduation he joined the army and served in Southeast Asia in scout patrols. After being discharged he returned home to complete his education. He eventually returned to the service and was chosen for the G.I. Joe team. Spirit has senses so keen he appears able to communicate with animals. Actually, he observes their behavior and can tell when something is out of the ordinary. He has been known to sense when something 'feels' wrong around him, as well – again, attributed to mysticism but is in actuality the result of years of training to increase his alertness and situational awareness. He is a Qualified Expert in the M-16, M-1911A1 Auto Pistol, and Remington sniper rifle. He is also proficient in psychology, his secondary military specialty focused in social services. The insight it gives him into how his quarry thinks and moves contributes to his image as an implacable tracker.
