Proficient with all NATO and Warsaw Pact explosives, detonators, ignition initiators, and blasting machines. Qualified expert: M-1911A auto pistol.
Tripwire freaks people out. He's always clumsy, jittery, and dropping things except when he's working with high explosives. Explosives are the only things that calm him down.
