"The rumors? Oh, you mean that he turned." The interviewee looks off into the distance, "I don't know anything about that. If he did, I haven't seen him. If he didn't, and he's still out there somewhere..." He kicks a rock and watches it skitter across the dry ground, "...well, there'll be hell to pay, that's for sure."

Even before the end of the world as we know it, Snake Eyes was legendary amongst the SpecOps community. Snake Eyes was the Joe Team's go-to infiltration expert. If they needed to get into and out of somewhere without leaving a trace, Snake Eyes was tasked with the mission. If they needed someone to get in to open the door for a larger force, they used Snake eyes. He was also the government's go-to for wet work that needed to be finished quietly and with no trace. He would often leave the Joe Team, most thinking he was communing with nature or training. Only Hawk ever knew his true mission.
Having served in the military nearly his whole life, his disappearance so early in the ZomPoc left many with questions and few with answers. An expert in hand-to-hand combat as well as highly proficient with firearms and edged weapons, how he could have gotten bitten is the big question. There are many stories about Snake Eyes floating around the Wastes, yet there hasn't been a confirmed sighting of the mysterious and silent Joe in years. And yet, the tales continue to grow.
In the post-ZomPoc world, Snake Eyes has taken on the status of Urban Legend, a Boogie Man. Some claim he's a mindless zombie. Still others claim he's a vengeful spirit, eliminating those that hurt the innocent. Wherever he is and whatever he's become, the new Joe Team could use his expertise.
