Eddie joined the Corporation shortly after an early retirement form the CIA, and though he lacked the combat experience of some, he made up for it several times over with his incredible determination. His term with the CIA included many excursions into China where he was able to get in and out without detection. As chief of shore operations and head of the gun dogs which is what Max called their group of SEALS, Force Recon and Special Forces crew, Eddie gets the job done. Eddie is lean and mean. His stature is the result of a lifetime of martial arts training and is simply unable to tolerate failure in himself or a mission.
