Dalyn wins the naming contest with this fabulous suggestion, but we took the reins on the write up, there was too much great material to work with here.
According to Wiki: “Destro fancies himself an honorable man, answering to a moral code he alone seems to understand. He has stood with the [Cobra] Commander as often as he has opposed him, and will join forces with the G.I. Joe team if it is good for business.” Then we read on to learn that “As a businessman, Destro is cutthroat and unyielding. He uses his own troops, the Iron Grenadiers, and hires mercenaries to stir up conflict in dangerous regions, then sells weapons to those armies. Continuing a tradition started by the first masked Destro, he will even sell to both sides of the same war.” Selling to both sides of the same war sounds eerily familiar.
So why does Destro match up so well with our luxurious cashmere? Turns out he comes from a regal background himself. “Born in Callander, Scotland, Destro’s full name is James McCullen Destro XXIV, and is Laird of Castle Destro in the Scottish Highlands.” Not only an arms dealer, but also landed gentry, in a fabled line of heirs.
But it’s Destro’s style that is really off-the-hook: He wears a mask forged from Beryllium Steel,” and he is routinely depicted wearing black with blazing red accents.
To summarize: he owns castle Destro, he rocks Cobra and he rocks Joe. He designs and sells weaponry. He wears a beryllium steel mask. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention his lifelong love affair with Cobra’s #2, the Baroness, and connections to the foxy Lady Jaye. Can you say role model?
