Haggis Datafile - help me complete it for BFTB

Here's the one and only Haggis...
BUT, I need:
Name:
Birthplace:
Primary Military Sp:
Secondary Military Sp:
Brief biography:
Tagline:
Also he's an SAS ________ (what?) I put trooper on the WIP one...
Lets try and get a consensus and I'll add them, make a B+W and colour version. I have a blank template now too if there's any other characters. To resize the characters for the datafiles takes a LOT of processing to sharpen them up

Why not use the name of one of our Scottish members? SAS assault trooper maybe?
Cool mockup BJ.

It needs to be something MacDonald (and NOT Ronald)
However since canon no longer exists for extended work, I thought perhaps BFTB consensus would be the next best thing!

I think his first name should be Robert after Robert the Bruce. Robert Mc Donald or Mac Donnell. Any thoughts?

Robert sounds good, for that reason. His surname is definately MacDonald in Operation Claymore, so that's a cert.

Close enough to Ronald

Cool.
You going to colourise him? Look forward to seeing the result.

How about 'Jock' MacDonald (more likely to be spelt this way for a scotsman than McDonald)
or if we're going down the line of famous Scots:- Sean(Connery),Alex(Ferguson) or even Rab(C.Nesbitt).
Birthplace?And he's ex Highland regt. should'nt it be in the highlands?
He seems to be good at fighting with his fist so one of his specialities could be un-armed combat.
And not forgetting the quote or motto at the foot of the page."Loves to fight with weapons or with his bare hands"
How's that?

Fantastic work. May I suggest losing the word balloon? As for the blank template, we never got bios for Gaucho, Jammer or Blades - I always planned to do that but never had the time. Shogi recoloured the Gung-Ho datafile pic as Gaucho which I intended to use, and there is a cracking pic of Tripwire in the Peace Rocket I planned to use for Blades. There's also the Green Major and Skeletron. The only known Skeletron art is Meertoh's pic.
Some other BAF-invented characters are Beadeyes, McCook and Omar from River of Serpents, Skystriker pilot JJ from Battle for the Skies, the Skull Squadron from Battle for the Skies, Major Flagg and the AF General from World Enemy No. 1, Jackal (Anton Nobokov) and Sultan from Red Jackal, Nelson and Octopus from Operation Sealion, the Gibli from Desert Strike and the Mamba men from Jungle Terror, Shotgun and Crow from Operation Bloodhound, Pumpgun and Buckshot from Operation Shield, Red from the Great Cobra Robbery, Sergeant York from Desert Strike, Turney from The New Boy, Kaarlo Kranz from the The Hornet's Nest, Sandford from Venom of Cobra, Stefan Slovitch from School for Snakes, Commander of the Vengeance from Sea Wars, Scar from Death in the Everglades and UN operatives Kenning and Larson from Deep Cover.
For some reason, and I'd have to re-read it be sure, I always thought Haggis's first name was Cal.

I'm liking Jock. Unless Cal proves to be correct. When the archive gets back on line maybe we should have a poll?
