With her facial scar, dead eyes, and streak of white hair -- as well as her mysterious past and knife-edged battle skills -- STILETTO makes even the G.I. JOE team a little nervous. She joined the team alongside Cobra defector Felix "Mercer" Stratton™, acting as his bodyguard, and has since become a strong asset to the team. With skills that hint at Special Forces training, she is proficient in most small arms weapons and an expert in the use of bladed weapons.
