Origin:
As are the majority of his teammates, Gregory is naught but a normal human, lacking any sort of ascendant powers, whether they issue forth from mystical and/or psionic studies, genetic mutation, cybernetic implants, or even freak occurrences that should otherwise be lethal in humans.
Known Powers:
(none)
Equipment:
Conquest X-30: Gregory's very first G.I. Joe fighter plane, the Conquest X-30 is a unique aircraft in that it has a forward-swept wing design, one that's inherently unstable - though this is accounted for thanks to a revolutionary computer-control interface. The Conquest X-30 is described in its own entry.
Flight Suit: since he can pull otherwise impossible aerial maneuvers while flying his Conquest X-30, Gregory wears an enhanced, G-resistant flight suit when in the cockpit. This suit allows him to make any FEAT to resist centrifugal and G-forces at his End rank +1 CS while in the air.
Semi-Automatic Pistol: in the event that he should find himself de-planed, Gregory carries a semi-automatic sidearm on him while 'on the job'. This gun can be fired to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage with a single shot, or Good (10) Shooting damage in a clip-burning, semi-automatic burst of lead.
Quirks:
(none)
Talents:
Aerial Combat: while he learned to fly well before joining the Air Force, Gregory learned how to use an aircraft and its weapons against other planes there. Whenever he's engaged in a dogfight with another aircraft, or attacking ground or sea-based targets in a plane, Gregory does so at a +1 CS.
Computers: before he discovered flying, Gregory was a crack computer hacker and video game junkie. He can build, program, and use computers with ease, and knows well how to slip into remote computers if he feels like it. His Rsn should be considered +1 CS where computers are concerned.
Guns: an essential part of Gregory's military training involved his learning how to use guns in combat. Whether he's utilizing a standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifle or pistol, or even a curious firearm such as a shotgun, Gregory may do so as though his Agy was +1 CS in rank.
Languages / Armenian, English, French, and Greek: thanks to a rather curious childhood, Gregory has learned a bevy of languages in addition to his native one. This means that, while he cannot write in most of the languages listed here (though he can do so in English, at least), Gregory can speak in these tongues.
Military / United States: having joined the United States Air Force so he could fly the best aircraft out there, Gregory has learned the basics of military protocols and procedures like the back of his hand. Furthermore, this talent accounts for a bevy of Gregory's as-of-yet unnamed Air Force contacts.
Pilot / Air: once he discovered the joy of flying, Gregory joined the Junior Civil Air Patrol so he could be at the stick of an airplane as much as possible. When flying fixed-wing aircraft of any stripe, Gregory may make any applicable Control FEATs at a +1 CS - which may exceed a vehicle's max Control rating.
Contacts:
As a member of the G.I. Joe team, Gregory definitely has that group as a reliable contact, as he's just as good as Ace is in covering the team's ground operatives when they're menaced by Cobra aircraft. Furthermore, the man's got dozens of contacts in Air Force and computer hacking circles.
Costume:
When on missions for the G.I. Joe team, Gregory typically wears his hi-g flight suit. This consists of a tan pair of trousers (covered by extra gray lining), a tan jacket with brown shoulder pads, black boots, black gloves, a black leg holster for his sidearm, black goggles, and a brown helmet with a black chin strap.
Personality:
Gregory is full of swagger and confidence, but deservedly so. He's a crack computer hacker, video game junkie, and also one of the best fighter pilots on earth. He's also a mean table tennis player and a unrepentant practical joker, known for playing more than his fair share of pranks on his fellow Joes.

Story:
Gregory was born in Provo, Utah, where he grew up to be a video game nut and computer hacker. That is, at least, until he discovered his one true love: flying. He continued to play games and dink with computers, to be sure, but the man found his path in the cockpits of high-flying aircraft.
As such, he joined the Junior Civil Air Patrol as a youth, and then R.O.T.C. in college, where he earned his Air Force commission upon graduation. His crack skills with computers and in flight gave him quite the competitive edge in the Force, since most newer planes require skills with both.
His abilities were such that, when the G.I. Joe team required a new pilot to fly their experimental, Conquest X-30 aircraft, they chose Gregory. On his first mission, though, he didn't get to showcase his skills all that well; you see, he was flying one of the Joes' C-130 transport craft during the battle of Springfield.
His second mission, however, saw him depositing Snake-Eyes (disguised as Flint) to the small nation of Sierra Gordo so he could infiltrate one of Cobra's new Terror Dromes there. Performing his part to perfection on this job, Gregory then assisted the Joe team with numerous other aerial missions.
One such operation saw him and Ace getting into a battle of nerves with a Strato-Viper and his brand spanking new, Cobra spy plane, the Night Raven. The Strato-Viper broke first, shooting Ace down over the Gulf of Mexico, and giving Gregory quite a fight - though he won out in the end, of course.
Gregory stayed with the team through thick and thin, even when it was detained by the minions of the so-called Jugglers after the Cobra Island Civil War. Of course, he did leave the team alongside everybody else when the Joes were shut down in '94, their battle with Cobra was relegated to standard military forces.
What he did after this is as of yet unknown, but once the G.I. Joe team was put back together after the turn of the century, Gregory eventually made his way back to rejoin the fight against the evil that is Cobra!
