Captain Edward Terrelli
Name: Edward Terelli
Rank: Captain
Callsign: Capone
Description: Capone is the Sea Bandits' lead Cobra pilot.
A passionate, spirited man, he originally flew Hornets,
but switched to the Cobra because he wanted people to
know he was there-to be able to look up and see him
protecting them. He also wanted the enemy to know he was
there-it "gives them something to think about." Capone
joined the 18th MEU as part of its Cobra detail when
then-Lt. Colonel Kelly took command of the MEU's air
element, and has trained with Ice, Spoon, and Mad Dog
for the MEU's deployment ever since. He also took
Burner's place as Ice and Spoon's roommate. As such, he
has developed a close friendship with both the two Hornet
pilots and fellow helo pilot Mad Dog, though his
friendship with her is perhaps the deepest of all.
Capone's family life is somewhat complex-he is a
third-generation Mafia son. Though he does not
condone his family's activities, they have provided
him with some valuable "connections," which he has
used to aid his friends on more than one occasion.
These favors were repaid, albeit indirectly, when a
MEU training exercise happened to coincide with an
illegal rendezvous into which Capone's brother had
been blackmailed. Capone used the exercise to convince
the blackmailers that the Marines were there to arrest
them, and they fled, freeing his brother to lead a legal
life. Overall, Capone's bravery and loyalty to his
friends and the Corps make him a top-notch Marine.
