Base Figure: Lt. Stone
Accessories: Lt. Stone belt, holster, knife / Long Range coat / Cobra Commander v.2 helmet / 1/6 pistol / custom rifle, pistol

After the Lt. Stone figure came out a lot of people were suggesting that he was Major Bludd or at least would make a good Bludd custom.  So I followed that latter train of thought and came up with this one.  I sculpted on the moustache and soul patch and trimmed off the peg holes on the legs.  The Cobra Commander version 2 helmet with the face plate cut out makes a great helmet for Bludd.  I made the weapons from Firefly's pistols and some parts.  I took the coat from my first Bludd custom and gave it to this guy and he's complete.

Sebastian Bludd grew up in a middle class family in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia.  His father was a successful salesman who moved from job to job, often selling out his current employer for a larger paycheck from a competitor.  It was this example that formed the mercenary side of Bludd's personality.  His mother was a writer and teacher and taught her son to appreciate the classics.  Bludd developed a love of poetry from his mother and enrolled in university majoring in english literature.  However he had no talent for writing and his horrible poetry earned him the ridicule of his peers and failing grades from his professors.  Realizing that his poetry would never be appreciated in the modern world, he dropped out of university and enlisted in the Australian SAS (Special Air Service) where he learned quickly and rose to the rank of major before a better offer came along from the French Foreign Legion.  Bludd's tour of duty in the Foreign Legion introduced him to some of the most notorious warlords and renegade armies in the world and it was one of these warlords that tempted him away from the Legion and into his first true mercenary job.  Bludd spent the next several years moving around the world, working as a military consultant to many dictators and hostile governments often switching sides in the middle of a conflict when the opposition made him a better offer.  At one point Bludd was recruited by the C.I.A. as an assassin.  During a mission for the C.I.A. Bludd lost his lower right arm when the rifle he was issued but the agency jammed and backfired.  He went to an arms dealer named Destro whom he had encountered a few times in the past to obtain a new bionic arm. 

As a result of his actions and affiliations, Bludd is wanted in over a dozen countries and by the United Nations for war crimes.  His reputation as a soldier and tactician grew and eventually came to the attention of Cobra Commander.  At the time of their first encounter, Bludd was working for a small island nation that Cobra would eventually take over.  It was during this conflict that Bludd acquired the chest plate from a Cobra Ninja B.A.T. that he wears to this day.  Cobra Commander, impressed with Bludd's ruthlessness immediately put Bludd on retainer.    While not an actual member of Cobra, Major Bludd holds a position in the Cobra hierarchy and is one of the Commander's most trusted advisors.  Cobra Commander knows that he can trust Bludd as long as he remains the highest bidder for Bludd's services.  When not needed by the Commander, Major Bludd continues to offer his services to whoever can afford them, always looking out for a better offer.
