Official description

"Otherwise known as The Assassin, if you come face-to-face with Carl Sheppards, chances are you're on your last breath. The Reaper takes pride in his patience. He strides silently and uses his stealth skills to gain easy access to his victims. Carl also gets a kick out of looking them in the eye just before they die. One of his former CO's described him as "potentially too dangerous even for A.I.M. service." - Jagged Alliance 2

Notes

His starting weapon, the Colt Commando Assault Rifle, seems like an odd starting weapon for a Merc with an obvious sniping role.
