Committiee

In 2007, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped a maximum security stockade to the UCLan underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you want to watch anime, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...

Colonel Alastair "Hannibal" Smith

The cigar chomping leader of the Anime Society is forever "on the jazz" (meaning he loved the adrenaline of action). He just loved to play it tough and cocky to the biggest bad guy. Named after the Carthaginian general who almost destroyed the Roman Empire 2200 years ago. Like his namesake, Hannibal is a master tactician, but his plans never quite turned out as they were supposed to. According to Amy Allen, "Hannibal's plans never work like they're supposed to, they just work".

Hannibal is also famed for his "mastery" of disguise - usually involving a wig and a pair of false teeth, that any person with some semblance of vision could have seen through. Nethertheless he was man the Team revolved around and after every successful victory he would utter his infamous catchphrase, "I just love it when a plan comes together!".

Lieutenant Joe "Faceman" Peck

Face is the Anime Societie's conman, often managing to cheat people out of everything they owned and still leave them smiling. Whatever is needed, be it a lawnmower engine (in the jungle) or an American Air Force Jet (in Peru) he could obtain it. And if the hapless victim was female it was all the easier for Face (nicknamed on account of his clean-cut good looks). However, Face was never one for the inevitable fighting that being an Anime Society member entailed, and he is forever complaining about getting hit too often.

Face is effectively second in command to Hannibal in the A-Team (Adrian technically has a higher rank, but he is certified insane!), but he devoted much more time to the women and seemed to get one during every mission - simply by smiling at them.

Captain Sian "Howling Mad" Murdock

The craziest member of the Anime Society resided in a military mental hospital for most of her time and it isn't hard to see why. Running through different personalities like a hot knife through butter, and talking randomly to objects and things that did not exist. B.A. had a particular problem with this "crazy fool".

However, despite her umm.. inconsistencies, Sian was a top class pilot. She'd fly anything and fly it well - if a crash was iminent she was the woman to get the 'plane down safely. Despite her mental state (and is she really that crazy?), she is an irreplacable member of the Team.
