TEAM RAINBOW

Earned Master's degree in International Relations. Leader of Rainbow Team-2. Call sign: Alpha-2.

Chavez is ambitious and confident, and he studies everything he sees, looking for new perspectives and lessons. He regards Clark as a mentor and father figure, and is fiercely loyal to him. Chavez understands the opportunities that were afforded him by the military, and he feels a profound sense of a debt to the Army. Chavez also knows how to have a good time, and has established a strong rapport with his Rainbow teammates. Strong-willed, decisive, and fiercely loyal to his team, Chavez is a natural leader.

ANNIKA LOFQUIST

Led ONI intelligence and surveillance teams in over a dozen different counter-terrorist actions. Is an electronics genius with multiple patents, and continues to consult between Rainbow missions.

She is extremely confident and courageous, although at times her lack of military training can lead her to overestimate her ability to handle a situation. Her demeanor is somewhat stiff and analytical, which has prevented her from cultivating close relationships with other team members. When off duty she keeps to herself, living alone on a sailboat.

AYANA YACOBY
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel. Joined the regular Israeli army. Transferred to Sayeret Mat'kal (Israel's primary counter-terrorism and hostage-rescue unit). Recruited by the Mossad. Specializes in infiltration and intelligence gathering. Unmarried.

Yacoby doesn't have a lot of patience for anyone, including teammates, hostages, and civilians. Her lack of tact hasn't made her a popular person. She snaps at teammates if they can't keep up with her, and she is generally considered abrasive and humorless. The only person she seems to get along with is Weber. However, no one doubts Yacoby's commitment to Rainbow, or her skill in the field. Yacoby's recreational activities are all solitary: running, climbing, and swimming.

DIETER WEBER
Born in Munich, Germany. Graduate of the German Army's Bergführer (“Mountain Leader”) school, one of the physically toughest schools in the world. Joined Grenzschutzgruppe 9 (“Border Control Group 9”), Germany’s special counterterrorism team. After distinguishing himself in service to GSG-9, Weber was recruited by Rainbow. Unmarried.

Weber is a competitive, disciplined soldier who finds tranquility and happiness in the outdoors. He delights in solitary activities, such as hunting and climbing. Most of his social interactions with the rest of the team are through direct competition. He is considered humorless and arrogant by the other members of the team.

The 14th performs in Northern Ireland, monitoring known IRA targets and pre-emptively striking at terrorist targets. Recruited into Rainbow in 1998.

Price is mild-mannered and quiet, but good-natured. He’s experienced, observant, and a shrewd judge of character. A seasoned veteran, he remains cool and collected under fire. He makes a point of being formal when addressing his superiors, and puts a great deal of stock in the chain of command. He believes in doing things properly and by-the-book, and he tends to be cautious and conservative. Price enjoys smoking his pipe, reading, and working out at the gym.

JAMAL MURAD

time, he paints.

LOUIS LOISELLE
Born in Paris. Former member of the French Parachute Division. Detailed to DGSE, the French military intelligence agency. Involved in tactical espionage and counter-espionage throughout Europe. Recruited into Rainbow in 1998.

Loiselle fosters an air of camaraderie and team solidarity on every mission. Though he takes his job very seriously, he manages to see the bright side of things, and this keeps morale high. Loiselle is 35, and is starting to go grey. This terrifies him. He cannot pass a mirror without executing a quick appraisal of his good looks. He’s devoted to his wife, but flirts outrageously with every woman he sees, much to the amusement of the other members of Team Rainbow. During his free time, he reads about history and takes his wife out dancing.

Served in Bosnia. Trained with 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D, Delta Force). Married, one daughter.

Raymond is a protector. Her first instinct in a combat situation is to defend those around her, and to protect innocent civilians from harm. Time after time, she has placed herself in harm's way to protect someone from enemy fire. She is also someone who enjoys good conversation. During her spare time, she reads mystery novels and spends time with her family.
