Hardtop gets the job done. If you tell him to move his Crawler to the top of a mountain, he doesn't ask how to get it there, why it has to be there, or even where the mountain is—he just gets it there. What?No road up that mountain? Hardtop will make his own road! No level clearing on top? No problem—just don't get in his way.
"You might say he was the strong silent type, emphasis on the silent. His idea of a long conversation is a nod and a handshake. It's not that he's unfriendly, he simply has his own priorities and talking isn't one of them."

Nicholas loves to build things and solve problems. Whether he's planning or building anything from a skyscraper to an Interstate exchange, the man is simply not happy unless he's working out the kinks in a challenging project of any variety.

He's been doing this sort of thing all his life, and has become one of the world's single greatest engineers in the process. He joined the military to make a difference with his skills, and has mastered several others in the process. And that's before you consider his greatest work. You see, the military needed a combat-ready space shuttle for the Gi Joe team, as their foes in Cobra were working on much the same. They assigned Nicholas the job of building the crawler gantry for said shuttle, a vehicle that could move it into launch position - and then help it take off.

Jumping at the chance to work on this, Nicholas threw everything he had into it... and soon enough, the vehicle was ready... even before the spacecraft designed to work with it. The Gi Joe team was so impressed by this that they recruited Nicholas on the spot. His official job with the Joes is to operate the crawler gantry when the team has to launch one of its shuttles - either the Defiant or a later model, the Crusader. Of course, with something so advanced, somebody's got to fix the thing when it breaks down.

Which Nicholas is always happy to do... it's usually a challenge after all, to fix a gantry on the move with a space shuttle loaded on already. Usually, he won't see combat while preparing for a launch, but when he does Nicholas tends to just see this as another challenge.  He did arm his crawler gantry to the teeth, you know. When the Joes were dismantled for a time in '94, Nicholas went to work for the National Space Agency, applying everything he'd learned with the Joes to civilian work... and making the 'regular' space program better as a result.

Once the team was reassembled, Nicholas made himself available for additional work when required, though he's no longer a full-time Joe. But whenever they need to launch one of their shuttles for specialized anti-terror missions, Nicholas always answers the call!
