Destro is the 17th “Laird” of a manor house in the Scottish highlands and the current head of a centuries-old arms manufactoring firm. Tradtion holds that the current head of the firm always wears a polished beryllium steel mask when in public. Destro´s predecessors supplied weapons and aircraft to the British in World War II, and Destro´s father was active in supplying arms to Southeast Asia. The current Destro has been somewhat more ambitious, briefly running his own organization known as the Iron Grenadiers before becoming the arms supplier for Cobra on a regular basis. Although Destro personally despises Cobra Commander, believing him to be a pompous, posturing poltroon, he knows that working with Cobra is good for business. Cobra gives Destro more latitude in designing weapons then most national military organizations, and Cobra´s penchant for inciting conflict in various parts of the world ensures a continued need for weaponry. The Joes have a grudging respect for Destro even if they disagree with his motives. Believing him to be the man with a sense of personal honor, he is unlike most of Cobra´s hierarchy.

From Destro´s personal journal: “As long as there are people in this world, there will always be conflict. Technology advances best during times of strife and battle, and there are always those who will take advantage of this. Better it should be someone with honor”
