Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAJ : Major Bludd
Major Bludd (Sebastian Bludd), is a fictional character from the [[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]] series of the 1980s. Appearing in both the comic books and the cartoons, Major Bludd is one of the series villains, a mercenary working for the COBRA Organization.
An Australian, he served in his country's special forces and French Foreign Legion before becoming a mercenary. He is wanted on almost every continent for numerous war crimes and even a few crimes against humanity. Bludd is easily identified by his eyepatch and Snidely Whiplash-style mustache. He was also something of a poet at heart, albeit a very bad one, and was possibly the only poet to ever utilize the word "Uzi" in any of his work.
In the comic book series, Cobra Commander hired Bludd to kill Destro, fearing that Destro would try to usurp the commander's authority, but the Baroness, who was in love with Destro, foiled the attempt. Afterwards he was apprehended by an injured General Hawk and brought to Joe headquarters, but he escaped (killing G.I.-Joe's original commanding officer, General Lawerence Flagg, on his way out) and remained in Cobra employment despite Destro's knowledge of his attempted murder. Bludd eventually left Cobra to resume his career as a mercenary. He was captured and sent to Leavenworth, but he escaped during a prison riot. Cobra Commander offered him a chance to rejoin Cobra, and he accepted. Bludd was captured following the battle against The Coil on Cobra Island and sent to Blackwater Prison. He and Scrap-Iron were broken out of jail by Wraith (G.I. Joe). He continued to serve with Cobra until the terrorist group was defeated. Bludd rejoined Cobra during Destro's brief period of leadership, serving as the Coil's field commander with Mistress Armada, but secretly working for the Commander. During this time, his hand was cut off by General Philip Rey and replaced with a cybernetic hand. Follwing Cobra's defeat at the Monolith Base, Major Bludd disappeared and is still at large working as a mercenary.
In the animated series, Major Bludd appeared in the MASS Device and Revenge of Cobra sagas and appeared frequently throughout the first season as Cobra's primary field commander. By the second season, he had practically disappeared, when he did appear it was only in the background. He appeared briefly in the beginning of [[G.I. Joe: The Movie]], but did not have a big role. He was voiced by Michael Bell.
