Silent Rip: The quiet one

Silent Rip is a member of The Cheat Commandos. He is a stealth-type person. In his own words, "[sneaking up on people] is what I do best." He has the Loud Noise Silencer (which appears to be an ordinary pillow).

His name is derived from an American slang term for expelling intestinal gas--to "rip one" is to fart. To make a "silent rip" would be to produce a fart without its telltale audio accompaniment. Silent Rip's motto, toy accessory, and "But Deadly!!" trait help define this playful reference ("silent but deadly" is a common slang descriptor for a "silent rip").

"Those loonies are gonna blow up the ocean!"

He features fairly prominently in Cheat Commandos Adventures, although his alleged talent for stealth has yet to be displayed.
