Dead 6

The Dead Six is a group of six commandos that GDI frequently deploys for special operations and other sensitive missions. The team features prominently in Renegade.

Background
The name Dead 6 refers to the legal status of the team’s members: each person in the group has been officially "killed", and hence no longer exist. This makes it easier for the team to remain covert and helps GDI by giving them a greater degree of plausible deniability when discussing the team's operations. The official stories are that one died in a raid on a terrorist bomb-making lab in southern Chile. Another fell during a bloody conflict while gathering intel on rival Nigerian warlords. Another was assassinated by thugs in the Balkans. Another died in Turkey; another in Australia; another in Jordan.

Roster

 * Nick Seymour Parker, Havoc (dismissed)
 * Sakura Obata (defected)
 * Dariel MacInnis, Deadeye
 * Nigel Grant, Gunner
 * Shai Aviv, Hotwire
 * Erich Wulfe, Patch

Two members left the team after its formation —Captain Parker and Sakura Obata— yet despite this it retained the name "Dead-6".
