History[]
In his youth, Troll had a reputation for trouble. He liked to commit petty crimes against nats, usually with his buddy Cheetah. After helping stop a large warehouse fire, (filled with accelerants that threatened to burn down Jokertown), he manned up and became more socially responsible. He eventually became head of security at the Jokertown clinic.
He was also respected well enough to be invited on the 1987 WHO Tour along with Dr. Tachyon.
Although he is not an Ace, Troll has been mentioned more than once in Aces! magazine.
He was shot through the head by a sniper rifle during the attack on House Secure.
