History
Georges Batroc Military Life
Georges Batroc moved to Algeria from France once he joined the French Foreign Legion, having attained the rank of Adjutant, equivalent to a Master Sergeant. He, later, went on to become an agent of the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE) and a freelance pirate, mercenary and terrorist for hire.
Alexander Pierce corrected Councilman Rockwell when he mistakenly identified Batroc as French when he asked how he managed to hijack a covert S.H.I.E.L.D. ship.[1]
