Thibault worked his way up through the ranks of the French Navy and the Commandos Marine over the course of several years. He tackled his training with a diligence and determination impressing all but the most jaded of officers. Eventually he tested into the Commando Hubert, an elite combat swimming unit with operators across the globe. Now, "Riptide" works in counterterrorism and hostage rescue, pursuing his missions with the same level of effort that he's had his entire life.
