 AGENT CULLEN ESTERHAZY. In 1972, the C.I.A. sent Cullen Esterhazy to the tiny Himilayan kingdom of Chomo-Lungma aid the Chomo-Lungman Resistance. Esterhazy was carrying out his mission when President Richard Nixon opened U.S. relations with communist China. Soon afterward, Esterhazy's mission was cancelled, and he was ordered to return home. Esterhazy never contacted the C.I.A. again and moved by the peoples' struggle, stayed in Chomo-Lungma to assist the resistance, becoming its leader, known as the "White Devil from Virginia." Twenty years later, the United States discovered Esterhazy was still alive and sent C.I.A. Agent Anderson and the G.I. Joe team's Chuckles, Iceberg, Scarlett and Snake-Eyes to retrieve Esterhazy. The Joes were unaware that Anderson had been ordered to kill the agent. When the local Chinese army officer, Colonel Peng, discovered that Esterhazy still lived, he captured the Abbot of the Hidden Monastery hoping to draw out the "White Devil." The Joes helped rescue the abbot, but Esterhazy sacrificed his life during the battle that ensued.
