Synopsis
Tiger Eyes was born during a war that killed his father. He and his mother worke in the opium fields until she is attacked and killed. He becomes a soldier. Major Bludd discovers him, and recruits him and nicknames him Krake. He tries to find out who is behind it. Cobra attacks and captures him. After he refuses to join them, they dump him. Krake tracks down Bludd, and offers him a deal: all of the mainland Triads for a new face. The Cobra Commander agrees. Krake gets his new face and kills the surgeons. The Commander welcomes him into Cobra.
