"I didn’t know what to make of the small group of Americans Hannibal had enlisted to his cause. Due to ongoing security concerns, they will be identified by pseudonyms. For my generation, if you talk about a small team of soldiers of fortune that show up to help when no one else will, you immediately think of one thing. Therefore, these pseudonyms will be taken from one of the most popular television shows of the 1980s: The A-Team."

This is an actual quote from this Rolling Stone feature article. The bugman author gives all the members of this alleged American "volunteer" (mercenary) team pseudonyms from the A-Team and then gives all their, fictional I'm sure, backstories to justify why he named each character what he did.

"Faceman served two tours in Iraq and developed a subsequent career as an artist and actor..."

"B.A., a former cavalry officer, also served in Iraq and conducted intelligence operations targeting insurgents. He’s now a novelist..."

"Murdock is a dead ringer for a spy, with the physique of an ultramarathoner, and the unflappable aura of a Zen master."

You have to be kidding me with this shit. There are dumb dumb portrayals of evil. This is a dumb dumb portrayal of "good."
