The Expendables

Armand "Stonebanks" is a prominent antagonist in The Expendables 3. He is portrayed by Mel Gibson.

Stonebanks was once a co-founder and integral member of the original Expendables team alongside Barney Ross. He possessed exceptional skills in weapons and combat.

However, Stonebanks diverged from the team's moral code, becoming a ruthless arms dealer and mercenary. This led Barney Ross to believe he had killed Stonebanks during a mission, effectively severing their connection.

Years later, Stonebanks resurfaces, having become a powerful and dangerous arms dealer. He is tracked down by Barney Ross and the Expendables, leading to a protracted conflict. Stonebanks's intimate knowledge of the Expendables' tactics and vulnerabilities makes him a formidable opponent.

Throughout the film, Stonebanks engages in a series of strategic maneuvers aimed at eliminating the Expendables, fueled by his belief that they are a threat to his operations and driven by a personal vendetta against Barney.
