TOPSECRET/MV/NITRO

ASSET BIOGRAPHY AND ASSESSMENTCOMPILED BY ANALYST #509BCLASSIFIED BY MULTIPLE SOURES DECLASSIFY ON 1 JAN 2044REVIEW FOR EXTENSION ON 1 JAN 2043

(U) NAME: Adam Tyler

(S/NOFORN) DOB: 7 FEB 1981 [unverified — birth certificate

flagged by Office of Advanced Analytics as a possible forgery]

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Tactical Recovery, Demolitions,

Advanced Weapons, Economics, Advanced Strategy [also see

CO Form X6217 – BRANCH CHIEF PACKET ONLY].

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Tiraspol, Moldova

(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:

2005 - First verifiable record of “Adam Tyler.”

2005 – 2009 - Priv. security consultant, multiple countries

2009 – 2019 - Salvage and Recycling Ltd., registered in

EU/UK, USA, UKR, UZ, RUS, THI, VN, SG

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Adam Tyler is a trusted source.

His list of global contacts in salvage, defense, and general

import/export channels creates access across a broad

intelligence spectrum. Tyler will demand payment in exchange

for information. However, records show that he often neglects

to cash the check. Subject’s name is a probable alias. During

standard cross-referencing, Analyst #509B found homonym

“Adam Tiler” — Victorian slang for a pickpocket’s accomplice.

(U) NAME: Natalia Inger [goes by Talia]

(U) DOB: 24 JUL 1997

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Junior Operations Officer with

standard combined ops training, Eidetic Memory, Russian

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Washington, D.C.


2004 - 2014 - Foster care system, Washington, D.C. Inger

spent 2012-2014 in the home of Bill Lewis and

family, and remained with this family while

attending Georgetown. [see Associates below]

2014 – 2018 - Georgetown University 4-year accelerated

bachelors/masters in International Relations

2018 – 2019 - J.O. Training / Combined Ops Initial Course

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: As a former foster child with limited

attachments, J.O. Inger is an excellent candidate for frequent

deployment. Analyst #509B recommends solo assignments over

team ops [see CO Form 7107, Training Evaluation]. The Farm

psychologist warns of trust and authority issues. Her

medical records from the Georgetown Women’s Rowing team note

chronic pain in her mid-torso, favoring the right side. Her

condition remains undiagnosed.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ASSOCIATES: J.O. Edison Gupta; Jennifer

Lewis, US State Department

(U) NAME: Edison Gupta [goes by Eddie]

(U) DOB: 24 FEB 1997

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Junior Specialized Skills Officer with

standard combined ops training, Cyber Attack/Defense, Drone

Operations, Electrical Engineering

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Washington, D.C.


1997 – 2008 - Early childhood in New Delhi, India

2008 – 2014 - International School of Washington, D.C.

2014 – 2018 - Georgetown University 4-year accelerated

Computer Science & Engineering Program

2018 – 2019 - J.O. Training / Combined Ops Initial Course

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: A child of Indian diplomats, J.O. Gupta

received permanent resident status during his time at

Georgetown. Gupta excels at cyber ops and holds the company

record for backdoor access to the NSA Prime server. However,

he violated test protocols by using this access to send an

agency-wide email from the NSA Director’s account entitled

“Teletubbies Rock My World.” The Farm psychologist notes Gupta

may struggle with deployments due to a strong attachment to

his mother. Analyst #509B also suggests an “unhealthy”

attachment to his Age of Swords online gaming account.

(U) NAME: Macauley Plucket [goes by Mac]

(U) DOB: 3 APR 1990

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Pilot, Mixed Martial Arts, Aeronautics

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Unknown


1990 – 2008 - Childhood in Aberdeen, Scotland. Juvenile

record shows three fighting arrests.

2008 – 2012 - Student at the University of Aberdeen

2012 – 2014 - RAF Initial Officer Training, Flight Training.

2013 – 2014 - Eurofighter Typhoon Squadron, RAF Coningsby

2014 – 2016 - RAF test pilot

2016 – 2018 - Early military release to European Space

Agency. Achieved new records in hybrid rocket-

jet flight. EU MMA amateur fighting circuit.

2018 – 2019 - Removed from ESA for illegal gambling [bet on

his own fights]. Allegedly works on contract in

illicit fighting rings and as an underworld

enforcer.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Plucket is a skilled pilot and fighter

that could be an asset to a field team. His juvenile record,

fighting habits, and gambling all indicate impulse control

issues. Do not trust this asset.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ASSOCIATES: Henri Imed [Parisian crime boss]

TOPSECRET/MV/NITRO


(U) NAME: Darcy Emile

(U) DOB: 15 APR 1994

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Chemistry, Explosive Dynamics

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: London, UK [suspected]


1994 – 2011 - Childhood in Paris, France. Her secondary

education instructors identified her genius and

advanced her to Paris Polytech at age 17.

2011 – 2017 - Bachelor/Master/Doctoral Student.

2017 – 2018 - Professor at Paris Polytech. The subject’s

troubled relationship with the university

board, including repeated reprimands for

encouraging students to explore “combustive

art,” ended in a spectacular explosion at the

campus biodome and the subject’s termination.

2018 – 2019 - European authorities allege four recent bank

vault explosions involve the subject’s Rube-

Goldbergian artistic signature.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Darcy Emile is dangerous and should be

avoided at all costs [see CO Form 325393 Mental Status

Evaluation]. However, Analyst #509B notes her last alleged

bank vault explosion was “really cool.”

(TS/MV/NITRO) ASSOCIATES: Andre “Three Finger” Dubois

(U) NAME: Michael Finn [goes by Finn]

(U) DOB: 18 FEB 1995

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Burglary, Infil/Exfil, Recovery,

Motocross, Skydiving, Proximity Flying

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: St. Moritz, Switzerland [projected]


1995 – 2010 - Early childhood in Melbourne, Australia. Left

home not long after father committed suicide.

2010 – 2019 - Airshow/stunt-show/motocross circuit, primarily

Europe. During this period, more than forty

high-profile burglaries occurred in cities

where Finn performed stunts, all within a week

of the show. All these cases remain unsolved.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Michael Finn’s juvenile record in

Australia indicates an early aptitude for unlawful entry. His

most recent alleged burglaries tend toward high elevations and

significant security barriers. Paternal suicide combined with

a Type T [thrill-seeking] personality may contribute to his

tendency toward high-risk behavior. Further study is needed.

Analyst #509B notes a predominantly female following on Finn’s

Dark Web stunt page.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ASSOCIATES: Richard “Ricky Ring Tail” Harvey

[cat burglar]; assorted BASE Jumpers [mostly deceased]

TOPSECRET/MV/NITRO


(U) NAME: Valkyrie [nom de guerre; actual name is unknown]

(S/NOFORN) DOB: Unknown. An Iranian arms dealer allegedly died

attempting to acquire this information. No others have tried.

(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Confidence Tricks [Grift], Neuro-

linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, Cold Reading

(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Venice, Italy [suspected]


2001 – - The nom de guerre “Valkyrie” first appears in a

Venetian police report regarding a shop owner

swindled out of more than 50 million lire

[$25,000 US]. Police later discovered the

victim to be a confidence man running a gang of

child pickpockets and street hustlers.

2001 – 2019 - Valkyrie is associated by rumor with more than

a dozen confidence schemes perpetrated in

Europe and the Middle East, usually against

museums, museum societies, or targets with

known criminal or terrorist backgrounds.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Valkyrie may be an umbrella name for

multiple grifters. Analyst #509B insists she is a single,

talented individual. If so, she could be a powerful addition

to a team in the field.

(TS/MV/NITRO) ASSOCIATES: Marco Calafato [unverified]

11d. Candiate Inger failed the final comprehensive field operations practical. See comments for item 12e below.

12a. Candiate Inger showed a high aptitude for all aspects of Collection, including observation, conversational coercion, and direct interrogation. Her eidetic memory offers an obvious advantage. However, along with excellent recall, she demonstrates an advanced grasp of course concepts when drawing conclusions from recalled data. Inger showed a particular ruthlessness with classmate Scott Meyers during the interrogation practical. Empathy may be an issue. See comments for item 12d below.

12d. Candidate Inger achieved a perfect academic score, as predicted, but her eidetic memory advantage leads to a pronounced impatience with team members. Despite her excellent grasp of tactical and strategic concepts, her lack of patience and empathy in team settings resulted in a downgrade from "superior" to "sat" in both Communication and Team Leadership.

12e. Candidate Inger and her entire team were KR'd during the final practical (KR = Kill Removal). This requires an "unsat" for item 12e and results in an automatic course failure. Review is at C/HRM discretion.
