Steve Mariner

Steve Mariner was a character from QIA. He was a former Agent in the Washington Field Team from the year 2026, before he was killed on a mission in 2020 by Gaby Marshall.
== Biography ==
=== Gaby Marshall ===
Steve graduated from the Academy in January 2026, and met Gaby Marshall for the first time. Gaby claimed to be from a dystopian future and hunting a man named Benedict Carter; she convinced him to take her to see Echelon member Ida Trent, who dismissed her story. Gaby then told Steve to stay out of her way because she intended to accomplish her mission to 'save the world' by herself. 
In February, Steve was recruited into the QIA by Agent Blake Kishell. Shortly afterwards, on a mission to Canada in 1993, Steve came across Gaby again, who had come to kill Carter. The team had been sent to stop her, as it had been classed as a quantum infraction. Gaby shot Kishell (non-fatally) but, after Steve spoke to her, he let her go. 
Another mission in Havana, 2021, saw Steve once again come into contact with Gaby, who was again hunting Carter. As it turned out, Carter was apparently supplying the QIA with information, via Ida Trent, whom Gaby accidentally shot and killed, before once again escaping arrest. ("And All That Could Have Been") 
This future was later changed, however, after events at the Academy. 
=== The Academy Bombing ===
Later in 2026, Steve was sent back in time to investigate a quantum infraction occurring during the 2020 Academy Bombing. Steve went undercover at the Academy for a few days prior to the bombing, posing as a cadet called Jerry Dawkins. He attempted to cause instructor Andrew Wesker to be injured in the bombing as this would prevent Ida Trent from coming to The Hague and therefore prevent the infraction, but he failed. 
After the task force of 2020 began investigating, Dawkins became a focus of their efforts and was later forced to reveal his identity to Tasneem Hafiz and Rupa Kalsi. He was consequently too late to prevent Trent's murder, and was then himself killed by Gaby before she Jumped. ("Academy")
