== Personality & Traits ==
Metcalfe comes from a wealthy family from the East Coast, with deep roots in New England dating back to the 17th Century; members of his family include pioneers, inventors, war heroes and statesmen, all of whom were key figures in shaping American society. However, in a strange twist of irony, Metcalfe is found swimming against the current of the American directorate, as he constantly faces scorn from senior bureaucrats, deals with mismanagement of intelligence resources at the hands of fellow agents, and tacitly accepts orders diametrically opposed to his personal values.
