## Profile

Anami Aidan is the current Captain of the newly-reformed DHD-4. She was recently promoted to Captain following fifteen years of service in the EPD, ten of which have been as a dedicated Devil Hunter. Her positions have spanned two teams and three captains, as well as an apprenticeship under Agent Meier.

Aidan is one of the most senior members of EPD Eligos and over the years has earned an impressive reputation both in and out of combat. She lacks the Mage Gene and as such was assigned the magical rifle code-named The Ceaseless Watcher. She continues to wield this weapon today, providing fire support and direction to her team from afar as her physical condition allows. Aidan has further supplemented her combat power through the formation of multiple Devil contracts, which remain classified.

Her coworkers think positively of Aidan, describing her as "intense but reliable," "exactly the kind of person you want on your side," and "extremely capable, if not a tad scary." At first meeting, many find her unapproachable or intimidating (rumored to be a result of her apprenticeship under Meier), but those who have worked with her for longer periods attest that she is passionate, reliable, and will do anything to protect those she cares about. Overall, she is held in high acclaim by her coworkers. She is an individual who is fiercely dedicated to her job and takes her role incredibly seriously; by her own testimony, she wants "to make a world safe for her family to live in."

In terms of performance, Aidan has an excellent record and gets along very well with Vitucci. Her missions are typically marked with success, and otherwise have been excused as best possible outcome. The only marks on her record are complaints regarding repeated confrontations with Kiyoshi and Nakamura, specifically over their own workplace behavior and workplace issues.

## Responsibilities

As Captain of DHD-4, Aidan is responsible for managing the members of the division as well as all of its duties. She reports directly to Chief Gianna Vitucci, to whom she communicates the status of the team and its efforts. Her duties as Captain include administrative management (e.g., report write-ups and typical workplace managerial duties) as well as case assignment and resolution, and field management.

Typically, a Captain delegates the resolution of cases to her team, though she is free to join missions as she sees fit. Because of Aidan's physical disabilities, her combat contributions are necessarily restricted to ranged fire support and field orders in collaboration with Alter Ego.

The successes and failures of DHD-4 are ultimately attributed to the leadership of Aidan.

## History & Tenure

Anami Aidan has served EPD Eligos for fifteen years. She was hired at the age of 23 in 3846 following a transition from a private Devil Hunting agency to public service. Her first role was as a standard officer in Division 9. Two years of experience helped her grow into a capable warrior, and she garnered the attention of Captain Cyrus of DHD-2 in 3848. However, Cyrus was still concerned about her lack of experience. He conscripted the assistance of Meier, a member of DHD-1, to mentor Aidan and help her hone her skills.

Aidan apprenticed under Meier for two years until 3850. During this time she was still under the command of standard Division 9, but did join Meier and his partner on various devil hunting jobs. She also participated in specialized training under the supervision of Meier. In 3850, Aidan joined DHD-2 under Cyrus and alongside then-field-agent Gianna Vitucci. To suit her combat preference as a sharpshooter and strategist, Aidan was given the magical sniper rifle code-named The Ceaseless Watcher.

She served on DHD-2 for a total of nine years, during which she formed several Devil Contracts. Six of these years were commanded by Cyrus--until 3856 when he was killed by the Storm Devil (Case #0089435, TODO). Vitucci was then promoted to Captain of DHD-2 and oversaw Aidan's employment as a Devil Hunter. Two years later in 3859, Vitucci was elected to replace the late Chief Otori. Chief Vitucci then assigned Rimaldi to Captain DHD-2, and transferred Aidan to DHD-4 under Captain Redfield as DHD-4 was in need of a fire support role.

Aidan hunted with DHD-4 for two years until March 3861, when the Loneliness Devil attacked the division (Case #0063489, TODO). Redfield and the other three close-combat members of the division--Fairchild, Emile, and Yvoni--were killed in action. DHD-4's support caster, Lyrica, was captured and trapped in the Loneliness Devil's sub-dimension. She is considered missing in action, though is likely dead. The Devil then engaged Aidan directly, heavily injuring her but ultimately sparing her life.

For the following four months Aidan was treated in the hospital for her injuries. She recovered well, with the only remaining physical consequences of the fight being reduced fitness, a loss of stamina, numerous scars, and a limp which unfortunately disables her from close combat. As a result, she now walks with a cane and is prohibited from intentionally engaging in hand-to-hand combat, though she is allowed to provide fire support from a distance.

Upon her return to work, Aidan was promoted to Captain of a newly-reformed DHD-4.
