Agent "Harkley"

**Agent "Harkley"** is an undercover intelligence operative for the True Sons Counterintelligence Force, answering to Captain Cameron Maddox, and a part of his spy ring.

An expert in logistics and supply coordination, "Harkley" has been assigned to aid The Fireflies, an anti-western terrorist group aligned with the True Sons, in their activities, by ensuring a steady stream of manpower and materials are provided, and by smuggling their operatives around the world, mainly using next-generation stealth submarines. Currently, he has $14 million dollar contract placed upon by him by The Underground Table in retaliation for the FNF and Fireflies' attack on Moscow by several Slavic crime families who lost friends, loved ones and resources in the attack.

## Profile

Agent "Harkley" is believed to have been a member of either the U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps who later enlisted as a CIA Logistics Officer. During his first, and last field assignment in Polynesia, his duty was to help ensure U.S. military airdrops landed in the hands of government forces, who the U.S. was covertly backing in their war against a supposed terrorist group.

However, "Harkley" became convinced that the "terrorists" were actually freedom fighters fighting against a corrupt government, especially after discovering international financial aid meant to go to communities suffering from a Cholera outbreak had gone directly into the local King's personal account. In secret, he began funneling those supplies to the insurgent groups, using fake coordinates to land the airdrops squarely in rebel territory.

While he had been right about the government being corrupt, the group he'd been supporting were in fact terrorists, and after supplying them with a shipment of C4, the Polynesian Embassy in Washington D.C. was bombed shortly afterwards, killing 15 Americans. Knowing that sooner or later he'd be traced back to the shipment, "Harkley" disappeared, reportedly seeking political asylum in Cambodia, a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.

Later, he'd be recruited by the Counterintelligence Force while in Morocco, and given an assignment. To support the True Sons ally, international anti-western terrorist group The Fireflies. Under "Harkley", the Fireflies have managed to use a vast network of stealth submarines to smuggle men and materials freely across the world freely, completely under the radar of international authorities.

During one operation, he helped to ensure Casey's Contractors were supplied with the required materials for Operation Blackjack despite efforts by Argus to intercept them. This included smuggling in two UH-60 Blackhawks into the United Kingdom using dozens of Geneva Strategic Alliance ships to smuggle in each part individually before having them assembled at an underground garage in Cambridge before having them sent to a British military base outside London before soldiers loyal to Fireflies spy Colonel Jennifer "Bio-Brit" Sandhurst, covertly flew them under cover of darkness to the Casey's Contractors' designated extraction spot.

Not much is known about "Harkley's" personality or beliefs, but it's believed he a meticulous and methodical individual who takes pride in finding ways to sneak past supposedly "impossible" barriers. He is also a keen eye who memorizes faces quickly, and can sense of if something is "off" about someone; a skillset that will come in handy should Argus or the 34th Vipers attempt to send in spies to the Fireflies.
