## Background

Explicit details of his early and personal life remain classified, but what is known was that he was born and raised in New York City and ever since childhood was an avid lover of science, more specifically of animals, paleontology, and evolution. In school he excelled in almost every subject with the exception of math (which he joked that it was nemesis for his school years), and particularly was a superstar when it came to biology. Similar to Operative Hill, he had forged a connection with the American Museum of Natural History, which further piqued his interest in paleontology, evolution, and science as a whole. Later on he would become a volunteer at the Museum, and thanks to his mother (who worked there), had connections to not just the Museum, but the scientific community, which allowed him various roles and opportunities both within the Museum as well as within other scientific institutions, among them being Yale's prolific Paleontology program.

Prior to the 2014 incidents, he had entertained the possibility of creatures existing whose heights rivaled skyscrapers, but it wasn't something that really occurred to him, since as far as he knew, it was impossible and was merely a work of fiction. That changed when the 2014 attacks happened, and the existence of not only Godzilla and the MUTOs was revealed, but also the fact that creatures like these were indeed real. Due to New York's close proximity with the ocean (which opened up the possibility of Godzilla coming ashore) as well as the incident that occurred afterward with MUTO Prime, there were widespread fears about what could happen in regard to the creatures, later coined Titans. While being afraid, FossilBoi was also fascinated with the idea of the Titans existing, and was eager to learn more about them. At the time, a Titan hotline of sorts was made to report sightings to the government, and these sightings were released police-scanner style. He had read all the reports and his fascination grew, even when others were weirded out by it. When he went with his friends upstate to Kingston, they had gone on a hike through the Slide Mountain Wilderness. During the hike, he was walking ahead of the group on the trail, and while caught in conservation with his friends, accidentally walked off trail and down a hill. The fall took him deeper into the woods, and when all was said and done, he found himself lost and separated. He attempted to retrace his steps, but he found himself moving in a different direction. After a few hours, night was falling. After walking, he decided to climb a tree and sleep in the branches. After checking for animals, he fell asleep. A few minutes later, he heard what sounded like a vehicle nearby. He descended and went toward the sound. He came across a dirt road running through the woods, and driving through it was a Humvee with a white logo on it that resembled a bowtie (little did he know then that it was a Monarch logo). He discreetly followed it, hoping it would take him somewhere where he could find help. He ended up following it to a gated perimeter, where signs read 'Government Land; Do Not Enter'. He went to the chainlink fence and tried to see what was on the other side. The dirt road continued, and in the distance was what looked like some dim lights in the distance. Before he could look closer, he was stopped and accosted by some armed guards on patrol, who took him into custody in a truck nearby. After an hour, FossilBoi was placed in police custody, and was later returned to the precinct in Kingston, where his friends waited after he was allowed to call them, and luckily, no charges were filed, just a slap on the wrist and a warning not to enter that site again.

Four years later in 2018, right after watching *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom*, he saw an Internet survey issued by 'Monarch Sciences'. This was recommended via a 'friend-of-a-friend' situation with Museum scientists. The survey's questions ranged from questions about science to others about future goals to ones about random things such as knowledge of mythology. After completing it, a message appeared saying 'Be Prepared For Potential Email Response'. After a few days, an email was sent, saying that he was invited for a job interview in Brooklyn, more specifically Coney Island. Preparing for a possible setup, FossilBoi stepped out with his resume and things in hand as well as a taser in his pocket. The interview took place at the New York Aquarium, which was closed. He met up with Monarch Technological Director Sam Coleman, who interviewed him in the empty Conservation Hall exhibit. The interview carried on like a regular job interview, but the final question was him asking if FossilBoi was interested in joining Monarch. After a few minutes of consideration, he agreed.

## Time at Monarch

He first started out at Monarch as a junior lab operative, working at Castle Bravo, Monarch's prestigious and then-new flagship headquarters in Bermuda. Housing and everything he needed were provided, and the job wasn't too difficult. Here was when FossilBoi met many Monarch figures, such as Dr. Stanton, Dr. Chen and her twin Dr. Ling, Coleman again of course, Dr. Graham, Dr. Russell (before her involvement in the incident in 2019), and of course, Dr. Serizawa. He later learned of many facilities (or outposts as they're referred to as) set up at various locations worldwide, from Arizona to Australia. He had helped Monarch find the Titan then known as Kraken (later officially dubbed Titanus Na Kika) in the Indian Ocean, and his excellent performance was only the beginning, for over the course of a few months, his efforts helped chart, locate, research, and analyze various Titans, which resulted in FossilBoi gradually climbing the chain of command. Around the time of the Mass Awakening, he was Assistant Director of Titan Discovery and Zoological Research, a department with two equally complex halves. He was present at Castle Bravo when former Monarch biologist Mark Russell arrived, shortly after Outpost 61 was raided. He had gone to use the bathroom and came back to his workstation when the shields in the main room were lowered and witnessed Godzilla's 'intimidation display' (needless to say he was glad he had used the bathroom before Godzilla's sudden exit). He remained at Castle Bravo throughout the incident, and when Admiral Stenz's forces needed help tracking the Titans, he was among many who transferred data about the Titans' locations and attributes. In the aftermath, when many more Titans were being discovered and classified, he was selected to be in charge of the Department due to his track record and capable leadership skills.

FossilBoi's new position opened up more responsibilities and jobs, but allowed connections throughout all of Monarch. He also was sent out to various locations on missions to investigate, and among them was Wittenberg Mountain, the location of which was near the same facility that he almost trespassed in years before. This was why Titanus Hahnunah was the first Titan he properly documented as Director, due to this memory he had. Around this time was when his two infamous aliases were born. 'Terrance Sumdac' was the alias he had used to infiltrate a Titan parts black market ring, disguised as a mysterious and withdrawn buyer of Titan DNA, and his skills resulted in the rapid shutdown of that ring. The name had worked a few other times in similar situations, though at one point, the name almost didn't work due to the mission's targeted DNA dealer seemingly recognizing the name (though it turns out he didn't remember what the name was connected to). Another name used was Dr. Wallace, which was used to remain anonymous during a sting involving an ex-Monarch scientist involved with a known Titan DNA trafficker. Various other aliases were used for similar operations, earning FossilBoi the nickname 'The Man with a Thousand Names.' He still is in charge of this sector of Monarch, and oversees the efforts to locate and track new Titans as well as research them. He is hopeful for peaceful coexistence between humanity and Titans, as well as fascinated by whatever else is out there, whether it be Titan or not, waiting to be discovered.

## Personality

Despite his many tasks to fill and the heavy demand the job requires, FossilBoi remains dedicated to it, as well as the wellbeing of Monarch, civilians, and to the Titans. He often tries his hardest to settle any possible disputes between people peacefully, and always wants to hear both sides to every story. He likes to encourage creativity and passion to those who write about what they see, and his fascination with science and animals makes his relationship with the Titans sacred, as he is fascinated by how diverse and complex they are and how evolution and nature made them that way. That said, he doesn't like to be bothered when particularly hampered by workloads, and takes his job seriously and will not hesitate to throw the rulebook at operatives who do not listen to orders or act out of line.

## Notes on Agent

* Is a big fan of *Jurassic Park*, and will not shut up when engaged in such a topic.

## Trivia

* He is both the founder of MCT as well as (IRL note incoming) the guy who is writing this.
* FossilBoi's Dr. Wallace alias stems from his fascination with cryptozoology, in particular stemming from a supposed scientist named E.L. Wallace, a possibly nonexistent man who claimed to have identified the Moores Beach Monster that washed ashore in California in 1925 and said it was a plesiosaur, when it was in reality a rotting beaked whale, and there were many ideas on whether or not E.L. Wallace even existed.
