## Biography

### Early life

Not much is known about Anna Foley's past. However, what is known is thatbefore the events of *Revival: Operation Holy Spirit*, she had gone on a summer missions trip to Nevada. Unfortunately, the trip went south when she fell victim to human traffickers. Fortunately, TACITUS agent Derek Westbrook led a successful rescue mission and rescued Anna.

### Life: A Compilation

Anna returns in the short story collection titled *Life: A Compilation*. In the compilation story, she is first seen in the story "Faith vs. Religion", where she speaks with a kidnapping survivor named Sandy Martin about the difference between religion and faith. She later appears in the story "The Hated", in which she meets a depressed teenager named Elizabeth Briggs, who confides with Anna about her traumatic past. Anna immediately sympathizes with Elizabeth, and later attempts to share the Gospel with her. The outcome of the conversation is currently unknown, though it is implied that Elizabeth responded positively to Anna's message of hope.

## Forms

Egoism exists in three main forms:

* Ethical egoism, which claims that humans, as moral agents, have an obligation to do things in their self interest
* Psychological egoism , which claims that all things people ever do are out of their own self interest and that nothing is done out of altruism.
* Rational egoism , the idea that an action is rational if and only if it maximizes someone's self interest

Operation Silver Ghost

**Operation Silver Ghost**is an illegal human experimentation program created by the Department of Defense that is considered an "upgrade" of the CIA's Operation Blackfish. It is referred to as "Blackfish on steroids" by several staff members of the CIA.

## Overview

Operation Silver Ghost is by far the most extreme out of all the Alpha Programs  run by the shady members of the United States government. Like Blackfish, Silver Ghost operatives were trained to assassinate, eliminating targets with brutal efficiency. However, they are much more extreme than Blackfish, with agents being subjected to mental conditioning which exceeds that of Blackfish agents. Like Blackfish, they utilized mind control to condition their agents. However, their conditioning procedures are said to be so extreme that some agents have been known to have "gone mad" during missions and embark on reckless rampages, having been transformed into sadistic psychopaths due to their conditioning. They display few emotions and relentless tenacity during missions (only when activated). When "dormant", or not activated, they display normal emotions. Tamara Sultanovich has called Silver Ghost agents "apathetic killing machines".

Silver Ghost assets are commonly described as sadistic, reckless and psychotic, often using guerilla warefare against enemies. They are notorious for embarking on bloodthirsty rampages during a mission.

## Weapons and equipment

Unlike Blackfish, Operation Silver Ghost's agents are equipped with a wide range of gadgets and weaponry that make them appear to behave like "21st Century Ninjas" at times. Agents are sometimes seen wearing "sonar goggles" (goggles with sonar capabilities) with their outfits. They use a variety of weaponry, some modern and some resembling things you'd see in a James Bond movie.

The **Korean Insurgency**refers to an ongoing series of conflicts between the Special Defense Pact and scattered remnants of the former Korean People's Army, in addition to a Korean resistance movement, following the collapse of the Democratic Empire of Korea. These conflicts stem from the Koreans' belief that the Democratic Empire of Korea, though destroyed, can and will one day be restored to its former glory.
Blackfish-3

**Blackfish-3** (Code name **Clyde Walcott**) was an asset for Operation Blackfish.

## Biography

Blackfish-3 was seen spying on Emmett and Jill while the two of them were having a conversation in a diner during Jill's first night living in the town of Hadford, having moved there after her father got a new job in the town. He was spotted by Emmett Mack, but escaped before he could be arrested.

The next morning, he was found dead, having been assassinated by a member of the Followers of the One, known only by the code-name Queen Cobra. His death was ruled as a homocide. When Operation Blackfish was exposed to the public, Blackfish-3's status as a CIA assassin for Blackfish was revealed.

Olivia Nazari

Dagmara Nazari (Daughter)

**Olivia Nazari**is the radicalized wife of Farid Nazari and the mother of Dagmara Nazari. Out of everybody in the Nazari family, Olivia was considered to be the most radicalized, surpassing that of her husband and even her daughter. However, her daughter Dagmara was soon revealed to be the most extreme out of all of them, with Dagmara revealing to have had a history of "killing for sport".

## Biography

Not much is known about Olivia's early life, but it is known that she and her husband Farid were married in 2013. In 2014, they both joined the Islamic State, alongside their daughter Dagmara. The Nazaris planned to have a long, notorious terrorist career, vowing to destroy the enemies of Islam as long as they still existed in the world.

They participated in an alternate reality game/scavenger hunt in an attempt to find and destroy the organization that built it. However, the operation backfired when her husband Farid was killed by rival "players " after he made the mistake of abducting a fellow player. Olivia escaped, but not before engaging in a fight with the rival players.

She then learned that the true builder of the game was, much to her surprise, another terrorist organization named New Dawn. She tried to reach out to Trinity Smithsburg, hoping to form a partnership with New Dawn so they could avenge her husband together. However, that attempt ended in failure when Trinity double crossed Olivia and captured her, along with her men, proceeding to torture Olivia and her men for information regarding the Islamic State's intentions after they hypothetically won the game.

Her interrogation session was interrupted when Nether Company, Shadow Force, Task Force Reaper, Black Rhino and Orion agents were confirmed to have infiltrated Trinity's hideout. In the ensuing brawl, Olivia attempted to escape the premises, but was apprehended by Task Force Reaper, before being handed over to the police.
Cliffbrook

**Las Vegas** (later known as **Cliffbrook**) is a major American city featured in the TACITUS saga. It is known by the nickname "Sin City" because of the so-called "immoral" things that occur in the city limits, ranging from prostitution to strip clubs, to bars, and most notably, casinos.

## HIstory

*Main articles:* Second American Revolution.

Las Vegas was invaded and occupied by Raven's Rock and the Sinner Brigade, during the events of the Second American Revolution. After the coup against Benjamin King succeeds, the new government renames Las Vegas **Cliffbrook**, but the city's reputation as a "Sin City" remained.
Shawn Martin

**Shawn Martin** is the founder and current head of the Followers of the One, a Christian fundamentalist movement. He is considered a rather "unorthodox" person with "extreme" views of the Bible and of Christianity in general.

## Biography

He is first seen on TV when Emmett arrives in Hadford, but he does not really do anything in the book itself. Rather, it is his "muscle", his adopted son Bradley Martin, that does much of the action.

He is first seen preaching to a mass of people on live television. After that, he is mentioned a couple times throughout the storyline,

His last appearance is towards the end of the story, where he calls for the blood of CIA director Arthur Holmes and some of his cronies, and later commissions his adopted son Bradley to bring Arthur's head to him on a platter. However, Emmett Mack beats him to it and gets Arthur Holmes arrested, which Shawn presumably allows to prevent any more murders in Hadford.

## Trivia

* He was originally supposed to actively participate in the investigation of the murders, but this was scrapped.
* He was also originally supposed to lead a lynch mob against Arthur Holmes, but this was also scrapped.
* He is also the first minor character to be part of a cult.
Farid Nazari

Farid prior to his escape from captivity

**Abu Farid Nazari** (or just **Farid Nazari**) is a terrorist. He is a member of the Islamic State .

## Biography

Not much is known about Farid's early life, aside from the fact that he was born and raised in Aleppo, Syria. At one point in his life, he became radicalized after meeting Osama bin Laden, who indoctrinated him with the ideals of Wahhabi Islam and Islamic extremism. He spent some time in Al-Qaeda, training to become a jihadist under bin Laden's guidance. Sometime later, he was recruited into the Islamic State of Syria and the Levant, having found favor in the eyes of its founder and leader, Abu Bakr Muhammad.

Later on in his life, he met and married a British woman named Olivia , whom he also helped to radicalize. Together, they also had a daughter, Dagmara Nazari.

His terrorist career would come to a head when the Islamic State made a fatal mistake: abducting someone in an attempt to sabotage a game they were playing.

## Personality

Farid Nazari was described as a cold, apathetic man who didn't care about human lives but only cared about advancing extremist Islam and its goals of a global caliphate. He is described by many as a completely amoral monster with blatant disregard to the preciousness of human lives. He is so apathetic to the point where, whenever his own men die, he just shrugs it off as if it is nothing, justifying his feelings by claiming that his men are "better off in Paradise anyway." According to Vinnie Crosby, he is more of an egoist control freak than a Muslim. He is also considered the direct opposite of Derek Westbrook, who is extremely loyal and cares about his friends and people under his care, whereas Farid is willing to let his men die and considers civilian casualties acceptable in his ultimate goal of defeating the West.

Blackhat

Type
 Specialty
 Affiliation

**Blackhat** (also known as **BlackHat** or **Black Hat**) is a smartphone application that can transform ordinary smartphones into deadly hacking devices. The app has been used for making botnets (networks of remotely controlled electronic devices) and crashing entire websites, in addition to hijacking unmanned vehicles, particularly drones.

## History

No one knows when or who invented the app, but what is known is that the app was invented during the time of the Technological Revolution and that the anonymous team of programmers were hackers from the Federation and the Christian Republic of New Russia. Their identities have not been confirmed.

However, the app itself has been used in various different operations both for and against various countries, particularly sabotage, DDOS, and the creation of botnets.

## Operation

The app is installed through either an online source, or as an APK on a smartphone. Once installed, the app is used to remotely hack into any WiFi or computer network, allowing the user to either crash the computer\online network or remotely control another person's device. As the years went by, upgraded versions of the app were released, with the first prototype only capable of remotely controlling PCs, other smartphones, and remote control toy cars. Once the app was upgraded, it granted users the ability to remotely control unmanned aerial vehicles and drone vehicles.

Geena Westbrook

*"Even if God exists, does it even matter?"*

- Gina Westbrook regarding her view on God or any other higher power.

**Geena Westbrook**is a character in the TACITUS saga. She is a member of Shadow Force and he is also the foster sibling of Corinne Westbrook, Kristen Westbrook and Derek Westbrook

## Biography

Not much is known about Gina's early life. What is known is that she was adopted by the Westbrooks after her biological parents deserted her at an unknown point in her life. At one point in her life, she ended up in the University of St. Louis and joined Alpha Xi Delta , also known as Shadow Force.

## In TACITUS saga

Gina first appears in Life: A Compilation. She reappears in the story Revival: Operation Holy Spirit as a minor character. She sees Derek off as he goes to Fall Getaway, a Christian retreat hosted by a campus ministry organization known as Campus Crusade.

Gina herself does not attend Fall Getaway due to having prior commitments with Alpha Xi Delta.

## Personal life

### Spiritual/religious background

Gina is an atheist, but she is open to listening to people talk about faith and spirituality. She generally has a negative view of faith and religion, seeing both as pretty much the same thing, in addition to having a mistrusting view towards any sort of higher power.

### Personality

It is known that Gina has anger management problems, but she generally is a happy, sociable person. Gina is also concerned a very loyal person, staying by her sorority sisters no matter the cost, and willing to fight tooth and nail to protect them. She also has this same mentality towards her older siblings. She and Derek see themselves as "guardian angels" over each other's circle of friends.

## Trivia

* She is the oldest of the Westbrook children, although Derek looks deceptively older than her.
* Geena's skepticism of God or any form of religion is most likely due to bad experiences with Christianity, much like her brother Derek.
Stickland

**Stickland**is the name given to an alternate 2-D universe that is populated by Stick Figures (the namesake of the alternate dimension).

## Stickland vs. 3D Universe

For the most part, things are the same in Stickland as they are in the 3D universe. 3D objects still do exist in this 2-D world. However, there are some notable differences between the so-called "3D Universe" and Stickland. Most notable differences are as follows:

* Bigger 3D objects= In Stickland, 3D objects appear to be much bigger than in the 3D Universe. For example, a couch in the 3D universe would be as big as a king sized bed in Stickland.
* Bullets don't kill 3D people, but they annihilate 2D stick people-A 3D person getting shot by a gun-toting 2D stick figure will feel a painful sensation similar to being hit by paintballs. However, if a 3D person shoots and hits a 2D stick figure, said stick figure will be blown in half.
* Deadlier hand-to-hand combat= Similarly, if a 3D person punches a 2D person, he or she will die almost instantly. On the other hand, a 2D stick figure is far weaker than a 3D person, with a 3D person requiring at least fifty to sixty hits to effectively destroy.

## Trivia

* This alternate dimension was inspired by real life stick figure video games.
* Oddly, 2D stick figures crossing over into the 3D world will become 3D people, but 3D people crossing over into the 2D Stickland world will not become stick people themselves.

## Notable residents

Grace Solt

**Grace M. Solt**is a character in the TACITUS saga. She is a resident of Hadford, Montana who is treated as an outcast by other people as a result of her "unorthodox" ideas about life. She had a minor role in investigating the Hadford Homicides.

## Biography

### Early years

Not much is known about her early life. However, what is known is that sometime after high school, she sought to be in the acting business. She starred in various short forms in her college years, before abruptly transitioning to modeling in order to support herself. After she graduated college, Grace moved to the town of Hadford, Montana.

### The Mack Coalition

Grace Solt is introduced in the third chapter of The Mack Coalition, described by the neighbors as a woman with "wacky ideas".

She then disappears for a large portion of the storyline, only to reappear in the chapter Paydirt, where she is briefly seen assisting Emmett Mack in investgating the murders and stalking incidents that have occurred in the town. She appears for the last time in the chapter titled "Last Day in Hadford", where she attends a victory party after Operation Blackfish is exposed.

## Personality

Grace is a mysterious individual who is shunned upon by the locals of Hadford for her "wacky ideas." It is currently unknown what exaclty her unorthodox views are. However, despite being looked down upon,  she is seen to be a helpful person, evidenced by how she helped Emmett investigate the murder of Paul Shapiro, the boyfriend of Megan Bailey, another resident in Hadford.

## Trivia

* It is implied that she is an atheist (much like the movie star she is physically modeled after) because of her "unorthdoox views".
* She is by far the first character with the least amount of interactions with Emmett Mack (though it is implied that they are at least on good terms with each other).
Canada

**Leader** | Unknown

Superpredators

The **Superpredators** refer to a gang of juvenline delinquents active throughout the 1990s. It was founded as a sort of "inner circle" consisting of juvenline delinquents and troubled young adults. They were named after a real life concept thought up by John J. DiIulio, Jr. who predicted a surge in teenage criminals in the 1990s.

## History

The Superpredators were formed in the 1990s, which (in the alternate timeline where the TACITUS saga takes place), youth crime abruptly skyrocketed. John J. Dilulio Junior's predictions (which failed in our timeline) came true and youth crime became a rather persistent problem for America, having become an even bigger issue than terrorism.

Gerald Moore first encountered the Superpredators during a series of incidents in 1994 to 1996. Their biggest claim to fame was a perceived "act of redemption", in which the Superpredators, followed by Gerald Moore, tracked down and thwarted the attempted murder of a young woman by the Black Falcon, a sociopathic, misanthropic, psychotic spree killer ,

Soon after this, the Superpredators went into hiding. Their current status is unknown.

The **Raven Theater** **of World War III**refers to Raven's role in the global conflict between the Western World and the Islamic State of New Palestine and the Democratic Empire of Korea. It involves both cyber-warfare and physical warefare on both sides. It is also notorious for having lasted the longest.

## Build-up

This war started when Raven launched a cyberattack against both the Democratic Empire of Korea and the Islamic State of New Palestine. The cult justified this by claiming that both evil empires had "crossed the line" in terms of terrorist atrocities and that the time had come to fight back.

Raven used a nasty cyber-weapon to cripple the Democratic Empire of Korea's online defense network and the Islamic State's propaganda machine. This led to a flurry of war declarations on both sides, which soon escalated into a new front in the war against both empires.

Vapor in the Wind

**Vapor in the Wind**is the third entry in the TACITUS series. It is the sequel to The Mack Coalition in terms of publishing order. However, the story occurs after the events of Revival: Operation Holy Spirit chronologically.

## Plot summary

On a late night metro train ride in New York City, New York, French tourist and police officer Laurette Sorel encounters an American girl who claims that someone is trying to murder the two of them. Her claims are dismissed as nonsense; that is, until a team of assassins led by a man known as Coyote arrives to murder the American woman. Sorel and a couple other Good Samaritans successfully foil the murder attempt, but the girl and Sorel are both injured. Local police question both the intended target and the Good Samaritans for information regarding the attempted murder, but the girl only reveals three things: the phrases “My boyfriend knew” and “Coyote wants blood”, and the name “Dratchev.” Believing that the names and phrases are connected, Sorel joins forces with local police and new friends to investigate. In the process, they stumble upon a web of criminal enterprises, drugs, and professional killers.

## Trivia

* This story was inspired by Gone Tomorrow, a novel in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.

## Quotes

- Laurette Sorel to Joyce D. Briggs

Dog goes woof, cat goes meow.
Bird goes tweet, and mouse goes squeak.
Cow goes moo. Frog goes croak, and the elephant goes toot.
Ducks say quack and fish go blub, and the seal goes ow ow ow.
But there's one sound that no one knows...
What does the fox say?

What the fox say?

Big blue eyes, pointy nose, chasing mice, and digging holes.
Tiny paws, up the hill, suddenly you're standing still.

Your fur is red, so beautiful, like an angel in disguise.
But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse, mo-o-o-o-orse, mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that h-o-o-orse, h-o-o-orse, h-o-o-orse?
What does the fox say?!

The secret of the fox, ancient mystery.
Somewhere deep in the woods, I know you're hiding.
What is your sound? Will we ever know?
Will always be a mystery what do you say?

You're my guardian angel hiding in the woods.
What is your sound?
