Falcon Green
By Anders Sandberg Oct. 1994The New World Order has many agents working in the field to gather information, execute orders and eliminate enemies. Although some are Awakened or otherwise augmented, many of the most efficient are in fact Sleepers. One such agent is code named Falcon Green.
Falcon is an average-looking man, indeterminately aged and with unremarkable appearance. He is in fairly good shape, but hardly a bodybuilder. His hair is naturally black, but just like his eye color its color varies depending on the mission. He usually has no scars or other distinguishing marks.
What is special about Falcon is his mind. He has been trained by the NWO to become the perfect agent. Before each mission his old personality is erased and replaced by a new convincing personality complete with a faked background, memories and personality quirks. Through the years he has been many things and had lots of different personalities. Someone who has met him as a mailman will hardly recognize him as a banker.
To protect him from mental scans he has been trained to submerge his real goals and thoughts deep in his subconscious. Most of the time he both thinks and acts completely according to his role, and a mental scan will only reveal his faked personality. Certain stimuli, like coded orders hidden in newspapers or the sighting of certain people bring the hidden parts of his mind into focus. Another way of executing his orders is to influence the conscious thoughts of his role from the subconscious level. The mailman "accidentally" puts certain letters in the wrong mailbox. The security guard overlooks the fact that credentials of certain people are fakes and that some people enter the building at very odd times.
Falcon has very little left of his own personality now. In fact he does not remember very much about himself at all, except his latest missions (and usually these memories are suppressed during duty, to prevent them from interfering). He doesn't remember his own name very well, and he has no recollection of his childhood. On the other side, he has experienced a lot during his missions and is extremely skilled in many areas. He is equally able to assassinate a politician as sell cars or write for a newspaper. He feels happy when he can look back on a mission well done, something which may be the result of NWO programming.
It may seem surprising, but Falcon doesn't know very much about the Technocracy. He has no real understanding of its goals or size, and he doesn't believe in magick (despite the many strange things seen in his service). After each mission he is returned to a local NWO head quarters, debriefed and reprogrammed, and then his memory of the whole event is blanked. Most of his spare time is spent living quiet, unassuming lives in the anonymity of big cities.

Falcon has no specializations, since his main advantage is to be as general as possible. He has no fixed backgrounds, but can, depending on mission, have influence, allies, contacts or resources.
Falcon has a constant Mind effect which either hides his real thoughts under innocuous ones, or encrypts them completely. If a mage doesn't realize this and uses Mind effects on him, it will just affect his fake surface personality, and can be overridden by the real Falcon at will. He also has a secret subconscious order which will kill him if he is ever captured and unable to resist interrogation.
