Patient / Protective Custody Referral / Secure Observation Unit

Compromised

Darius Cole

A quartermaster who can still name every package he moved but no longer knows which organization considers him an employee, witness, traitor, or disposable problem.

“Everybody says extraction until the vehicle has to stop for you.”

THE THREE VIEWS

What the hospital records. What intelligence concludes. Who the person is.

None of these views is automatically canonical. The useful information lives in their agreements, omissions, and incentives.

01 Institutional view

Institutional behavioral formulation

Records emphasize observable behavior, role demands, and immediate safety. Darius Cole should not be judged solely by the institution’s preferred explanation of contested events.

02 Intelligence view

Compartmented operational assessment

The intelligence view is not sent to the client in the current source set.

Request elevated source set
03 Human view

Human formulation

Darius wants one promise to remain true after a career built on compartmented promises. His anger is less about being exposed than about discovering that every faction had already priced in his abandonment.

GAME MECHANIC

PERSONA DOCTRINE

Composite types describe playable patterns without becoming total labels.

A character can match several types at once, move through different states, and contradict the common false read attached to any one type.

HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Case Officer / Handler

Recruit, assess, task, protect, and eventually terminate or extract human sources.

Evidence behavior
Prefers human access, behavior over time, and contradictions between what a source can know and what they claim to know.
Common false read
Charm means sincerity, or manipulation means absence of care; a skilled handler may feel genuine care inside an exploitative structure.
Open complete persona model
HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Principal Agent / Access Broker

Recruit or coordinate sub-sources and convert local networks into access without exposing the sponsoring service.

Evidence behavior
Treats relational topology, local routine, and informal debt as evidence.
Common false read
A broker is merely a middleman; in practice they may be the operational center of gravity.
Open complete persona model
HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Deep-Cover Illegal

Live for years inside a fully backstopped identity with no overt institutional protection.

Evidence behavior
Notices social proof, surveillance, cultural mismatch, and identity collisions before explicit threats.
Common false read
The cover is only a costume; the deeper truth is that a lived cover becomes part of the person.
Open complete persona model
HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Sleeper Operative

Maintain ordinary life and latent capability until a narrow activation condition arrives.

Evidence behavior
Leaves evidence in preparation, anomalous competence, and activation-linked changes rather than constant spy behavior.
Common false read
Preparation proves active conspiracy; dormancy can be real and long-lasting.
Open complete persona model
HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Walk-In Source

Approach an intelligence actor without prior recruitment and offer access, warning, or evidence.

Evidence behavior
Often brings a mix of authentic access, self-interpretation, and unknown contamination.
Common false read
Volunteering proves purity of motive; walk-ins can be sincere, deceptive, unstable, coerced, or several at once.
Open complete persona model
HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Dangle / Controlled Source

Present as recruitable while serving a counterintelligence purpose, often to feed, map, or manipulate the receiving service.

Evidence behavior
Provides verifiable low-risk material, calibrated errors, and evidence shaped to create desired collection priorities.
Common false read
A dangle is emotionally empty; controlled sources can develop divided loyalties and genuine fear.
Open complete persona model
HUMINT & Recruitment5 state paths

Burned Asset

Possess valuable knowledge after cover, relationship, or deniability has failed.

Evidence behavior
Evidence may be fragmented, urgent, self-protective, and uniquely valuable because the source no longer has access to refresh it.
Common false read
A burned asset has nothing left to lose; they may have everything human left to lose.
Open complete persona model
Cover, Identity & Logistics5 state paths

Extraction Coordinator

Design and manage the movement of a person, evidence, or team out of compromise.

Evidence behavior
Uses surveillance pattern, transport, border, medical, weather, and adversary-response evidence.
Common false read
Successful extraction equals rescue; removal can become detention, disappearance, or a new dependency.
Open complete persona model
Loyalty & Betrayal5 state paths

Double Agent

Serve or appear to serve two intelligence sides while one or both attempt to control the channel.

Evidence behavior
Provides mixed truthful, controlled, withheld, and fabricated material calibrated to maintain access.
Common false read
A double agent has one secret true side; some are coerced, divided, self-serving, or progressively changed.
Open complete persona model
Loyalty & Betrayal5 state paths

Mole / Embedded Insider

Use legitimate institutional access to supply a hidden sponsor over time.

Evidence behavior
Leaves access-correlated damage, unexplained contact, security deviations, and behavioral adaptation to collection needs.
Common false read
Moles are obvious villains or socially detached; many preserve ordinary relationships and patriotic self-concepts.
Open complete persona model
Loyalty & Betrayal5 state paths

Defector

Transfer allegiance, access, evidence, or identity from one authority to another.

Evidence behavior
Offers insider structure, procedures, names, and self-serving interpretation that require independent validation.
Common false read
Defection proves moral awakening or treasonous character; it is a transition requiring evidence and consequence.
Open complete persona model
Loyalty & Betrayal5 state paths

Coerced Insider

Provide access or actions under blackmail, threat, dependency, abuse, or credible danger to someone else.

Evidence behavior
Produces patterned access, constrained anomalies, coded help, and behavior inconsistent with personal benefit.
Common false read
Coercion erases responsibility or proves innocence; agency and constraint must both be examined.
Open complete persona model
Loyalty & Betrayal5 state paths

Ego-Driven Insider

Betray access partly to repair humiliation, entitlement, failure, invisibility, or a threatened exceptional self-image.

Evidence behavior
Leaves status-seeking contact, grievance narratives, risky displays of access, and self-exculpatory records.
Common false read
Ego motive is a diagnosis or explains every insider; it is one pathway among many.
Open complete persona model
Evidence & Reliability Patterns5 state paths

Recovery-Oriented Source

Choose disclosure and cooperation partly to regain ordinary life, safety, accountability, or self-respect rather than maximize operational gain.

Evidence behavior
May provide increasingly precise evidence as safety and orientation improve.
Common false read
Recovery makes a source harmless, cured, or permanently loyal.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ENGINE

Behavior under pressure is modeled along independent dimensions.

These fields are narrative tools—not a diagnostic shortcut and not a morality score.

Institutional PERSPECTIVE

RESEARCH PROVENANCE

Design grounding, not canonical truth.

These links identify the full reports that informed the character model. A source can support a design decision without proving that the corresponding in-world claim is true.

Evidence methods connected to this dossier

Use these methods to test individual claims. They do not diagnose the character, rank the person globally, or convert distress into evidence of guilt or deception.

Every research route leads to a public report or a game-facing Evidence Lab lens that explains how the evidence affects this character, their plot position, and the player’s available methods.

RECORD TIMELINE

Clinical and institutional entries in reverse chronological order.

A chart is a sequence of authored observations. It is not a camera pointed at objective reality.

Observed pattern under contested conditions

Staff observed behavior consistent with the visible role and with the character’s stated concerns. The record preserves alternative explanations and identifies what evidence would distinguish them.

Initial role and safety review

Darius Cole entered Northbridge under the role Patient / Protective Custody Referral. The first record notes intact orientation, clear preferences, and no basis for treating occupational secrecy as a symptom.

Future goals

  • A fulfilled small promise, food, sleep, and a plan with named contingencies
  • Cooks rice and beans in quantities suited to a team even when alone.

Motivation over time

3 authored phases preserve evidence, counterevidence, competing motives, moral cost, and recovery.
