Figured it’s time to expand a little on the characters and give additional back-story. Feels right after the big Edwards history chapter. Had to go a lot of pages back
to make Clarice bio fit Rellek’s description from a long time ago. Story consistency is key!
Updated biographies
“Sir, we received a message from Rellek. Some objection about Lamberti.”
“Denied.” Blackhead told his secretary. “Lamberti might be a ‘special’ individual, but I’m confident in his abilities. He gets the job done. I want you to send him
the updated bios of our T-STF agents, particularly our new number two Verbeck. Also add Morrow’s and Thomson’s bio. Alpha squad still needs a chopper pilot and
Anderson is the best we’ve got. Skyler should be satisfied to see her former pilot again. Thomson is my recommendation for the fifth Alpha squad spot. She doesn’t quite
meet the requirements, but she’s the best potential candidate we have. Send Rellek her files, I want him to decide whether he wants to accept her or not.”

Theresa Skyler is one of the most, if not THE most promising talent in recent years. Despite her young age it’s not unthinkable to mention her name in
the same breath as legends such as Herman Lanze. She prefers straight up frontal approaches, heavy assault is her specialty.
Name: Megan Verbeck
Nickname: “Lightning Bullet”
Born: 2061
Age: 27
Nationality: Solan
Height: 174cm
Weight: 60kg
Hair Color: Brown
Eye color: Emerald green
Special body characteristics: Belly button piercing
Youth:- Orphan
- Lived in Solan orphanage for three years, then adopted by Claudian family.
- Drifted into crime very early, killed her first man when she was sixteen.
- Worked as hired gun for underground gangs, made first contact with Lamont Senior, who realized her potential and started “investing” in her talent.
“Career”:2077-2079: Work for underground gangs.
2079-2082: Lamont Senior trained her to become a professional assassin.
2082-2085: Verbeck became part of Francesco Lamont’s private army. The playboy had inherited the company of his dead father.
2085-2087: Verbeck started to accept missions from various other parties, but remained close to Lamont corporation because of very well paying jobs.
2087-2088: Francesco Lamont made an offer Verbeck couldn’t decline and she became a permanent member of Lamont’s private army, and Francesco’s personal bodyguard.
2088: T-STF took down Lamont. Skyler offered Verbeck a spot on her squad, which Verbeck accepted. Not a difficult choice after her employer went down and her alternative would have been Icarian prison.
Instated as new #2 of Alpha squad.
Psych profile:
Confident. As an assassin not used to work in a team, and in the rare cases she had to, it was usually her calling the shots.
Both her and Skyler have strong, dominant personalities and there is definitely moderate conflict potential between them.
After their fight in Lamont Corporations it seems like they both share some mutual respect for each other, leaving us not too worried.
Furthermore we believe that Skyler will be able to keep her in line, should the situation really call for it.
Skills:Skyler accepted her without further testing. So, we only have rough estimates how she’d perform in the. (I.A.F.P.T)
Predictions:
Marksmanship: at least (All time top 5)
Physical test: at least (All time top 25)
Tactical: at least (All time top 50)
Recruiting Verbeck was a great initiative by Skyler. Her marksman skills are absolutely superb, making her the perfect replacement for KIA (Amelie Faye).

She started winning all monthly tournaments when she turned 15, making her father proud.
Military Career:2082-2083: Enlisted in United Empire Navy (UEN) when she turned 18. Her father wasn’t too happy about that. He would have preferred seeing her getting married

2083-2085: Left the navy and received training in covert ops.
2085-2088: Active spy. Operated deep behind enemy lines and delivered important information to our intelligence agencies.

Friendly, loyal, reliable. Valentine is known to be emotional and passionate. Her outreaching, and open personality stands out and builds a positive contrast to Skyler. Valentine acts as an essential stabilizing component of Alpha Squad.
Skills:Marksmanship: 512 Points/in 2088 (All time rank 5)
Physical test: 396 Points/in 2088 (All time top 250)
Tactical: 490 Points/in 2088 (All time top 25)

Youth:- Born to a die-hard military family
- Didn’t go to a traditional school, instead went to military Academy
Military Career:2075-2080: After getting her degree she remained at the Academy and became instructor.
2080-2083: Advanced military training.
2083-2086: Became "Colonel Blackhead's", later "General Blackhead’s" second in command.
2086-2088: When Blackhead became Supreme General she was replaced and decided to return to the Academy, instructing and training new military officers.
2088: Supreme General Blackhead recommended her for T-STF. Originally she was intended to lead the team. Her years of experience, skill, and leadership
competences made her a perfect choice. Surprisingly she was beaten by the youngsters Skyler, Rose and Faye, putting her in a still impressive #4 spot.
Psych profile:
Intelligent, analytic, team-focused. Emotionally extremely stable and durable, even under extreme conditions. Respects, and is highly impressed by
Skyler’s strengths. (Didn’t expect to get outclassed so decisively by anyone at T-STF’s tryouts.) But thinks that Skyler still has much to learn in terms of leadership however.
Also can’t stand Skyler’s arrogant attitude. They are good colleagues and get along, rather than being actual friends.
Skills:Marksmanship: 435 Points/in 2088 (All time top 50)
Physical test: 371 Points/in 2088 (All time top 300)

Swift is a great all rounder, with great marksman skills, good physical conditioning, and absolutely outstanding tactical capabilities. She was the clear favorite
to become Alpha’s number one, but was beaten by a certain elite paratrooper from the First Army.
