Phineus Fayed, Vindicare Assassin Description: Phineus is average in almost every way. Of medium build with nondescript face, the man doesn't look to be in particularly good shape, though he's not fat by any means. Probably average for his age, though even that is hard to place. He has a few stray grey hairs, but it's difficult to tell if this is because he's greying early or not. He has no distinctive scars and, in fact, doesn't appear to have seen much action at all. Perhaps a little run down, but what middle class worker isn't in the Imperium? Statistics:

The Record of Phineus Fayed:
Phineus was born on one of the many Hive world of the Imperium. If you ask him, he'll say that he doesn't even remember which. Sometimes he's not lying. Early records show very little information of Phineus as a teenager. There is some indication that he was recruited during the investigation of a cult, but it is unclear whether he was a member, or was recruited prior and then inserted inside. Much of the report has been redacted, including the name of the world. Most of his early career consists of both short and long term undercover work. He was tasked out to various operations to provide support, and on a few occasions provided consultation work on covert agent handling procedures. One notable operation was the infiltration of a Sibellus underhive criminal enterprise. The organization had done several raids on an Adeptus Hab and stole very serious equipment. It took a year for Phineus to infiltrate the scroungers, becoming part of the crew and learning their ways, eventually tracking down and retrieving all of the missing gear. Many members of the cells were eventually recruited based on Phineus' recommendation with the rest being eradicated. These missions did not come without consequences, to Phineus' mind as well as his body. It got to the point that he felt he was being rebuilt after each mission, both inside and out. Sometimes he felt half human, other times even less. Phineus found it harder and harder to hold on to who he was after losing himself in the role he was assigned. It was after his longest assignment that his mind broke and nearly never recovered. A three year operation to infiltrate an organization whose reach spanned several planets, a scope almost beyond comprehension. The records are spotty concerning how Phineus first gained access, and then lose track of him until his rise in prominence within the organization. There were many operatives working the mission, but few played as much a part as he in taking down the leaders. Due to its far reaching nature, the Inquisition is still hunting down and cleansing the cells, but the overall organization has been dissembled. Unfortunately for Phineus, his mind had been completely broken by the ordeal. Before he’d easily been able to slip into a new identity as he would a shirt, but now he couldn’t hold on to one for more than a few moments, and none seemed real to him. The Tenebrae Collegiate took notice and decided that with work; perhaps Phineus could become a valuable agent. After a year of therapy and training he slowly rebuilt his own psyche from the ground up. Even stronger and more flexible than before, Phineus found himself and with a renewed purpose rejoined the fold ready for work. The records show no assignments in the time between taking down the shadow government to the one that he has become most famous for, though there are rumors that he advised several high level functionaries and managed counter-intelligence for a handful of organizations. His next recorded assignment, and the one he is so well known for, was the infiltration of the crew of Hazael the Unseeing, one of the most famous Inquisitors of the Calixis Sector. In those early days there was only a growing concern that he might be spreading heresy, though, of course, we now know that those concerns were well founded. But Hazael had many connections, and even friends, within the Inquisition, and so it took a long time for action to be taken. As usual, the records are unclear on exactly how Phineus gained the man’s trust, though what is known is that he used the crew’s Judge, a woman whose judgment Hazael trusted implicitly. Phineus quickly became a trusted member of the crew and worked beside them like a brother. As you can read from the scripts of the interrogations of the survivors, Phineus’ betrayal hit them all quite hard. Some still not believing that he was the traitor. Magistrate Evailyn, apparently, was caught the most unawares. As the story goes, Phineus had gained her trust through a romantic relationship. This isn’t in the report, but it would explain the reaction. Then again, Magistrates aren’t known for taking betrayal lightly no matter the relationship prior. We’re all aware of how Hazael met his end, but what is lesser know is what happened to Phineus afterward. His body was left a wreck by the combined wrath of Hazael and his Judge, but he survived. It took a full year to recover. During which the rest of Hazael’s resources were being tracked down and finally extinguished. Unfortunately we haven’t found them all, but we’ll get there. The Emperor is patient. It is our determination that long term undercover work will be problematic due to Phineus Fayed’s recent high profile activity. Hazael was well known within the Inquisition and without and still has allies even after his death. We have received a request to take this servant in to the Temple for training. We concur. As once this man’s mind was rebuilt, so too shall his body be. He has the natural talent, patience, and fortitude for infiltration work and we feel that he will serve well. Let him carry out the Emperor’s work…if he survives the training.
