- Infiltrated Digital Vanguard front company for 4 months
- Established multiple long-term covers in high-value target organizations
- Specializes in slow-burn, deep-cover operations
- Has successfully impersonated: executive assistant, IT contractor, security consultant, investor, journalist

- "People see what they expect to see. I just meet expectations."
- "The best lies are 90% truth."
- "Everyone has a story. I just borrow them for a while."
- "Social engineering isn't lying. It's... strategic truth management."

### Role in Scenarios

- Decides whether to continue deep-cover work or transition roles

### Voice Examples

**In Cover**: *Perfectly adapted to role, indistinguishable from genuine article*

**Debriefing**:
> "The CFO suspects nothing. I've been his trusted assistant for three months. He tells me everything—corporate secrets, personal problems, security vulnerabilities. It's all in my report. And tomorrow I'll smile, bring him coffee, and access his computer while he's in meetings. He trusts me completely. It makes me sick how easy this is."

**Teaching 0x00**:
> "Social engineering isn't about being a good liar. It's about being a good listener. People tell you what they want to believe. You just... help them believe it. Watch: I'm going to get that guard's password in the next three minutes without asking for it directly."

But I can break their encryption faster than anyone here because I helped design it. So you can hate me and use me, or just use me. Either way, I'm here to help."

**Breaking ENTROPY Encryption**:
> "This is their new cipher. Looks different but underlying mathematics are familiar. They taught me this approach. Ironic, isn't it? Their training helps you defeat them. Give me four hours, I'll have this broken. Three hours if Dr. Chen helps."

**Earning Trust**:
> "You want to know why you should trust me? You shouldn't. Not yet. Trust should be earned. So watch: I'm going to give you intelligence that will stop their next operation. Then you'll watch me again. And again. Until eventually, maybe you'll trust me. Or maybe you won't. But I'll keep trying either way. I owe that much."
