C., Baba Yaga, Jael (defunct)<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong> ?, apparently in her late twenties or early thirties<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong> <br/>     <em>Height:</em> 5' 9"<br/>     <em>Weight:</em> 147 lbs<br/>     <em>Hair:</em> Brown<br/>     <em>Eyes:</em> Brown<br/>    <br/><strong>Occupation:</strong> Director of the Foundry<br/><br/><strong>Specialties:</strong><br/><em>Marksmanship:</em> The Director is a crack shot with most small arms and can handle a rifle quite well.<br/><em>Combatives:</em> The Director is highly trained in close quarters armed and unarmed combat. She is highly capable for a woman her size, and excels with improvised weapons.<br/><em>Organisation:</em> The Director knows the ins and outs of her domain with intimate familiarity, and precious little happens within the Foundry of which she is unaware.<br/><em>Manipulation:</em> The Director clearly has extensive PsyOps experience, as well as an instinct for finding the leverage and weak points in the psyches of others.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses/Phobias:</strong> If there were any, do you really think you would know?<br/><br/><strong>Personality/Motivations:</strong> The Director is a woman who clearly has ambition and ability far beyond the norm. To have risen so high in her career at such a young age is exceptional, but to have accomplished so much as a woman is truly phenomenal. She sometimes jokes, in her wryly dry tone, that she has plenty of balls despite being a woman, she keeps them as trophies from the men who have crossed her. Her mastery of the Foundry is never in doubt, those that entertain such dangerous notions do not live long enough to regret them.<br/><br/>She presents a striking figure, physically and psychologically. Always composed and poised, she is the very avatar of stately elegance, her confidence and control utterly unassailable. She never wastes one iota of her fury, her wrath is a scalpel rather than a hammer, and she always gets her pound of flesh. Perhaps she is a metahuman, certainly not a single Foundry operative could truthfully claim to have seen any evidence that she sleeps or eats, she seems to subsist on green tea and crossword puzzles.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> The Director has held her current post for the last seven years. There are rumours that she spent the years preceding her time with the Foundry working with, for and against such illustrious and infamous organisations as the Mossad, SVR, CIA, NSA and MI6, with hints at having worked as an arms dealer and assassin, both for profit and as part of intelligence activities<br/><br/><strong>Resources:</strong><br/><em>The Foundry:</em> The Director is the ultimate authority and autonomy within the Foundry. It is unknown if she answers to anyone, but there is certainly no apparent oversight. Within the organisation, her word is the Word.<br/><br/><em>Contacts:</em> The Director has old friends and enemies in many organisations and governments around the world. One might never know just where she has people who owe her a debt, from Tuareg gun runners to United States Senators.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Dr O'Rourke - The Man Who Plays God</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br/><div align="center">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/thumb/f/fb/Tumblr_mn889nVhds1rtiyedo1_500.jpg/447px-Tumblr_mn889nVhds1rtiyedo1_500.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong> Doctor Malachi O'Rourke<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong> 43<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong><br/>     <em>Height:</em> 5' 11"<br/>     <em>Weight:</em> 175 lbs<br/>     <em>Hair:</em> Brown<br/>    <em>Eyes:</em> Brown<br/>   <br/><strong>Occupation:</strong> Head Scientist<br/><br/><strong>Specialties:</strong><br/><em>Polymath:</em> Dr. O'Rourke holds specialist knowledge in a wide range of disciplines, sciences and arts alike. He applies his brilliant mind with rigorous discipline and outright fervor. He is highly qualified in those scientific fields that apply to his particular vocation, as well as many others, as a physician and a surgeon. He is a musical virtuoso, plays several instruments and readily composes and improvises. He sketches, paints and sculpts to a rather high degree of skill. He speaks numerous languages fluently, and can hobble on in quite a few more. There's a seemingly boundless vault of trivia and an eclectic gathering of knowledge in his head.<br/><br/><em>Driven:</em> When he gets his mind fixed on something, Dr. O'Rourke will throw himself wholeheartedly into the task at hand. This drive can lead to outright obsessive behaviour, but it's only by channelling his energy and intellect through such focus that he comes to so many of his breakthroughs. He can become extremely difficult to put off track when he gets this way, often willing to go against any resistance out of sheer spite.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses/Phobias:</strong><br/><em>Self Medication:</em> There's no one but himself that he trusts to look after his health, and so he often writes his own prescriptions. Unfortunately, he's found that the only cure for brooding melancholy is the regular application of something or other to keep his mind focused. He can be rather cranky when he's stressed and has nothing to take the edge off.<br/><br/><em>Impulsiveness:</em> Though he can often seem to cold, meticulous and analytical, he does have times when his emotions get the better of him and he'll act on a whim. Even then he is almost always fully aware of the consequences, simply choosing to take them as they come.<br/><br/><em>Misanthropy:</em> Malachi is bitterly cynical when it comes to humanity in general, he knows all about the banality of evil and can't bring himself to forget the injustices all around the world and the atrocities lurking in history. He doesn't trust people, for the most part, and never relies too much on the kindness of strangers.<br/><br/><strong>Personality/Motivations:</strong> A remarkable man, were he to have pursued a slightly different path in life Malachi would doubtlessly be famous or infamous, rather than one scarcely regarded at all within the scientific community, let alone the world. He's behind some of the most groundbreaking work in history, but all under the cover of great secrecy. Yet he's the sort of man who is quite happy to know that he was accomplished such things. Fame, wealth, respect, power, those never have been on Mal's list of ambitions, he's a scholar at heart, a lover of knowledge and all too greedy for new secrets.<br/><br/>He's deep as a drawwell, though, and one can never be sure just what's going on behind his head. It's not even worth paying too much heed to a lot of what he says, he is one of those people who can talk for ages without ever saying anything of great importance, he can give sound advice if one is willing to put up with his snarkiness. There are some people he cares quite deeply about, such as his Prototypes, but even then his exact intepretation of certain feelings can be a bit odd.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Malachi was born into a working class family on Dublin's northside, the youngest of four boys and two girls. Although born to rather bright people, who might have done quite a bit better in life if they'd had a chance at education, he proved himself to be exceptional even from a young age, although he seemed quite happy to plod along at his own pace. Though he was an examplary student, he was and has remained an autodydact, too hungry for knowledge to be able to suffice on the meagre slops offered by school. By the time he accepted a scholarship position to study in England, he already knew that he wished to be one of the great scientific minds of his age, and had ideas on how to get there.<br/><br/>Somewhere between entering college and his graduation six years later, Malachi became involved with the Foundry, and it was not long after his exit from academia that he began working for them in earnest. The Foundry offered Mal what he craved most from life, challenges and resources to match his brilliant mind, and, as he struggled with the same problems that had faced scientists for decades, he had to actually struggle for the first time in his life. Yet the intense pressure brought out the best in him, and he became father to the first generation of humanity's replacements, the Prototypes. Most of the Foundry's advances were designed by him or under his direction, and nearly all of those that remain incorporate his work in some way. He is viewed by many to be the éminence grise of the Foundry, the one who whispers into the Director's ear.<br/><br/><strong>Resources:</strong> Foundry Research and Development<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong><br/>Multi-Tool<br/>Pen Knife<br/>Medicine</div></div></div>
