Subject Name: Saren Kephra Codename: “Black Echo” Status: Active Field Agent Assigned Cell: Omicron Command (VEIL-7 Tier)
Background Summary:
Born: Planet New Berlin, 783 A.S. Former Affiliation: Rheinland Navy, Department of Signals and Cryptography Discharged/MIA: 806 A.S., Operation "Silver Line", Frankfurt system Re-emerged: 809 A.S., The Order, via Omicron Mu
Saren Kephra served in the Rheinland Navy as a signals officer during the early stages of what would later be known as the Nomad War. Official records note that he participated in deep signal analysis and anomalous frequency tracking in the Frankfurt and Munich systems, focusing on unexplained sensor ghosts and AI interference around Sigma space.
However, during Operation "Silver Line" — a covert reconnaissance sweep near the Frankfurt-Sigma 15 corridor — Kephra’s vessel went dark. No distress call was made. All crew were declared KIA or MIA. The wreckage was never recovered. Rheinland Intelligence closed the case with no further inquiry.
Three years later, Saren Kephra reappeared in The Order’s custody — recovered near a Nomad ruin site deep in Omicron Kappa. His body bore no physical damage, but his neural scans revealed fragmented psionic patterns and traces of non-human memory imprints. He refused debriefing, requesting direct audience with Omicron Command.
Though most of his memories from the missing years remain classified or lost, Kephra displayed critical insight into Nomad signal language, deep-space interference protocols, and “organic routing structures” unknown to standard science. The Order gave him a choice: be quarantined as a potential threat — or weaponize what was left of him.
He chose the latter.
Since induction, Agent Kephra has led or participated in over 60 black ops missions, including artifact recovery in Nomad space, eradication of infiltrator cells in House space, and counter-sabotage within Freeport networks. He is known for his surgical, silent approach, and rarely seen outside of hostile space.
Psychological Notes:
Subject exhibits blunted emotional response, likely due to psionic trauma. Shows no allegiance to his Rheinland past. Appears to operate under a personal vendetta toward Nomad-aligned structures, though motive remains ambiguous.
Kephra maintains limited communication with other agents, but has been seen establishing unofficial ties with trusted Hessian elements — possibly due to shared history or mutual distrust of House militaries.
Recommendation:
Maintain field autonomy.
Monitor neural stability.
Do not restrict movement unless psionic spike exceeds RED-3 threshold.
Subject is more effective in the field than under surveillance.
