[b]NAME:[/b] 
Special Agent John Tuttle

[b]AGE:[/b] 
40

[b]OCCUPATION[/b] 
Special Agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
	- Undercover Investigator 

[b]ROLE:[/b] 
Tuttle is considered one of the finest FBI investigators on the Southern seaboard. His current role is to quietly enter an area and build a lifestyle profile on the region and its major players. This is not an enforcement role at the moment, there are no search warrants or doors kicks here. His current assignment is to begin quietly identifying cartel links and agents in Mississippi. His position is a lonely and dangerous one as he operates solo with very little oversight. 

[b]PUBLIC GOALS:[/b] 
It is well known that Tuttle has little interest in "driving a desk". He has found a niche as an expert investigator and surveillance operator; a role he has embraced, relishing the skillset he has learned. 

[b]PRIVATE GOALS:[/b] 
Tuttle is five year from retirement and intends to move to Spain when the dust settles. A perpetual bachelor, he has a girlfriend in New York that he is considering proposing to.

[b]PERSONAL HISTORY:[/b] 
John Tuttle was born in Boston, attended high school, played sports, and generally had the ideal upbringing of any white middle class kid. He might never have left the city if his late teens hadn't been interrupted by the Korean War. Always one with a strong sense of right and wrong, he joined the US Military and ended up posted to a MASH unit where he served as an ambulance driver and medic.

When the war ended he returned to Boston where he joined the Boston Police Department, serving in a patrol capacity for seven years and distinguished himself in building relationships with marginalized communities. 

In 1960 he was drafted into a military police regiment and shipped to Vietnam. He initially served as an MP until 1962 when he was approached by a Colonel in the Combat Engineers who had noted Tuttles smaller physic and tenacious attitude. The Colonel did not want Tuttle to serve as an engineer, but rather to join the infamous Tunnel Rats; infantrymen from Australia and the United States who cleared and destroyed enemy tunnel complexes.

Two years of fighting and killing in the dark - literal life and death struggles thirty feet beneath the surface of the earth - would change any man and Tuttle was no different. When he rotated home after the war, he found that the close knit work of policing and wearing a uniform was no longer practical for him.

Tuttles patrol Captain, noting the change in his once tenacious young officer, quietly placed a call to a friend in the FBI. The FBI snapped Tuttle up and quickly introduced him to covert surveillance; a role that required many of the self-reliance skills he had come to depend on in the tunnels of Vietnam.

Tuttle proved to be highly skilled, building a reputation for hard work and adaptability. He was assigned to the New Orleans Office in 1970 to assist in building a portfolio on those involved in trying to move cocaine into the United States, primarily by boat or air.
