Name/Pseudonym: Alias - Thomas Elias Sinclair; Codename - 'Patch'; Real Name -
[REDACTED]Gender: Male
Age: Late 20s; DOB -
[REDACTED]Appearance: At 5'7" with a medium height, medium build and an entirely undistinguished appearance Patch is almost the perfect undercover agent, one who blends into the crowd without being noticed or standing out in any way.
Agency: Formerly British Secret Intelligence Service (Military Intelligence, Section 6), currently disavowed due to 'ungentlemanly conduct'
Back"story": Tom is a talented sound technician who has been slowly touring the world, going wherever work takes him. During his career he's gigged as a DJ in the US, helped set-up telephone lines in the Middle East and assisted in disaster relief operations across Africa. Never staying in any one place too long Tom has been known to quit his job at a moment's notice whenever wanderlust strikes him.
Background check info:Tom currently holds a valid UK passport as well as a driving license and NI number. He has three bank accounts in the UK, one of which appears to act as holdings for his self-employed work, another a long-term savings account and the third shows standard living expenses transactions dating back the last seven years matching his recorded international employment locations. Tom holds a criminal record in the US for aggravated assault after getting involved in a bar fight in Marrero, Louisiana May 2009 when a local man accused Tom of getting his teenaged daughter pregnant. Although Tom failed to appear at his arraignment, he subsequently made a sizable cash payment to the plaintiff causing all charges to be dropped.
Thorough background check info:
The girl in question later gave birth to a baby girl and received annual payments each year from an untraceable offshore bank account up until 2011. The payments ended shortly after her father died in a car accident, losing control of his vehicle while driving home from the local bar. As his death was judged to have been caused by his own actions the man's life insurance company refused pay-out, leaving his family in financial difficulties. In order to support her child the girl moved to Westbank, New Orleans and currently supplements her income working as an 'escort', advertising her services online using the name 'Ms Marrero'. There's no record of Tom having made any contact with the girl since 2009 and he seems uninterested in the current welfare of his alleged daughter.
Past: Growing up Patch was always a fan of James Bond films, but while most of his friends marvelled at the gunplay and the over-the-top escapes performed by the hero Patch was drawn to the gadgets. Soon he was building devices of his own, trying to recreate the gizmos he'd seen in the films, with very limited success. Early prototypes of his 'spy-ware' quickly got him noticed by staff at his school, most of whom took a not so favourable view of the tunnelling cameras he used to make himself popular with the other teenaged boys, but one teacher in particular took special notice of the young boy's talents.
A retired Naval officer, Mr Jameson referred his student to an old friend, who knew exactly how best to make use of burgeoning talent. After receiving a visit from a specialist and having signed the Official Secrets Act multiple times Patch found himself transferred to London and given his own lab to help develop new technological marvels to help Bond's real world compatriots.
Spending several years behind the soldering iron, Tom grew bored of tinkering and put in for a transfer to a front-line unit where he could experience a little more of the action he'd seen on the silver screen in his childhood. At first his superiors refused Tom's requests, fearing to lose their technical magician to enemy action in he were sent into the field, but as more and jmore of his gadgets began to 'malfunction' during operations, placing agents' lives in danger, his request was finally accepted.
Active assignments awaited Patch, but these soon began to bore him as much as lab work. His skill set set him more as a supporting agent in the field, backing up his colleagues with technical assistance and surveillance cover despite his ability to infiltrate and sabotage enemy positions and soon Patch began to feel the need to stretch his influence beyond his superiors' gaze. Making connections with underground agents around the world Patch began to sell his services to all-comers, provided they granted him the challenge and adventure he yearned for. When word of his activities leaked back to his superiors they took no more delight in his misdemeanors than his schoolteachers had done.
Luckily Patch's skill with communications and surveillance allowed him to easy be aware when the kill order came, and leaving several gifts behind he disappeared into the underworld which had welcomed him so eagerly. Now he operates as a mercenary-for-hire, taking jobs which test his skills and abilities with no consideration for their ethical or moral merits.
