RESISTANCE PERSONNEL

This information was hacked out of WEC computer systems. It is a good insight to the background and history of some of the members of the Resistance. It is expected that this information remain confidential. Exercise all due caution.

Maxis, Quentin
Citizen # 4R-3G9-8773-XXX
Age 57
Height 178 cm
Weight 88 kg
Brown hair, brown eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, conspiracy, murder, terrorism, political agitation and related charges.

HISTORY: An Honors graduate of the MilOps Cartel Military Academy and Strategic College, Quentin Maxis attained the rank of Colonel in the WEC infantry by age 30. In November of 2181, while assigned as an instructor at the Academy, he abruptly dropped out of sight. Sixteen months later, in March of 2183, he emerged as the leader of a resurgent Resistance military force. Since then he has continued to lead the rebel military from hiding, occasionally acting as a spokesperson for the Resistance in pre-recorded messages to the WEC senate. As the most visible symbol of the Resistance, he has been Security Cartel’s Public Enemy #1 since June of 2184. If Maxis can be taken alive, his knowledge would certainly provide a near-fatal blow to the Resistance effort.

PROFILE: Maxis is a brilliant strategist, skilled propagandist, and inspiring leader. He is absolutely sincere in his Democratic ideals, and appears devoid of personal political ambition. He has a deep-seated loathing for violence against civilians, but so far has proven completely intractable in the face of threats or retaliation against hostages or citizens.

STATUS: Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous, and probably travels only in the presence of several armed and dangerous companions.

Ely, Stephon
Citizen # 9A-8T99-5613-XXX
Age 40
Height 190 cm
Weight 95 kg
Black hair black eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, conspiracy, murder, terrorism, arson, kidnapping, desertion and related charges.

HISTORY: Stephon Ely gained an ROTC military commission and enlisted for active duty immediately after college. He served in a Special Forces mechanized infantry battalion, first as a platoon leader, then as a staff officer. Other than the fact of qualifying for Special Forces duty itself, his career was undistinguished. In 2189, then-Captain Ely’s chances for further advancement were shattered when he was reprimanded for questioning his C.O.’s orders during routine riot-control operation. Six months later he left on a two-week leave and never returned. Ely’s history since his disappearance is fragmentary, but he is known to have joined the Resistance, where he attained the post of unit commander and the rank of Major.

PROFILE: Although the record of Ely’s criminal activity is fragmentary, circumstantial evidence suggests he has developed a previously unsuspected aptitude for commando operations in the Resistance. The very fact of his obscurity testifies to his efficiency as a guerrilla. Ely is a solitary, unassuming individual on the surface. It is unknown to what extent his decision to rebel was based on genuine political conviction, and to what extent it was due to thwarted ambition.

STATUS: Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.

Vargas, Jo Anne
Citizen # 4V-9G31-4556-XXX
Age 32
Height 173 cm
Weight 56 kg
Dark brown hair, hazel eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, conspiracy, political agitation.

HISTORY: Jo Anne Vargas was at one time one of the Communications Cartel’s most promising young public relations specialists. She has undergraduate degrees in literature and art, masters degrees in communications and marketing, and a Ph.D. in socio-economics. In 2192 she resigned her executive position in the cartel and announced she was taking an unpaid leave of absence of unspecified duration. A few days later she dropped out of sight entirely. She is believed to have joined the Resistance and is probably on the personal staff of Quentin Maxis (q.v.). Psycho-textual analysts report a high probability that Vargas was the author or co-author of several important recent Resistance manifestos and announcements.

PROFILE: Vargas is an extremely proficient communicator and motivator. She is highly goal-oriented and hates to lose. Extremely focused, her personal commitment to any task she undertakes is outstanding. Although lacking formal military training, she is certainly capable of physical violence if she believes it’s necessary to achieve her goals.

STATUS: Suspect may be armed.

Brooks, Shannon
Citizen # 2N-9U3-2214-DXX
Age 28
Height 168 cm
Weight 54 kg
Brown hair, hazel eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, murder, terrorism, arson, assault, kidnapping, grand larceny.

HISTORY: Shannon Brooks is a second-generation rebel. Her parents joined the Resistance shortly after her birth, in the wake of the ‘60s food crisis. They were killed during the Petra Insurrection of ‘92. Both were members of the central committee of Petra’s "provisional government" at the time of their deaths. When Quentin Maxis (q.v.) revitalized the military arm of the Resistance in the early ‘80s, Brooks rapidly emerged as an extremely active and efficient terrorist operative. She is known to have been involved in the sabotaging of the supertanker Cordelia in ‘84, and to have led the force that destroyed the Osaka chemical plant in ‘92.

PROFILE: Although Brooks was never submitted for formal psychological profiling, second-hand evidence suggests that she is a classic fanatic, with a passionate and personal hatred for the WEC and all its agents. She probably feels morally superior to her comrades who are Consortium defectors, and she may exhibit symptoms of paranoia. Although she never entered the WEC school system, her record shows that she is highly intelligent, and she is very likely to have received an excellent, if unofficial, education at the hands of the Resistance.

STATUS: Suspect should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

TERMINATE WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE.

Reaves, Troy
Citizen # 7B-8Y21-5489-XXX
Age 26
Height 180 cm
Weight 80 kg
Brown hair, blue eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, data terrorism, unauthorized access to secured nets, fraud, extortion, grand larceny.

HISTORY: Troy Reaves has been a computer hacker for his entire life, spending his adolescence at the Dormitory for Incorrigible Youth at the Information Cartel Technical Institute. Although his technical aptitude was prodigious, all attempts to turn his skills to more responsible channels failed. In the end he was discharged from the Information Cartel and assigned to Maintenance Cartel as a sanitation worker. He vanished from Maintenance Cartel training after less than a week and is believed to have joined the Resistance. His precise activities are unknown.

PROFILE: Reaves is an obsessive/compulsive with a fascination for computers. There’s a strong likelihood that he is continuing personal, "recreational" hacking in addition to his Resistance assignments.

STATUS: Upon apprehension, suspect should be kept completely isolated from all access to data terminals or electronic equipment of any kind.

Cardova, Nicholas
Citizen # 6Y-5B52-4589-XXX
Age 32
Height 173 cm
Weight 90 kg
Brown hair, brown eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, terrorism, assault, kidnapping, political agitation.

HISTORY: A life-long malcontent, Nicholas Cardova displayed radical tendencies as far back as grammar school. His college career (majoring in political science) was interrupted his sophomore year by a three-year sentence for disseminating anti-Consortium propaganda. Immediately after his release he was apparently recruited by the Resistance and went underground, where he has remained for most of the last decade. He has been photographed participating in one terrorist attack and reliably reported at several others.

PROFILE: Cardova has a truculent disposition, poor impulse control and a violent temper. His chronic aversion to authority of any kind may make him as much a liability to his allies as he is to the Consortium.

STATUS: Suspect should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

Andrews, Derrick
Citizen # 46-9L22-1677-XXX
Age 38
Height 188 cm
Weight 84 kg
Brown hair, green eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, terrorism, espionage, assault.

HISTORY: Andrews worked as an associate accountant in the Revenue Assessment Division of the Administrative Cartel for almost a decade without incident, but he appears to have had some kind of moral crisis (possibly triggered by witnessing Consortium action to suppress the El Paso Tax Insurrection of ‘89), causing him to abandon his loyalty to the WEC. In 2192 he apparently went underground (perhaps after first spending some time as a Resistance subversive agent or informer in the RAD). He is believed to have been sighted participating in at least two terrorist operations in the last year, possibly under the command of Shannon Brooks (q.v.).

PROFILE: His former superiors characterize Andrews as a dedicated but solitary worker. His defection to the Resistance is probably based on genuine moral conviction. His background suggests that he is totally unprepared by training or experience for military action, and his self-sufficiency and flexibility profiles indicate the possibility of a breakdown under battlefield conditions.

STATUS: Subject should be considered armed and dangerous.

"Weasel" (real name unknown)
AKA: Alvin Tarkin, Leroy Cern, Alberto Devense, Sally Horrowitz, Lyle Lepardo, Antonio Zero
Citizen # UNKNOWN
Age Early 30s
Height 180 cm
Weight 72 kg
Brown/silver hair, blue eyes

WANTED FOR: Treason, terrorism, kidnapping, black-marketing, conspiracy, grand larceny, petty larceny, smuggling, hijacking, gun-running, arson, assault, blackmail, extortion, fraud, barratry, organ-legging, bootlegging, pandering, felonious misrepresentation, unauthorized impersonation of a citizen, impersonation of an officer, maintaining a bawdy house, tax evasion, unlicensed ownership of a firearm, exploitation of a minor, failure to register identity.

HISTORY: The individual known as Weasel appears to have never been registered as a citizen of the WEC, based on retina-scans obtained from video images. Investigators theorize that he may have been raised in a refusenik encampment by individuals opposed to universal registration for political or religious reasons. His given name is unknown — none of his known aliases match the names of any known refuseniks. What is known is that about 2193 he emerged as the most successful black marketeer in his region. He is known to have extensive dealings with the Resistance as a supplier.

PROFILE: Weasel seems to be almost completely amoral, with the sole exception (probably profit-motivated) of having never betrayed a client or professional confidence. He is a felon of truly staggering proficiency, able to mastermind high-stakes schemes in numerous fields of criminal endeavor simultaneously. His instinct for self-preservation is uncanny, and though he has never been known to personally kill anyone, he does not hesitate to resort to violence to avoid apprehension.

STATUS: Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.

The current Resistance unit on Luna is a small but effective force, and relies on civilain operators to co-ordinate the Resistance movement. There is also a small guerrila team stationed at the Darkside Base on the moon. The following is a Resistance bulletin providing information on Resistance personnel currently stationed there.

Denning, Allen (civilian op)
Citizen # 4F-16DT-2729-EXX
Age 36
Height 172 cm
Weight 82 kg
Brown hair, brown eyes

Denning was an 18-year-old high school student in Sydney when he and four school friends were caught vandalizing a food processing plant. The five were convicted of willfully causing 40,000 cr damage to the facility. The other boys, all being under 18, were sentenced to local work/detention facilities, but Denning was sentenced on 79.2.2 to 5 years hard labor. In 81 he killed a fellow prisoner. According to Denning’s own account, the prisoner believed, incorrectly, that Denning had informed on him for smuggling narcotics into prison. The prisoner attacked Denning and was killed in the ensuing struggle. Denning’s sentence was extended for 10 years. In 91.4 he was transferred to Luna.

Upon completion of his term, he was offered training as a shuttle pilot by an LMC administrator who had befriended him during his sentence. He accepted, knowing that as a former convict he was unlikely to find an equivalent job on Earth. Denning’s patron was a Resistance sympathizer, and he introduced Denning to the movement.

In 95.5 he was diagnosed with untreatable leukemia linked to Di-Cor poisoning. At the time doctors gave him no more than six months to live. He has requested that he be allowed to continue Resistance operations as long as he remains physically able.

His position as a shuttle pilot makes him one of the Lunar Resistance’s most trusted operatives for smuggling and courier operations.

Shepherd, Matt (LtC)
Age 36
Height 183 cm
Weight 82 kg
Brown hair, brown eyes

Shepherd served 15 years as a Security Cartel officer, holding several site chief and subchief assignments across the globe. He was assigned to Luna in 93.4 as Deputy Security Chief (Mines), in charge of supervising the physical security of the mining operation itself. His disenchantment with the WEC and SecCart began with misgivings over the treatment of WEC convicts in the mines. In screening interviews he has stated that, in addition to reservations over the general inhumanity of the mining operations, he was particularly aware of the fact that nonviolent political dissidents were often more harshly treated by their captors than violent criminals and social deviants.

He first made contact with the Resistance in 93.11, desiring to leak information on human rights abuses and obtain covert humanitarian relief for members of the mine gangs. Over the course of the next 16 months he steadily increased his Resistance involvement to encompass general intelligence gathering, smuggling (material and personnel) and occasional sabotage. He became the Resistance’s highest-level operative in the LMC hierarchy. In 95.6 Shepherd and central command came to a joint decision that further double-agent operations might jeopardize Shepherd’s safety and Resistance security. Shepherd returned to Earth for a seven-week furlough, during which time he received further Resistance training and indoctrination. After his return to Luna, on 95.7.25, Shepherd’s “death” in a prospecting hovershuttle crash was successfully staged.

After the “accident,’ Shepherd was smuggled back to Darkside station, where he became the Resistance’s first full-time underground guerrilla officer on Luna, with a Resistance rank of Major (promoted 96.4). He now serves as commander for all lunar military operations. Shepherd is an experienced and competent commander and administrator. In his months in charge of Lunar operations he has been responsible for major improvements in recruitment and training, and has materially assisted intelligence in enhancing the efficiency of their operations.

Note: Although Shepherd is still officially regarded as deceased on public records, it is by now a virtual certainty that WEC counterintelligence on Luna knows or strongly suspects that he is alive and operating on behalf of the Resistance. As long as his location remains secret and operational security remains intact, this is considered an acceptable level of risk.

Leibnitz, Marian “Torch” (civilian op)
Citizen # 9G-26TF-3732-AXX
Age 30
Height 193 cm
Weight 132 kg
Hair black, Eyes brown

“Torch” Leibnitz (he expresses an extreme distaste towards being addressed by anything other than his nickname) grew up in the slums of the Houston metroplex, and made a name for himself within the local youth gangs by showing a remarkable affinity for explosives, even as a small child.

Torch was arrested for the first time in 78.2, at age 11, on charges of arson and looting during the Houston riots of that year. He was incarcerated at the high-security Dormitory for Violent Youth near New Orleans. He escaped three years later, and fell in with the Resistance in 81.10.

For the next 12 years, Torch distinguished himself as one of the movement’s most proficient explosives and demolitions experts. However, he fell into Security Cartel hands during a sabotage operation in London in 94.8. Sentenced to conscription for life on Luna, he did not stop his Resistance activities, but soon joined up with the other Resistance sympathizers among the conscript population. His specialized skills have allowed him to earn a position of responsibility and relative trust in the mines, which grants him a certain degree of freedom for Resistance activities.

His demolitions experience made him a natural saboteur for the Resistance. However, the loss of an arm in 95.6, due to a Di-Cor contaminated injury, caused him to largely forgo actual commando operations in favor of mission planning and coordination.

Torch is one of the Resistance’s most effective undercover ops within the conscript population. His special skills make him one of the most dangerous guerrilla operatives on Luna.
