S.C.A.R.E. - Personnel and Data Log Entry #GAT428, Contracted Agent "Hat"

Birth Name is REDACTED, or code name "Hat."

"Hat" is REDACTED years old, and appears to be in mid 60.

(See First Photo in File) "Hat" has short, grey hair. He's relatively old and it shows on his face. He is almost always wearing a scally cap. While "Hat's" father is REDACTED and his mother is REDACTED, he himself is from the United States of America.




(If Second Photo in file titled "Unknown" depicts more than an assault rifle, please report to nearest quarantine and request testing for Miasma infection.)

"Hat" is shown to be a calm and cheerful individual in the outside as he's able to make people feel calm in his presence. However, beneath this facade is a sinister persona of his - he is merciless when it comes to killing others and he often finds it fun to cause destruction and kill people (whether they're innocent or not).

He's also cautious, logical, and calculating as he's able to devise strategies that gave his desired outcome, often times outsmarting his opponents as demonstrated when he enacted in his plan to take out REDACTED and successfully defeated the REDACTED that was assigned to take him out despite them outnumbering him.

"Hat" was formerly contracted as an external mercenary for S.C.A.R.E., and often REDACTED escapees infected with the Miasma Virus. However, He retired on REDACTED.

As a child, REDACTED was seen ruthlessly killing numerous animals in cold blood for entertainment in a barn, much to his father's fear. While his father scolded REDACTED and loved him deeply, REDACTED himself seemed indifferent and incapable of understanding his Father's emotions.

REDACTED was part of the United States Marine Corps in the past. Nicknamed "Poker-face," he began his 8-week recruit training in REDACTED by faking his age to join the corps. After the first 2 weeks, he left because of a supposed serious illness. This was, however, a cover, as he was actually recruited to be part of an ultra-elite section of the military known only as REDACTED while fighting in REDACTED.

In REDACTED, after the end of the war, "Hat" and REDACTED are assigned to a secret recovery mission in REDACTED. With "Hat" in the lead, the group had managed to perfectly execute the mission in 2 days without firing a single shot, but just as REDACTED was to return to the extraction point, "the devil woke up," as REDACTED fired a shot, catching the attention of hundreds of enemies, forcing the men into a battle, resulting in one member dead, one heavily injured, and "Hat" himself without a leg. After his return, he was dishonorably discharged.

Code-name "Hat" is infected, and should be considered highly dangerous.

Known abilities attributed to his Infection are
A: Physical Regeneration; "Hat" was originally detained after the "miraculous" regeneration of left leg. After extensive testing, Blackthorne has determined that "Hat" can regenerate ever part of his body, including his head. However, when detached, the part of his body with the most significant mass will regenerate, while the others will decompose in a manner similar to most organic matter. (Regeneration appears to be nearly instant, although the process does not begin until 10-15 seconds after removal.)

B. IIE Manifestation; "Hat" is capable of materializing, controlling, seeing/hearing/speaking through, and fighting with a semi-invisible entity (Named IIE) that has been described by infected individuals to appear as a REDACTED. The IIE seems to exist as a second manifestation of Hat, as well as a shell to be controlled by Hat.

B-1. IIE Physical Testing Results; The IIE carries the Miasma Virus, has been observed to travel up to 35 mph, can exert ~1,500 pounds of force behind a punch, and ~3,200 pounds of force behind a kick. The IIE has been observed to be capable of bench-pressing upwards of ~1,200 lbs, Squatting upwards of ~1,600 lbs, and Dead lifting upwards of ~6,500 lbs.

B-2. IIE Misc Testing Results; The IIE is visible only to those infected by the Miasma Virus. IIE has been recorded using firearms and other forms of weaponry with the same efficiency recorded by "Hat." IIE has been recorded travelling a maximum of half of a mile from Hat, although Hat began to display physical signs of discomfort in the form of; bloody nose, coughing blood, and bleeding from eyes/ears. IIE has also been recorded functioning normally regardless of Hat's influence, as IIE continued with testing during a period in which Hat was incapacitated.
