Modifiers: (None at the start.) | ____________________________________________________________________________ APPEARANCE
Arthur Cahill is a light-skinned blonde man with hazel eyes. Athletically built but on the slender side, he wears his hair in a short fade on the sides but with a long braid along the top, “viking” style. For facial hair, Arthur keeps a neat moustache in the pyramid style. Always quick to offer a bright smile, Arthur’s face is angular, with prominent cheekbones and a weak chin. His nose is small and pointed downward. A kind person would call his likeness sharp, a rude one might compare him to a rodent.
In everyday civilian life, Arthur prefers to dress for an active lifestyle. Oversized breathable shirts that can be easily discarded and practical spandex shorts under khakis are his typical outfit of choice. His only regular accoutrement across all occasions is a 1927 Falkenauge Montblanc wristwatch, a family heirloom that he has had since he turned eighteen.
Arthur has three tattoos. The first is located on his right breast, in black ink, and depicts a falcon in flight carrying a banner that reads “Libertatem Bello”. The second is a colour sleeve on his left arm featuring a forested lake scene and various animals from the Canadian Shield. (Arthur has named each animal.) Lastly, he has a tattoo that simply reads “Resilience” written in Courier font located on his right wrist, typically obscured by his wristwatch.
____________________________________________________________________________ PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Subject is prone to bouts of anti-social behaviour characterized by wilful isolation. When conducting assessments, the request for the tests to be completed independently was made, and when rejected, subject was visibly agitated. Subject operates at higher than average competency under psychological stressors. Particularly resilient where concerns the difficulties imposed by exposure to the elements and low social engagement. Projected resistance to battle stress-based traumas for the subject is quite high, though this result may be skewed by the subject’s lack of strong support network. (I.E. Self-sufficiency masking a low threshold for high-impact events.) Despite a poor score on social-emotional indexes, the subject displays remarkably sophisticated introspection and abstract conceptual abilities coupled with a pronounced desire to achieve perfection. These strengths likely account for the subject’s long record of impressive performance in competitive contexts.
Accessible records show the subject progressed through basic training with relatively scant issues. No prior incident reports re: service personnel conflicts, and subject had received two recommendations for elevation to CO prior to attachment to Minerva Force. Both recommendations, it should be noted, carried the following attached statement, co-signed by Col. Jean Mckenny.
“This ranger’s promotion subject to attachment with other high-proficiency units, barring any possibility of requiring that the above be held in command of any subordinates. I cannot stress this enough, that [REDACTED] might be the best shot in the corps but he won’t be responsible for anybody in my [REDACTED] Patrol Group.”
Other relevant factors at play are the subject’s relative youth, short service career, and poor socialization. These may aggravate any future operations where the subject is required to “play well” with others. This analyst’s recommendation is that the subject be placed strictly in roles where they will not be required to rely upon significant personnel support and consequently will not be expected to support any personnel in turn.

Transcript of Interview Audio Recording:
“These questions are all too boring. You want to know about Arthur Cahill? That’s ‘kaa-huhl,’ not ’cay-hill.’ Here’s what you need to know. I grew up in Ottawa, the national capital, at a way too expensive school. You know the kind, an ‘academy’ bearing the name of some founding father or the like. I wasn’t rich. I was just a lucky orphan. Canada’s always prized education, or at least, well, that’s all just politics. The point is I went to a stuffy school, full of self-important brown-nosing teachers and student who had too many silver spoons and not enough places to stick ‘em.
So growing up I had a pretty low opinion of most of the people I happened to spend time around. The sole exception? Well this fancy academy just so happened to moonlight as the national biathlon team’s training centre in the off-season. Lucky me, eh? I made actual friends there. The coach let me hang around, and even though most of the kids were years and years older, they were good about indulging my interest. That’s where I learned to shoot. The skiing was incidental. That was back when I was still a kid.”
[inaudible]
“I moved around a bit after that. Joined the Rangers. That’s just about all the [REDACTED] foster care people could tell me about my parents; that I’d been a military brat but my folks never came back. You’d think the records they kept would tell me more. Maybe it was all [REDACTED]. Either way, I stuck with it. Civvies were all grade-A [REDACTED] but in the Rangers, you knew where you stood. Good people. Lots of natives, but if you knew the first thing about them, you’d know that’s part of what makes the Rangers special. They were my first proper family. Gave me a name I could be proud of; Masher.”
[inaudible]
“None of your business, bud. I’m giving you what you need, not telling my whole [REDACTED] life story. How I got the name is between me and my fellow rangers. [long pause] Oh fine, I guess it is worth explaining, if only so you’ll quit badgering me. Masher comes from mashkiig, which is Ojibwe for muskeg. Anyway, beyond my time with the Rangers, I was also running up quite the collection of medals in biathlons. I think my connections in the National Team reached out at one point to see if I’d be willing to be on retainer for a run at the Olympics, but by the time I got around to checking my mail the window to respond had expired. I hung up the skis not long after that, at least for competitions. I was busy working, and then some stuff I’m not authorized to discuss with you happened, and now I’m here. So are you going to explain exactly what the [REDACTED] I saw in Afghanistan? That thing was-”
