[hkdavenport]

((These records are accessible by anyone who can view Illuminati files. I may add more details eventually. We'll see how this works out first. xD))

AGENT ASSESSMENT – 05/28/2013
NAME: HENRY KENNETH DAVENPORT
KNOWN ALIASES: 47, H.K., XIAOGOU
AGE: 37

-PHYSICAL EVALUATION-

Mr. Davenport presents with no obvious health issues in spite of his heavy drinking and heavy smoking. Prior to placing subject in high-risk detoxification program, he also admitted to casual drug use. Subject’s height is above-average when compared to other men in his age demographic. Since his last examination, subject has gained a considerable amount of weight and is now much healthier looking; still lean, but added muscle will help to increase his effectiveness in the field.

He admits to still experiencing nightmares. Will defer judgment and opinion on treatment options to Dr. Cartwright when he conducts his psych. eval. Subject also continues to be extremely filthy; utter lack of hygiene is disturbing to say the least. Cameras and examination of his living space indicate that IT is clean…But he also doesn’t stay there very often. Will attempt to convince subject to shower more than once every week. Subject’s body is also canvassed with scars, indicating severe damage to nerves. Conducted several tests to examine pain tolerance and the results are interesting. Subject did not respond to pinching, did not respond to hitting, but did respond to being given an injection. Conclusion: Patient has an incredibly high tolerance for “surface damage”, but will react violently to anything that penetrates.

Subject is physically cleared to continue assignment.

-COMBAT EVALUATION-

NOTE: Please order more training holograms.
NOTE: And PLEASE send my apologies to the intern.

Subject is one of the “bee-blessed” and therefore should exhibit the standard range of powers attributable to those who are charged by Anima. However, subject differs in that his ability to expand his repertoire of abilities is GREATLY reduced; non-existent even. Subject is designated as a Chaos Magus and, at a glance, shows the tell-tale signs of a fairly experienced one.

For the purposes of filling out the subject’s profile:

Chaos Magick is magick that utilizes unseen and unpredictable energy currents. These currents flow around us at all times and Chaos Magi can manipulate them, much like the way an Elementalist may manipulate an electrical field. It can be assumed that Chaos is one of the underlying elements of our reality. A Chaos Magus will twist that reality to create illusions so powerful that they can actually rend flesh and snap bone. They may grow powerful or skilled enough to bend the fabric of reality so that it binds their opponents or enhances their own physical capabilities. These energy currents are incredibly difficult to wield and can only be manipulated when a Chaos Magus enters a state referred to as “Gnosis.” Gnosis is, at its simplest, a clear and open mind; it can be achieved through the following methods: Excitatory Gnosis is brought on through hyperventilation, over-exertion, extreme emotions, and sexual pleasure. Inhibitory Gnosis is obtained through careful focus and control of one’s body. With this definition of Chaos in mind, we can begin to identify the strange case of this particular subject. The subject has managed to attain a perpetual Gnostic State. He doesn’t just work himself into frenzy and bring about the capability to see and change the flow of the aforementioned energy currents; he sees them constantly. We have seen this several times in the past, but his is a particular case in that the conjuration of such energy on our physical plane has taken a form of “sentience.”

My hypothesis, to be confirmed following Dr. Cartwright’s Psychological Evaluation: The energy is not sentient, but is actually a physical manifestation of subject’s overwhelmed emotional state; used as a coping mechanism for the tumultuous experiences he’s had.

FIRST TEST – Attached electrodes to subject and monitored his strikes on the dummy. First, second, and third dummies will require replacement as they were not tuned properly for his output. Energy output is above-average compared to contemporaries. Subject, however, is below-average in terms of speed. Subject displays no knowledge of martial arts or training; interesting considering that he belonged to the now defunct Oculi Omniscentia group. He is clumsy and displays no real grace or style. In short, subject is a violent, angry brute.


SECOND TEST – Subject was tested for his reaction time. It is below-average when compared to that of his contemporaries. It is clear, from the scarring, that he takes the brunt of the damage when paired with others. As Dr. Galt noted in her Physical Evaluation, subject does not appear to suffer much pain when the blow does not actually pierce his body. Dr. Galt noted that repeated attempts at causing damage appeared to make subject’s resilience increase. I made an attempt to test this by asking that the subject begin attacking the dummy once again. I had one of my interns shoot the subject in the back. The first shot caused significant damage and bleeding, but the bullet was pushed out by the manifestation of subject’s Chaos energy. The second, third, and fourth shot all pierced the skin as well, although at a decreasing depth. Each bullet was pushed out by an increasingly agitated manifestation. The fifth shot bruised subject and the sixth caused no damage whatsoever. The sixth shot, however, did push the manifestation over the edge and it lashed out at the intern on its own. Intern is currently comatose; I would ask that you prepare a compensation package for my loss.

THIRD TEST – Pit subject against a peer of his own experience using the data acquired from the first and second tests as well as data obtained from Dr. Galt’s Physical Evaluation. Subject is skilled in the avenue of manipulating his Chaos and shows an advanced understanding well-beyond what he should be displaying. Subject’s talent areas are as follows: Resilience, Power, Magical Skill, and Tenacity. Subject’s problem areas are as follows: Speed, Avoidance, Combat Training, Strategy, and Tenacity. Subject’s tenacity is both a boon and an incredible nuisance; he simply does not know WHEN to quit. His peer ended up putting him down, but it was with considerable effort. It is my recommendation that the subject be paired up with someone who compliments his boundless rage and barely controlled powers; preferably someone who can repair the damage he does to himself.

Subject is cleared for continued assignment.

-PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION-

As dictated by Dr. Cartwright:

Previously, Henry has shown an aversion to discussing his sordid history with Oculi Omniscentia. As you are aware, Oculi Omniscentia is a now defunct branch of the Illuminati. Their membership disappeared, leaving only three known agents confirmed to be alive. Mr. Davenport is one of those agents. While he is now gainfully employed under the Security branch of AEgir Communications, he has failed to fully integrate.

Henry has been exhausted by both the Physical and Combat Evaluations he’s faced prior to this and is a little more open about the secretive nature of his former employer. There are things that even WE did not fully grasp about what Mr. Preston was doing. He speaks mostly of Peiwen Ren and did dictate the positively quaint way in which he obtained his powers; the story of the “toilet bee” that sometimes gets thrown about at the water-cooler on slow days. Under the circumstances, the story may be an important factor in why Mr. Davenport cannot express his Anima in any way other than through Chaos. Not only was the bee ingested during a tumultuous time of change in Henry’s life, it was first spat into a toilet, then drowned in liquor.

In his exhaustion, Mr. Davenport displays a fairly manic range of emotions. In the more exciting outbursts, his Chaos manifests itself as a wild and zig-zagging green smoke. My previous diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder stands and his behavior is all but proof of my previous assertions that the stress of his work, the stress of his previous life, the stress of Adam Preston’s mind games, and the experience of losing everyone in Oculi Omniscentia has contributed to chronic issues with PTSD and Manic Depression. Under normal circumstances, I would prescribe the appropriate medication to take care of these issues or assign Henry to therapy; possibly even another round of detoxification.

There is little doubt in my mind that Mr. Davenport is a ticking time bomb; one step from the edge of a nervous breakdown. He has already proven this theory once during the Transylvania incident. However, customary methods of rehabilitation will not suffice. He displays an incredible tolerance to psychotropic drugs, first and foremost. Henry is, also, too useful as he is on the field and, after consulting with Dr. Galt and Dr. Lu, we have determined that the best course of action is to allow Mr. Davenport to continue on as is. He is coping in his own way and that way is profitable for us in the long run.

Subject is psychologically cleared for continued assignment.
