*Newly-installed I.O. chief Ben Santini was given the job after former head John Lynch abandonded the agency. Although Santini is a seasoned combat veteran with years of experience in I.O., some of his subordinates question his ability to lead effectively.

He hates Marlowe but must nevertheless work with the WildC.A.T.s founder on occasion. *Source: Back of card
