BACKGROUND:

Acquired by Thaddeus II August 1923.

RECORD:

[REDACTED] confirmed kills. [REDACTED] unconfirmed. Recorded kills triple that of the entire unit.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION:

SF frequently deemed insubordinate and requiring intensive corrective measures by his superiors. “Good behavior” was deemed to be successful kills and heavily rewarded.

PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT:

SF shows marked maladaptive behaviors and resentment toward the world.

His experiences as the first of Thaddeus II’s acquisitions and preferred member of the unit have predisposed him to view all authority figures with open suspicion and hostility.

Any attempts to perform cognitive behavioral therapy or mind healing have been met with outright violence.

Similar to other members of the unit, Sloane shows marked possessive behavior tied to extreme deprivation used as disciplinary action.

Showing preferences toward non-essentials is deemed an intolerable vulnerability that can be exploited to control him, and therefore require excessive protectiveness and hoarding behaviors.

This falls in line with the competitive atmosphere fostered by the unit’s trainers.

Interestingly, while SF claims to feel no loyalty or familial identity with his unit, he exhibits care behaviors and leadership. Other subjects often turn to him for approval and reassurance first. When questioned on this, SF chose not to respond.

After much observation, it is my opinion that SF differs from other subjects in one notable way.

While he does not express or seem to understand positive emotion or social boundaries, SF is sharply cognizant of morals.

He has retained an extremely rigid moral compass and appears to rely heavily on it for comfort.

He believes that protecting the innocent is the only reason he should be allowed to exist. It’s unclear whether it is this belief or simply his seniority that has marked him (and VK) as the leaders of the unit.

With enough time, I believe this moral compass can be used as a gateway to more social behaviors and integration.

However, it also puts SF at a high risk of disobedience and self-destructive tendencies.

SF is secretive, distrustful, has no emotional reaction to killing, and extremely intelligent.

Black and white thinking, as well as a complete refusal to compromise what he deems the correct course of action, can be wildly dangerous in this context.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

At this time, SF cannot be released into society and should be closely monitored at all times for signs that his moral compass still aligns with the wellbeing of himself, his unit, and the citizens of the EVP.

Intensive cognitive behavioral therapy encouraged but will not be entered into voluntarily. Highest level flight risk.

NOTES:

SF is, in my opinion, the single most dangerous member of the unit. It is my belief that anyone who undertakes his psychological care is putting themselves at grave personal risk. Should he go AWOL, it’s unlikely that he will give authorities any other choice than to terminate.
