Profile:
Ryan Lamont started life living near Carlisle, within the Northern Exclusion Zone as per the 2031 'National Directive 2117A-Exclusion Zones due to Radiological Contamination'.
It is believed he had intentions of military service, although this was prevented due to a diagnosis for Austistic Spectrum Disorder. As a result, he followed his original calling to become a scientist, specialising in fusion research technology and entering a career in the National Nuclear Laboratory soon after.
He was involved in what became known as 'The Northern Incident', an event which precipitated the Omnic Crisis.
Lamont was severely injured as a result of his efforts to prevent the meltdown of an experimental reactor, instigated by the sentient AI overseeing the complex, known as 'Curie' in reference to the nuclear Pioneer. Despite his efforts, the reactor detonated, irradiating a 50-mile area around it. Lamont and all other workers at the complex were presumed to have perished as a Neutron Burst ravaged the facility moments prior to the blast. Holy mother of God... This guy's tough all right
Regardless, Lamont was found, apparently alive and intact 3 days later on a beach near Liverpool, and was immediately placed into Secure Treatment at the Advanced Medical Centre in London. His atoms showed symptoms of a condition unknown at the time, later dubbed CSID- Chrono-Spatial Instability Disorder. This condition left him in a state where his body phased in and out of relativity, meaning that at times he could not interact with objects in any known dimension.
Christ, he and Tracer DO have a thing or two in common. he continued to read the dossier.
Awaking from an apparent coma several weeks later, it became apparent that further damage had been done, as he had no recollection of who he had been. Despite this, his existing skills and abilities- as well as his impressive knowledge base- remained unaffected.
He was vetted for service as an Operative with MI5 in July 2030 before entering service shortly thereafter, having being given 3 months basic training in several disciplines, including advanced unarmed combat, covert surveillance and survival.
He was transferred to MI6 for overseas operations in Early 2031, having shown exceptional talent in the field when deployed.
Operational information is available as individual Dossiers.
Winston scoffed. Typical, the juicy parts are the ones they don't include.
Fate:
Following the failed Operation Artemis (REF221-019ART-9920)- and the death of a close friend and fellow agent as a direct result- in September 2038, it became apparent that Lamont had been affected somewhat. His operational performance dropped, and his behaviour toward his colleagues became gradually more hostile. He was withdrawn from active service in July 2039, shortly thereafter being diagnosed with severe PTSD during psychiatric evaluations during his rehabilitation. No longer being deemed fit for service, he was eventually discharged from MI6 in February 2040, after attempts to mitigate his symptoms failed.
Winston stopped. Artemis. I remember that- it was one of the last things that happened before the UN decided we were needed, as an organisation. What a bloodbath that was.
Known activities post-service:
Little is known about Lamont's post-service activities, as he went off-grid. It is believed he joined a mercenary outfit known as 'The Coalition' (REF205-447COA-2409), as an Operative working under the callsign 'Omega' is noted to have taken part in at least 150 documented operations since 2040.
His current whereabouts and activities are unknown.
Hmpf, Winston thought, They aren't likely to find him while he's with us either.
CROWN COPYRIGHT 2045
Winston sat back, trying to fully understand what he had just read.
So this guy's the real McCoy. Hell, I've heard of him before now. He was known as the 'Real Bond'. And that's why he vanished.
He sat back in his chair. Tracer's in safe hands indeed. I'll bet she's still hating every minute of being in the jungle too...
