He had a lot on him on how he presented his findings to the council. With the ding of his microwave he opened the door and promptly burnt his hand taking the coffee out of the microwave. "Shit," he muttered he let his cup sit and ran cold water over his fingers.
Aden was a tall lean man trained with Special Forces and driven to attain the highest rank he could. When his military days were over, Aden decided he would go private sector but was immediately recruited by the CIA. That was when the then 29-year-old man had his first encounter with a dark power element and learned of the Department even the men in black feared. He was being appointed at the ripe old age of 47 to a unit that would rival the military's Special Forces. Even with the assignments with Navy Seals, MI-6 and Black Ops he found he had a superior team with special talents and was always amazed at how they could maintain a semblance of normalcy when they had dealt with the darkest vilest creatures imaginable. Currently, Aden who was not an unattractive man and held a quiet if not handsome demeanor in polite society had been a hired killer for his country for many of his younger years. Harden by his life experience he was now in theposition to decide if one of his Strike Team's members was ready for advancement. He was determined not to make the same mistake hispredecessor had made. Setting his coffee down he licked the burnt fingers as he turned on the cold-water facet. "Now Josette lets see if there is anything in here that would tell me why you thought two high level vampires would be good for recruitment." Roger CollinsRoger Collins married Laura Murdock i.e. refer to DP Phoenix, witchcraft. Laura and Roger had 1 child:
David Collins (39).
Side note: (DP incident 6608CM) Laura Collins was a witch with the powers of the Eternal Phoenix. She died by fire and had attempted to take her son, David Collins with her. Victoria Winters prevented her from taking David into the flames. Later Roger was enchanted and bewitched by Angelique Bouchard Collins i.e. witchcraft (DP incident 6708CM) of Diabolos (reference file ID DS1967) and in the guise of Cassandra Blair, married Roger.
Additional side note: Victoria Winters by use of the white witch powers incarcerated Laura Collins in an ice hell and she had not been seen or heard of since this time. Details are still pending on this incursion and no further confirmation has been found to either confirm or deny this allegation.
Max stood and moved to get a note pad and pen, moving back he made a quick note of the reference to Angelique's record and then began to read on. Muttering softly he said, "Roger obviously suffered from a weak mind." Finishing his note he went back to reading.
Roger later divorced Cassandra. On one of his business trips to Boston, he met another business associate Roxanne Drew and they were married. From this marriage they had 1 issue, a daughter Melanie (25).
Roger and Roxanne are enjoying semi retirement and live in Boston and travel to Collinsport to visit. They reside in an uptown penthouse and appear to enjoy the good life, traveling and cruising whenever they wish.
Max rolled his eyes and muttered, "Who writes this stuff? Sounds like a soap opera." Turning to his note pad, he made another note. "Historian should be more clinical in analysis of backgrounds for future references." Then he flipped the page on his I pad and began to read again.

He may have acquired this talent from his mother. The option as a recruitment was abandoned (See reference DS1966-1967)

She is called upon on some occasions to assist in the recovery of skeletal remains and identification of the dead bodies and the means they died.

(REF DP incursion JZSWT 1891/CP1841QC pending)

The next page came up and Aden noted it was the end of the current family tree of the Collins family and he made another note to research if background had discovered the father of Victoria Winters.

Max adjusted his weight to a more comfortable position and leaned back to think about this for a moment and then made a note in his notebook and then began to read again and sighed. "Ahh hah Dr. Hoffman, now I find out about you."

Max sat back and sighed. He knew he had some more research to do, and this was helping him reacquaint himself with his newest assignment and assessment for advancement of his first strike team. He had been assigned the hell mouth activities of the Eastern Seaboard.
He knew there was recent movement and now he had to activate a team to see what kind of Intel he would get with his top team taking the field. Laying the pad on the table, he shifted and slid down on his sofa and closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. He was getting a headache and needed to sleep on this. That is if the dark powers surrounding the Eastern Seaboard hell mouth would give him time to rest.
