HECATON SPECIAL OPERATIONS Not a single person in Taskforce Valkyrie doesn’t know about the conspiracy’s glorious history, particularly the historical records and accounts from the conspiracy’s precursor in the HECATON Special Operations Unit. Named for the many-armed monster both because of what it symbolizes and because they wanted to do homage to the Unit’s “mascot” Brigade, HECATON made the Taskforce what it is today, right down to the values that the conspiracy is supposed to uphold. Once the conspiracy within Taskforce Valkyrie’s conspiracy, operating in secret within their own organization with the express goal of reforming Taskforce Valkyrie before the end of 2012. HECATON is the actual “head” of the institutional beast that the Taskforce is in tonight's Vigil, comprised of the best that the conspiracy has to offer. Their members are 70% supernatural, and operate off the books. The remaining 30% are Deadwalkers (or secretly Sleepwalkers) who moved things within TFV and the American government for their companions. Joshua Larue's rise as a Malice King, however, marked HECATON's break away from Taskforce Valkyrie following the rising dark within the Vigil, and the corruption within their own ranks. HECATON’s agenda goes far, FAR beyond creating a safe and friendly Vigil for the Americas and any friend to the United States. They’re out to reform their own Taskforce, preparing it for the coming of the New Age – something that is only going to happen after they stop the Apocalypse. They’re out to purify the Vigil, to restore it to what it was meant to be the day that the Dragon decided to form the Methuselah. They’re out to bring an end to this war between the Kings, and the best way that they’ve determined how to act on that is to continue helping Hikaru Shinta and Riley Falner. They plan on doing this at all costs, even if it means fighting their own comrades.

THE WINGS :: Senator Miriam Harper, Speaker of the House

[geistnet]

MIRIAM HARPER Alias: None US SENATOR [DEMOCRAT] / SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE [BARRETT COMMISSION] CARD [TOWER TRIUMPH; PERSONA: OPHELIA THE MAD] Lars Hartzler’s wife, betrayed by him when she inadvertently stood in his way through passing legislations that made life difficult for the Methuselah. The last straw for him was the part she tried to play in stopping the Watcher in the Dark. The universe, however, has a REALLY funny way of providing select people with the means for revenge. Case in point: the fact that Miriam came back from the dead in a fashion similar to those horrific ghost stories on vengeful dead spouses. The only one who’s feeling the horror here is the Good Doctor, though; HECATON was only too happy to welcome Miriam to the Barrett Commission. The price for her loyalty? Giving her all the means of putting an end to her husband and anyone who was associated with him. With the upheavals caused by the Ides of March and the total collapse of the Veil, Miriam is one of the only US Senators who is friendly to the United Vigil's cause. She's got her work cut out for her now moreso than ever. PLOT POINTS AS OF 06 OCTOBER 2016 Senator Harper was instrumental in helping Jonathan Essex's bid for Senate. There's no telling how things are going to go in that direction now, though. Taskforce Valkryie's Barrett Commission used to elect a spokesperson as "Speaker of the House" every three years. Josh has decided to follow that practice for his own Commission.
