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.
PIPPA SMITH Alias: None
SENIOR AGENT OF FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, FORMALLY VASCU / SENIOR OPERATIVE OF ARCHANGEL SIN-EATER [REAPER, BLEEDING ONE; GEIST: THE BOY WITHOUT LEGS]
What should have been a fatal fall down the basement stairs of her home became the precedent for Pippa’s Bargain with the Boy Without Legs, and the end of her abusive husband. Pippa stuck it out in the FBI while keeping her powers a secret for as long as she could, but inevitably ending up catching the attention of Taskforce Valkryie. Like August Barnes, she was one of the Order of the Grateful Dead’s allies within the system, and played an instrumental part in the offensive against the Watcher in the Dark.
Prior to the Ides of March, Pippa was one of HECATON’s shadow operatives; her name was not listed within the Taskforce’s roster so that she can keep her position in the Bureau. However, now that Josh has rallied everyone in Special Ops to him, Pippa took the first opportunity to disappear and rejoin her comrades.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 06 OCTOBER 2016
Now that the President of the United States is in Baluerte, Pippa has taken charge of protecting him and his family. The Secret Service was, after all, decimated by the Ides and the chaos on the home front.
Pippa is fully aware of the fact that August has had a thing for her for a while, but she's decided not to move on it. Ain't nobody got time for romance, see. It's totally not because she's scared of trying. Nope.
