The elite fighting force of HECATON Special Operations, meant to carry out special engagements that the rest of the compact can’t quite handle and assist the Wings with their command duties. Many of their members occupied positions of power within supernatural communities or within World of Light governments as a means of helping HECATON further its goals. This is proving rather useful at present, given how quickly things unraveled on the Ides of March.
Not just anyone can become a part of the Cabinet. It’s an honor reserved for the “original members” of Special Operations and their children – descendants of the originals are expected to become soldiers of the squad that their elders were a part of. Positions in the Phantom Corps are also reserved for the men and women of other compacts who assisted HECATON in the past (particularly during the Great Wars), often at great risk to themselves. Another entry point into the Cabinet is serving HECATON during a war.
ANNIE FINNICK Alias: Iron She-Wolf in the Desert
GRAY KNIGHT [EAGLE & BEAR] IRRAKA IRON MASTER
The daughter of one of the first Uratha to join HECATON, Annie signed on with Josh and Cindy – two of her childhood friends – the moment their parents gave them their blessings. She’s the tracker and scout of Bates, protecting her squadron by making sure that their way is always made straight. The Phantom Corps, however, requires her presence elsewhere for long stretches of time. Suffice to say, whenever the boys have an engagement while she’s out, they find themselves thoroughly missing their eyes/ears on the ground.
Annie’s ongoing assignment before things started getting hot in the Vigil was to assist the Uratha in the Canadian Rockies. She had a personal stake in that because of her family: her grandmother is one of the tribe leaders down there. Annie obeyed orders and retreated to Manila after accusations against Jill hit public channels, but she eventually requested (strong-armed) Josh into allowing her to return to Canada the moment Baluerte went live. She’s yet to check in.
