Brought into the fold by the untimely death of their friend, the members of Bakunawa Operations lived most of their lives painfully oblivious to the truth because Diamond Dog sought to protect them. The time for that has long passed.
The members of Bakunawa Operations know where Diamond Dog's Private Investigations Office actually is, but they've deliberately chosen to not use it as their headquarters. They've named themselves such in honor of the fact that it was D who kept them together all these years, and it's D who watched over them until they decided, collectively, that they couldn't keep relying on someone else to put their necks on the line for their safety.
JACOBO "JACOB" NATIVIDAD Alias: Bossing Jay
Affiliations: The Maharlika, Netsach SLEEPWALKER; BLADE LEADER OF BAKUNAWA OPERATIONS / PHILIPPINE CONGRESSMAN [DISTRICT 2]. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: NETSACH.
Another one of Diamond Dog’s tenacious and (in D’s opinion) overly stubborn childhood friends who leapt headlong into the World of Darkness the moment the truth was revealed to him. His experience in the government has served the Maharlika rather well. There might just be a Senatorial bid for him in the future – provided that the world doesn’t end, anyway.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
The Maharlika has acknowledged Jacob's competence, and included him in their latest batch of administrators almost immediately after he joined the compact. This puts him on the same level as Andrea Vazquez and Neeka Zobel de Ayala.
Jakob is spearheading congressional hearings on all matters pertaining to passing resolutions, acts, and bills for the supernatural community within the Philippines.
AMELIA "AMY" WHITE Alias: Professor Hot Stuff (only in ADMU)
Affiliations: Taskforce Valkyrie, HECATON Special Operations, Aegis Kai Doru SLEEPWALKER; SECOND OF BAKUNAWA OPERATIONS / JUNIOR SCROLL, ASSIGNED TO THE LABYRINTH IN CORON / LIAISON TO TAFT BASE. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: AEGIS KAI DORU.
Diamond Dog’s childhood best friend and kinda-sorta girlfriend who used to “Professor Hotsuff” of the History Department in Ateneo de Manila University. Her persistent push for the truth of what happened to her and her friends in Taal eventually led her to Aegis Kai Doru with D’s help. Commander Lenny Ramirez of Taft Base generously sheltered her until Aegis came to the country. Amy’s training period, however, was ridiculously short. To quote Vriska: “We really didn’t have to do much. She was born for this kind of shit!”
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
Amy grew interested in Null Mysteris during her time with HECATON Taskforce Valkryie. She ALSO found Network Zero fascinating. She's hoping that these changes within the Vigil will mean increased cooperation and academic exchanges between the conspiracies. If it does, she is so on that shit like butter on bread.
Apparently, she and Diamond Dog manage to get in a lot of time with each other through the dreams. Inception, anyone?
LORENZO "ENZO" CABALLERO Alias: None
Affiliations: The Midnight Riders SLEEPWALKER; JUNIOR RIDER, ARBITER IN TRAINING. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS.
The driven social worker among Diamond Dog’s mortal friends, known for his propensity to dote on whoever he meets until they’ve proven themselves to be complete dickwads. Enzo leapt right into the World of Darkness without a second thought the moment D revealed everything to him. He’s been doing good work with the Riders so far, and has no intention of backing down.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
Some recent scrapes on the job have shown Enzo that he's surprisingly resilient, even by supernatural standards. Could this mean that he's "waking up" to a Gift? Only time will tell.
Cisco and Cen have assigned Enzo to courier duty for the Department of Supernatural Affairs in Manila.
JOSEPH GAVINO Alias: None
Affiliations: Zangyaku TOUCHED [DEATHSPEAKER]; INITIATE OF ZANGYAKU. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: ZANGYAKU.
Joseph was planning on ending his story with Diamond Dog at "he just happened to be that forensics guy who helped Dante and Jerry out with taking down their commander". Truth be told, he and his family have been allies to the Wolf in the Philippines for a very long time. He used to be content with staying in the background and helping Estanislao Marisigan out with his so-called “real job” as a War Hound. And then his brother – one of the oni-tsukai who was slaughtered due to the Dovetailor’s influence – disappeared.
Now that there is nothing stopping Joseph from joining Zangyaku properly, the Deathspeaker is twiddling his thumbs and waiting on when the next initiation ceremony will be scheduled.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
Joseph is currently the legal guardian of his brother's children.
Deathspeakers can perceive and communicate with the dead as though they were flesh and blood. They're completely immune to ghostly powers, but, in turn, they do not wield any supernatural ability to control ghosts.
JERRY PANGAN Alias: None
Affiliations: The Methuselah SLEEPWALKER; SEVENTH CIRCLE HUNTER {BLACK KNIGHT}. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: THE METHUSELAH.
Formerly the Chief of Police at Kamuning Station, and yet ANOTHER one of Diamond Dog’s old friends. He and D were partners back when D was still on the force, and was D’s primary source of information while he was running Bakunawa Operations. Even though there were many options, Jerry made the hard and principled decision of rejecting the original plan of going to the Maharlika in favor of joining the Methuselah. Kaiser Bahaghari needs backup.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
Jerry was perfectly prepared to step down as the chief of his station, but Charo was the one who told him that the Methuselah needed him to be there. There is talk of making it a permanent safehouse in Manila for operatives of the Dragon's conspiracy. Now that the Veil has broken, Jerry has been re-assigned from Chief of Police in Kamuning to one of the heads of the force of armed government agents they are planning to put under the Department of Supernatural Affairs.
BETTINA ANGELES-PANGAN Alias: None
Affiliations: The Methuselah SLEEPWALKER; SEVENTH CIRCLE HUNTER {BLACK BISHOP}. PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: THE METHUSELAH.
Jerry’s loving wife and the former secretary of Kamuning Police Station who stumbled upon the shit that Jerry and D were up to, also known as busting corruption and taking names. She was his girlfriend at the time, and seeing her boy in action pretty much resolved her to stay with him for life. That’s the main reason why, against Jerry’s better wishes, she’s joined him in the Methuselah.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
Betty took point figuring out whether her family or Jerry's has a latent gift the moment her training finished. She's of the opinion that a partial awakening won't be enough to protect her or her husband from the things that might come at them. So far, however, Betty's research hasn't yielded any results.
Kaiser Bahaghari has assigned Betty as one of the Methuselah's liaisons with the Philippines' Department of Supernatural Affairs.
