Asset: Codename 'Tripwire'

In the course of assaying an anomolous transplacement phenomenon at the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu cave in Wales (see file CF-95121-50213b for site report), a Containment Corp. field team discovered then-designated CZ-2710 A.K.A. Lair-Keeg Clannag, or 'Tripwire'. After a briefly aggressive confrontation and pursuit, Lair-Keeg voluntarily accompanied the team out of a mutual interest of information gathering.

Lair-Keeg was determined to be a cross-dimensional 'exile' to our world due to phenomenon still not fully understood - and had become stranded within the OFD cave system at an indeterminate point. Lair-Keeg possessed a notably high degree of familiarity with elements of contemporary human culture, driving further considerations to ongoing study of parallel worlds and/or an existent 'multiverse.'

Expressing a veterancy in combat efficacy and operations, upon learning of the efforts of the Otherworldly Threat Tactical Response (O.T.T.R.) initiative, he requested consideration for recruitment. Administration in the Containment Corp. division determined clearance as an active participatory asset, assessing that that capture and study would not be necessary.

Findings and dossier are included as follows:

Description:

Lair-Keeg Clannag, A.K.A. Tripwire, is a reptilian humanoid entity standing 0.8 meters tall, with a physiology ascribed as consistent with previously believed to be fictional 'kobolds.' Tripwire has a digitgrade stance with horns, scales, claws and sharp teeth consistent with predatory species. Subject's diminutive stature belies disproportionate strength and resilience - and his hide is demonstrably resistant to heat and flames. Subject's claws are capable of excavation through soft terrain at an impressive rate, accommodating the rapid formation of subterranean tunneling.

Dossier:

Tripwire's assertions of having been a military commando on his 'home world' proved to be accurate, possessing a significant level of expertise in infiltration, sabotage and demolition roles in particular. As such, the organization believed his usefulness as an asset for the O.T.T.R. initiative warranted placement.

In the field, Tripwire has demonstrated extensive familiarity with the strategic deployment and detonation of explosives, with a notable skill at minimizing threats of civilian collateral. To this end, he has expressed a determination described as 'adamant' that he wishes to avoid endangering bystanders whenever possible.

Tripwire has expressed having served as a key member of a defensive initiative overseeing civilian infrastructure in his past against threats similar to those which O.T.T.R. is typically deployed to engage.

Owing in part to his small stature, Tripwire has an excellent talent for operating undetected in hostile territory - affording him ample opportunity for the deployment of ordinance to undermine and eliminate active or potential threats. As Tripwire's inhuman physiology boasts a resistance to fire, he is more willing to risk personal injury in order to achieve maximal impact of his preparations against foes.

Current Status:

Tripwire serves as a core member of the O.T.T.R. elite response team alongside other assets serving under the direct command of Rook. He has proven particularly adept at breaching and infiltrating well-defended or dangerous locations and has reliably minimized or avoided potential collateral damage to other O.T.T.R. field personnel or any civilian presence.

Deployment is recommended for any operation where delivering decisive damage at key opportunities is desired, and his capacity for counteracting and eliminating periphery threats or 'minions' is notable. Tripwire is an affable team-player and works well with others, particularly those with a sense of humor.
