Information
Undercover Ministry of Intelligence operative in the Syndicate
Chance McKnight is one of the most dedicated officers in the Ministry of Intelligence. He's taken on the responsibility of going undercover into the Syndicate, doing questionable acts that go against everything he believes in in order to get a chance to accomplishing something greater; the arrest of the Syndicate's shadowy leaders. For the past six months McKnight has worked his way up the ladder of leadership and is very close to accomplishing his goal.

Initial Contact
Welcome to the gray before the black, Character. You can't judge what we do here, only the results. To do so would compromise everything we are working for and jeopardize us all.
The best thing to do is forget everything you know and just do what it takes to survive. That's the mentality of the people we're infiltrating, they have no greater aspirations than to elevate themselves over others. You will need to embrace that ideology if you hope to get to the top of the Syndicate... or rather, a fragment of what was once the Syndicate.
It's an all out war, and we're in the middle of it. I'm already deep into the organization, but follow my lead and we'll do well together.

McKnight's Katana
Chance McKnight gave you a katana. He said it was given to him by Boss Tatsuri, the man who he initially worked for as an operative undercover in the Syndicate. McKnight said that Tatsuri was actually a good man, and when he was assassinated by Sigg Bowman, McKnight almost went undercover for good. Sometimes you take the weapon off of its stand and pull the mirror finished blade free from its black lacquered scabbard and reflect on the massacre in the streets of Imperial City known as:
The Syndicate Corp Wars
It all started when you were assigned to work with an undercover operative named Chance McKnight. McKnight had infiltrated the Syndicate, and was by far the deepest anyone had ever gone in before. He had information that elements of the Syndicate were allying with the Resistance and under those pretenses he had you play the part of a Resistance sympathizer in Powers Division. In order to prove your worth he sent you against Byron Wade, one of Octavian's lieutenants.
With Wade smashed, McKnight sent you to meet with his boss, Mr. Richard Jones. Jones had you attack a lab owned by another rival Syndicate boss by the name of Masamoto.
The attack completely caught Masamoto off guard, and he wrongly believed that it was done by Octavian's men. Taking advantage of the distraction, Jones sent you and Chance McKnight in to capture Masamoto. Armed with mini-guns the two of you made short work of Masamoto's guards.
Jones wasn't the only one impressed with your abilities, he sent you to meet his boss, Mr. Tub Ci Tang. Tang bestowed his plan to use mercy as a way to starve Octavian of supporters and to draw the survivors of the other Syndicate rivals back to the true Syndicate. He then had you show Masamoto just how merciful he was by beating him to within an inch of his life and then offering to welcome him back into the Syndicate.
With Masamoto and his men now back in the fold of the true Syndicate, Mr. Tang called upon you to eliminate the only remaining rival; Octavian. You stormed Octavian's corporation and swept aside his defenders. Squaring off against Octavian proved to be a tough affair, he was a powerful psychic and had rallied many powerful allies to his cause, but in the end you overcame even him.
Broken and defeated you questioned Octavian of what was the cause of the Syndicate Corp Wars and learned that while the line in the sand was about ideology, the true reason the war started was because Penelope Yin, the daughter of the Syndicate's true leader, Wu Yin, had disappeared. Accusations of kidnapping were all it took for blood to start being spilled and paranoia to run rampant. In the end, Yin turned to the Resistance for aid. The move further divided the Syndicate but ultimately, as you can attest, Yin prevailed.
You snap the blade back into the scabbard and place it back on the stand wondering if one day it will be used to draw Syndicate blood again.

A Photo of Penny
Mr. Wu Yin, the CEO of global mega-corporation Yin Corp, gave you this picture of his daughter, Penelope Yin. Whenever you look at her smiling face you can't help but smile and think that a doting daughter is any father's:
One Weakness
You remember the moment well, finding Mr. Wu Yin giving a victory speech to the surviving Syndicate over the Yin Corp tower's internal sound system. Tub Ci Tang informed Yin of your arrival, and then the two of them explained their plan to join the Resistance in order to rescue his daughter, Penelope, from Praetor Tilman's Seer program. It was here that you were faced with a choice: If you arrested Yin it would cause the Syndicate to break up once more, flooding the streets of Imperial City with violence. But if you let Mr. Yin carry out his plan to join forces with the Resistance, then you would validate all of the vicious atrocities that he and his organization have inflicted upon Praetoria City and the world.
