Agent Wilkes
Background
Garfield Wilkes was born to a working-class family in Brampton, Ontario. Raised on cold winters, warm values, and a sharp eye for details, Wilkes stood out early—not because he sought attention, but because he always noticed what others missed. Recruited into CSIS in his early 20s after a brief stint in university and a scandalous disappearance from a “defunct” Canadian black-ops training program, Wilkes disappeared from public record. What followed was a career so classified, most CSIS agents only know him as a name passed between mission files and whispered warnings.
Over the last 30 years, Wilkes has done it all. He’s cracked posthuman spy rings. Infiltrated terrorist metahuman cells. Negotiated ceasefires with literal alien emissaries. Shot cult leaders. Burned haunted data centers. Talked extra-dimensional entities into containment agreements. And always—always—walked away without a trace.
Now in his early 50s, he serves as a liaison to Northforce, Canada’s premier super-team, where his “normal” status is a feature, not a bug. He reminds them what the world looks like without powers—and how damn dangerous one man with a plan can be. He has caches across the globe, backups of backups, kill-switches for rogue heroes, and dossiers on everyone who matters. Most people fear what they can’t understand. Wilkes understands too much to be afraid. And if he is afraid?
It’s already too late for you.
Personality
Wilkes is what happens when a man survives three decades of conspiracies, monsters, politics, and powered lunacy—and keeps caring anyway.
He’s dry, unreadable, and strictly professional. Rarely smiles. Rarely jokes unless the situation is lethal. But beneath the cold surface lies a tired patriot with a soul full of scars and steel. He quietly hates bureaucracy, but he plays the game better than the generals. He mistrusts powered individuals, but protects good ones like an iron uncle. He’s loyal to his people—but never blind to corruption, even in the crown.
If there’s one rule Agent Wilkes lives by, it’s this:
“The job is to stop the worst from happening—even when the worst is us.”
