Editing The Rook - Cry Havoc/Gabriel Hale (section)

==Crossing Paths, Revisited==
<br />

After having spent the last two years being run through a battery of psych tests and combat drills (and entirely unsure what the point of identifying Rorschach blots while pinned by 3 heavy machineguns was in service of), Trevor was finally cleared for active duty assignments. Before he could be assigned to a team, however, he was tasked with clearing out a small cult that had taken root in a sleepy little town and that this was to be considered a test of his resourcefulness. As he killed the last cultist, the young man choked out a cryptic warning that he was just being used by his new masters as a gurgling noise.<br />

Hale was sent in to assist Mackenzie when the core group of the cult retreated to an unknown locale.  Hale wasn't briefed on the mission particulars and was pretty much sent in to interrogate a captured cultist.  After some liberal applications of mental persuasion, he was able to rendezvous with Mackenzie and inform him of the details of the location of the remaining cultists.  The only problem was that the poor soul Hale interrogated was being used as an asset and resource, both politically and financially, for one of the Knights.<br />
<br />
Aspect: ''' ''Dodging the Knight'' ''' - Since Hale's performance in Mackenzie's case, he's been on the list of the one knight's most despised members in the Checquy.  While Hale was acting on orders, the Knight can't really be too upset with the superiors so (s)he places most of the blame on Hale.  Hale knows this and is usually unconcerned.  The Knight is not the type to outright arrange a murder... he's fairly certain... but (s)he does make his life fairly difficult from time to time, though working around these barriers as opened up a few advantages for Hale...  Hale and the Knight also are both mutually aware of how Hale ambitiously eye's the current Knight's office....
