Cate Archer - Character Biography

Character Biography

Cate Archer was born in Scotland in 1942 to (at first) a privileged family. Prior to joining UNITY, Archer used to follow a career in thievery due to troublesome childhood and early death of her parents (her mother's death soon after she was born and her father's suicide in 1956). She was discovered by agent Bruno Lawrie, when Archer stole his watch that had a tracking device, and by the time she arrived at her flat, Lawrie was waiting there. Admiring her talent and bravery, he decided to give her a future as an operative for UNITY - an international agency charged with combating terrorism around the globe.

Before the First H.A.R.M Incident (The Operative), Archer mainly dealt with minor unnoted assignments. She wasn't completely satisfied with her сareer at UNITY, since she thought that there was no real value in her daily work. In September 1967, seven active UNITY field operatives were killed by a mysterious assassin, who always left a red lily upon his victim. This situation has forced the organization to call Archer in for her first major assignment due to lack of competent workforce. She and Bruno Lawrie were the only available well-trained agents at the time. By the time the incident was resolved, she gained respect as an operative, and became one of the top field agents.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or biography:

    “Much of a man’s character will be found betokened in his backbone. I would rather feel your spine than your skull, whoever you are. A thin joist of a spine never yet upheld a full and noble soul.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
    —James Boswell (1740–95)
