Cypher
"You can't break a man the way you break a dog...or a horse. The harder you beat a man, the taller he stands. To break a man's will, to break his spirit, you have to break his mind. Men have this idea that we can fight with dignity, that it's the proper way to kill someone; it's absurd, it's inaesthetic. We needed to endure the bloody horror of murder. You must destroy that idea. Show them what a messy, terrible thing it is to kill a man... and then show them that you relish in it. Shoot the wounded, then execute the wounded; burn them. Take them in close combat, destroy their preconceptions of what a man is, and you become their personal monster. When they fear you... you become stronger, you become better. But let's never forget, it's a display, it's a posture, like a lion's roar or a gorilla thumping at his chest. If you lose yourself with display, if you succumb to the horror... then you become the monster. You become reduced. Not more than a man, but less; and it can be fatal." - The Jackal, Farcry 2

Description
Cypher is a augmented human and a ex-UNTIL intelligence agent. He's done many jobs in his time ranging from intelligence broker to full blown assassin showing that Cyph has and always will be able to adapt to what life throws at him. He has had a troubled past but doesn't seem to let it hold him down anymore, focusing on tipping off the right people at the right time. He works to solve cases that the MCPD or Interpol let go cold or prevent ones from happening. As long as no one knows he was involved, he's happy.
Physical Appearance
Cypher is a slender man at 6'4 ft tall and weighting only 215 ibs. His body can best be described as slender and lean, having toned muscles in his chest, one of the few areas on him that is still flesh or mostly so. His arms and legs are a slim, flesh colored augmented prosthetic, having black synthetic muscles and plates that work to protect it, the design however for military grade augmentations seem to be more advanced than most cybernetics. Considering he is rarely outside of his long black trench coat he is deathly pale in the skin tone department, also having scars almost everywhere where flesh was still on his body, his face the one exception having mostly smooth skin but also having the triple cuts on his bottom lip as well as a large eye scar. His arm and shoulder have holo-pads glowing out of them, oddly enough these orange devices are built into him and if one looked close enough they could tell. He wears a Kevlar vest under his jacket, along with grey slacks and black combat boots. His mask is one of the key features he has as well, solid black and smooth it keeps his face covered and points out the burning ember cybernetic eyes that he has though his ashen locks tend to help hide them. The mask itself is a type of ballistic face mask made of Kevlar and carbon fiber, having a see through cloth on the slit like eye slots to hide his eyes even more, with that and the clear signs of age to it such as battle scars and slight slashes on the lightweight but decently thick mask. One notable feature is that on his neck he holds four dog tags, one being his own and three more. He also tends to wear gloves, as well as keeping his collar up to hide the handle to his Kukri blade.

Public Opinions.
Public opinions of Cypher go here if you have something:
"He never asked for this." - Snowtalon
"Try not to bother him, he can be scary if you're on the wrong side of him..." - White 'Glint' Cobra
"...We are certain that Cypher has the capability to empty an entire room with only a single magazine in an low graded firearm. This isn't too surprising since we have known Cypher for quite awhile now... Though, what we are surprised about is the fact he hasn't tried to put a bullet in our head... Yet, anyway." - The Collective
"He comes and he goes, like a ghost in the night. Sometimes he's there, sometimes he's not, and sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of him. But if you're not, you'll never see him coming, and he will be coming for you. This is one ghost you don't want haunting you." - Dingo
