FOUNDATION DATABASE

NTF XO 'LONGSWORD'

Early Life & Military Service:

Reagan L. Faile was born in Fort Benton, Montana, into a long line of military men. Raised on stories of valor and discipline, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 18 and was quickly recognized for his sharp mind and tactical decisiveness. As a tactical officer aboard an intelligence-gathering vessel, Reagan saw action in multiple high-tension zones and earned commendations for leadership under pressure.

But his career was abruptly derailed after an unsanctioned mission — details of which remain classified — resulted in the deaths of two civilian contractors and the destruction of sensitive materials. Whether scapegoat or guilty party, Reagan was quietly discharged under "Other Than Honorable" conditions.

Following his discharge, Reagan vanished off-grid for several years. Unbeknownst to most, he was detained during a failed attempt to access restricted CERN anomaly data under a false identity. The Foundation, already aware of his past, designated him D-50938 and transferred him to Site 66, Alaska — a place known for low survival rates and high anomaly activity.

Entry into Site 66 Through D-Class:

There, Reagan spent months in D-Class rotation, assigned primarily to low-priority testing and containment maintenance — work meant to kill most within weeks.

It was during this time he crossed paths with two other notable D-Class inmates:

Frank Stevens and Whitey Bulger

Though they weren’t friends — no one in D-Block was — Reagan kept a quiet, strategic distance from both men. Stevens ran a kind of underground barter network among inmates, while Bulger kept mostly to himself, obsessively scribbling indecipherable equations on the walls of his cell. Reagan didn’t trust either of them, but he respected what they represented: intelligence sharpened by desperation.

Eventually, a staffing crisis in Site 66’s Research Division forced command to pull from the D-Class pool. Reagan, flagged due to his military background and stable psychological profile, was selected for reassignment. Stevens and Bulger were also pulled — not at the same time, and not for the same reasons.

Rebirth in Research:

Reagan — now cleared for use of his real name again — proved invaluable. His prior military training allowed him to take point during dangerous on-site testing, while Stevens and Bulger offered the scientific brainpower. Together, they pioneered several minor but effective containment refinements.

But Site 66 is not a place of permanence.

One day, Stevens and Bulger were gone. No trace, no official records. Just two empty bunks and a transfer order that never made it to the central database. Rumors persist: Stevens was devoured by SCP-682; Bulger… just stopped showing up to roll call one day. Reagan never talks about it.

Reagan never asked questions. Not because he didn’t want answers — but because at Site 66, survival meant knowing when to stay silent. 

Transition to Mobile Task Force:

Reagan earned full Researcher credentials. He became known for high-stakes testing coordination and reliable containment planning. His unique combination of field-hardened instincts and technical knowledge led to his transfer to MTF Epsilon-11 "Nine-Tailed Fox", where he served with distinction in multiple large-scale breaches.

Starting at the very bottom of the chain as a Private, Reagan had to earn every inch of respect in a unit that didn’t care for past lives or second chances. His adaptability in active breach scenarios, particularly his ability to stay calm and lethal under extreme pressure, marked him as more than just another Research washout. Over time, he clawed his way through the ranks — first as a Corporal, then a Staff Sergeant — often acting as point man during high-risk recontainment operations, and later training rookies in advanced sweep-and-clear tactics.

When offered the rank of Warrant Officer, it wasn’t because of politics, favoritism, or even seniority. It was because no one else could do what Reagan did — not with his precision, not with his understanding of how anomalies move, behave, and break. When given the chance to choose his callsign, he didn’t hesitate:

“Longsword” — not just a weapon, but a philosophy. A tool of finality. Cold, balanced, and relentless. Unlike the flash of a pistol or the brutality of a hammer, the longsword is wielded with patience, discipline, and purpose. Not made for defense. Made to end things.
