Employee Identification

Name: Blaze Octane
Position: Magical Asset / Thaumatological Investigator
Specialization: Offensive Spellcasting, Crowd Control, Arcane Analysis
Status: Active Field Operative

Professional Profile

Blaze Octane serves as the firm's primary magical combat specialist and arcane investigator. His operational focus is high-impact spellcasting, particularly destructive magic used to neutralize hostile threats and control dangerous situations.

Octane previously operated as an independent magical contractor but experienced difficulty securing consistent work due to concerns regarding collateral damage from his aggressive spellcasting style. Employment with a structured firm provides oversight, operational coordination, and legal cover that allows him to deploy his abilities more effectively.

Octane is self-aware regarding his strengths and limitations. He openly acknowledges that subtlety, technical operations, and strategic planning are not his focus. Instead, he specializes in raw magical power and direct application of combat magic when situations require decisive force.

Operational Philosophy

Octane does not hold ideological loyalty to the firm. To him, the organization represents professional employment and a stable source of income while allowing him to practice the magical work he enjoys.

Despite this pragmatic outlook, Octane maintains a clear personal code regarding the use of force.

Operational Line:
He refuses to harm innocent civilians or participate in operations that intentionally destroy the lives of uninvolved people, regardless of the legality or corporate justification behind such actions.

He has no issue working against criminal elements or participating in corporate conflicts where all parties involved understand the risks. However, he will not function as a tool for unjust harm.

When circumstances permit and his personal code is not violated, Octane is willing to bend rules or procedural guidelines if doing so improves the outcome of a mission.

Behavior Under Stress

Octane has a known tendency toward emotional reactions during high-pressure scenarios. While generally controlled, he can display a hot-headed temperament when provoked.

He has acknowledged this issue and actively attempts to moderate his responses during operations.

Situations involving civilians in immediate danger are particularly stressful for him and may trigger aggressive intervention.

Psychological Notes

Trust Assessment:
Octane reports that he assessed members of the team through magical observation of their spiritual presence and determined them to be trustworthy.

Team Compatibility:
He works well with individuals who think critically and evaluate orders carefully.

He demonstrates strong dislike for personnel who follow orders blindly without considering consequences.

Personal Connections

Mentor – Arcane Instructor
While largely self-taught, Octane studied under an older mage he encountered in a library during his early magical development. This individual remains one of the few people Octane respects deeply. The mentor gifted him a lighter that now functions as a personal spell focus.

Known Adversaries

Octane formerly worked for a megacorporate employer. During a past assignment he discovered that the operation would destroy the lives of numerous innocent civilians under the justification of “protecting corporate interests.”

Octane intentionally sabotaged the operation and abandoned the job.

This action saved the targeted civilians but created hostility from his former employer and former coworkers. Some individuals associated with that organization may still hold grudges.

Unresolved Psychological Burden

Early in his magical career, Octane accidentally caused a large uncontrolled fire that resulted in severe property damage and injuries.

The incident was never traced back to him.

Although no legal consequences followed, the event continues to weigh on him psychologically. It has reinforced his belief that his magic is inherently destructive, which motivates him to direct that destructive potential only toward targets he believes deserve it.

Threat Sensitivities

Situations involving hostages or civilians in immediate danger strongly affect Octane’s decision-making. He is particularly uncomfortable with scenarios where innocent people may be used as leverage.

Long-Term Outlook

When asked to define success in the next five years, Octane’s goals are straightforward:

• Remain alive


• Accumulate significant financial resources


• Eventually relocate somewhere quieter and more natural than the neon-soaked streets of Seattle

Supervisor Notes

Blaze Octane is a powerful magical asset whose capabilities are best utilized in high-risk confrontations where decisive magical force is required.

While his temperament requires occasional management, his personal moral code aligns well with the firm’s operational standards regarding civilian safety.

When properly directed, Octane provides significant tactical advantage during hostile engagements.
