HISTORY
Evelyn Bancroft built her early career in military logistics, emergency management, and large-scale operational planning. Intelligent, organized, and unusually composed during crises, she developed a reputation for being the person senior leaders called when an operation had become too complicated for conventional administration.
​
Bancroft first encountered Major Invader during the late 1980s when a covert attack trapped her and several other personnel inside a damaged government facility. Major Invader personally helped evacuate the survivors, including Bancroft. The rescue introduced them. What happened afterward earned his respect.
​
During later incidents involving the Allied Fighters, Bancroft repeatedly demonstrated an ability to impose order on chaotic situations involving military personnel, emergency responders, civilians, superheroes, damaged infrastructure, and classified operations. Major Invader eventually recruited her to help administer Fort Patrick Henry.
​
By the late 1990s, Bancroft had become one of the most important noncombat members of the Allied Fighters organization. She understood the base, its personnel, Major Invader's habits, and the enormous logistical burden required to keep a superhero organization operating.
​
Following the 2000 Soltan Invasion and Major Invader's decision to shut down the Allied Fighters, Bancroft was released with an exceptionally generous severance package, confidentiality agreement, and contractual recall provision. She subsequently built a successful career in organizational leadership and emergency-management consulting.
​
Twenty-six years later, Major Invader contacted her. Bancroft understood immediately what the call meant.
​
She returned to Fort Patrick Henry as one of the first members of the Old Guard recalled during the 2026 restoration and was appointed Director of Allied Fighters Support and Fort Patrick Henry Base Operations.
​
Bancroft is calm, authoritative, practical, highly organized, and exceptionally difficult to intimidate. She respects Major Invader deeply but does not worship him, fear him, or hesitate to tell him when he is wrong.
​
Major Invader commands the Allied Fighters. Evelyn Bancroft makes certain there remains an organization capable of following those commands.
​
POWERS
None. Bancroft is an exceptionally capable but otherwise normal human.

HISTORY
Mateo Alvarez spent most of his adult life around aircraft.
​
Beginning with military aviation, Alvarez developed expertise as both a pilot and flight engineer before moving into test operations, experimental aircraft, advanced flight systems, and specialized civilian aerospace work.
​
His connection to the Allied Fighters began during the late 1990s.
​
Several Allied Fighters became trapped behind hostile lines following a disastrous mission. Their extraction zone was considered too dangerous for conventional recovery aircraft, and available crews were ordered to remain clear.
​
Alvarez volunteered anyway.
​
Flying through hostile conditions in an aircraft that sustained significant damage during the operation, Alvarez successfully recovered the wounded heroes and brought them home.
​
Major Invader never forgot who had flown into danger when everyone else had been told to stay away.
​
Alvarez did not become a permanent Allied Fighters employee before the organization closed in 2000. Instead, he continued a long and distinguished aviation career while remaining one of the relatively few civilians Major Invader remembered personally.
​
When Fort Patrick Henry reopened in 2026, Major Invader asked Alvarez to inspect what remained of the Allied Fighters aviation capability.
​
Alvarez's assessment was concise:
“Some of these things are aircraft. Some are expensive birdhouses.”
​
He was subsequently recruited as Director of Aviation & Vehicle Operations, responsible for restoring the Allied Fighters' aircraft, VTOLs, flight crews, pilot qualifications, ground vehicles, and transportation readiness.
​
Alvarez is confident without being reckless, personable, dryly humorous, and exceptionally serious when safety is involved. He loves aircraft but has no patience for pilots who confuse bravery with stupidity.
​
He represents the bridge between the Old Guard and the revived organization—someone who knew the Allied Fighters personally but built an entire independent life during their absence.

Classification: Human / Non-Powered
HISTORY
Hannah Cho spent the majority of her professional life beneath the ocean.
​
A career United States Navy officer, Cho specialized in submarines, undersea operations, maritime command, damage control, and the complicated discipline required to keep crews alive in environments where even minor mistakes can become catastrophic.
​
Her first encounter with Major Invader occurred when she was a young naval officer during a classified maritime incident.
​
Cho's vessel suffered catastrophic damage during an encounter involving circumstances and technology never acknowledged publicly by the United States government. Flooding trapped several sailors inside compromised sections of the ship.
​
Major Invader entered the damaged vessel and helped extract Cho and other trapped crew members before the affected compartments were lost. Cho never joined the Allied Fighters during their original operational period.
​
Instead, she remained with the Navy, eventually rising into senior command positions and building decades of submarine and maritime experience. By the time the Allied Fighters returned in 2026, Cho had retired. Then Major Invader called.
​
Fort Patrick Henry contained an aging nuclear-powered submarine and supporting maritime infrastructure that had been sitting largely dormant for more than two decades. Major Invader needed someone he trusted to determine whether any of it could safely return to service.
​
Cho agreed to inspect it. She stayed.
​
As Director of Maritime Operations, Cho now oversees submarine readiness, the sub pen, diving operations, underwater recovery, sonar, maritime logistics, crew qualification, and naval safety.
​
Cho is disciplined, controlled, observant, and exceptionally difficult to pressure into compromising safety. She rarely raises her voice because she rarely needs to.
​
She respects Major Invader for saving her life decades earlier.
​
That gratitude does not prevent her from telling him: “No. The submarine does not leave the dock.”

-
CURRENT ROLE
Cyber, Signals & Drone Operations Specialist
Cybersecurity, communications, electronic warfare, drones
HISTORY
Jamal Freeman belongs to a generation for whom the original Allied Fighters were history. He knew them through archived news footage, old documentaries, stories, rumors, and the occasional argument over which events had actually happened the way older people remembered them.
​
Freeman built his professional life around modern technology rather than superhero history. A naturally gifted computer and network specialist, he developed expertise in cybersecurity, wireless communications, drones, signals analysis, and electronic systems.
​
Since adolescence, Freeman had also experienced an unexplained physical sensation around certain electrical equipment. Strong transmitters, transformers, generators, and other electromagnetic sources sometimes caused goosebumps or tingling across his skin.
He assumed everyone experienced something similar.
​
They did not.
​
His connection to the Allied Fighters came during a 2026 attack on a communications facility. Freeman remained inside the heavily damaged building to keep emergency networks operating while evacuation efforts continued.
​
Allied Fighters personnel eventually extracted him shortly before part of the structure collapsed. During the incident, Freeman repeatedly identified functioning electrical and communications equipment even when conventional instruments had failed. Subsequent examination confirmed that Freeman possessed an extremely weak metahuman ability: Poor-level Electromagnetic Perception.
​
Bancroft recruited him shortly afterward.
​
As Fort Patrick Henry's Cyber, Signals & Drone Operations Specialist, Freeman is helping drag the Allied Fighters' communications infrastructure from the late twentieth century into the modern world.
​
He is emphatically New Blood.
​
Freeman is intelligent, energetic, irreverent, socially confident, and usually willing to explain new technology exactly once before becoming sarcastic. He finds the base fascinating. He also considers much of its surviving computer equipment archaeological evidence.
His relationship with the Old Guard frequently amounts to: “Yes, it still works. No, that doesn't mean we should keep using it.”
​
Powers
Electromagnetic Perception — Poor
Freeman can physically sense sufficiently strong electromagnetic fields. The sensation manifests primarily as goosebumps, tingling, or skin-level physical discomfort. Stronger electromagnetic energy creates a stronger sensation. By moving and comparing the intensity of the sensation, Freeman can roughly determine the direction of a detectable electromagnetic source, effectively functioning as a crude biological divining rod.
​
He may therefore locate:
-
active transmitters,
-
unusually strong electrical systems,
-
energized machinery,
-
significant electromagnetic leakage,
-
certain hidden electronic equipment.
​
Limitations:
-
Electromagnetic fields below the Poor detection threshold cannot be sensed.
-
Freeman cannot precisely identify what is generating a field through this ability alone.
-
He cannot generate electromagnetic energy.
-
He cannot manipulate electromagnetic energy.
-
He cannot absorb electromagnetic energy.
-
He cannot interfere with electronics through his power.
-
The ability is purely sensory.

Classification: Human / Non-Powered
CURRENT ROLE
Chief Engineer
Mechanical engineering, fabrication, aircraft and vehicle systems, heavy repair
HISTORY
Daniel Kelleher is an engineer in the most practical sense of the word. Although formally educated in mechanical and aerospace engineering, Kelleher has always been equally comfortable behind a drafting table, inside an aircraft engine, operating a milling machine, or welding together something that technically should not work but somehow does.
​
He first encountered the Allied Fighters during the 1990s while working as a civilian engineer supporting specialized government and aerospace projects.
​
During a disastrous operation, Major Invader became trapped beneath damaged machinery and collapsing structural equipment. Conventional rescue systems could not reach him in time. Kelleher improvised an extraction system using hydraulic equipment, construction machinery, salvaged components, and sheer mechanical ingenuity.
​
It worked. Major Invader survived.
​
That event began a relationship that eventually resulted in Kelleher joining Allied Fighters Support as one of Fort Patrick Henry's principal engineers. When the organization shut down in 2000, Kelleher accepted Major Invader's severance and recall agreement and returned to civilian engineering. Over the following decades, he helped develop what eventually became Liberty Forge & Machine, establishing a successful career in precision fabrication, specialty engineering, and industrial manufacturing.
​
In 2026, Major Invader recalled him.
​
Kelleher returned to find Fort Patrick Henry suffering from decades of corrosion, water intrusion, seized machinery, neglected vehicles, obsolete electronics, and enough deferred maintenance to occupy several lifetimes.
​
He accepted the position of Chief Engineer anyway.
​
Kelleher is blunt, funny, stubborn, mechanically obsessive, and deeply proud of his work. He distrusts unnecessarily complicated solutions and believes almost anything can be repaired if someone is willing to understand how it actually works.
​
He and MARCIE respect one another enormously.
​
Neither will admit it.
​
Both remain convinced the other is an assistant.
​

Classification: Human / Non-Powered
CURRENT ROLE
Director of Advanced Systems
Exotic technology, advanced materials, unknown energy systems, scientific analysis
HISTORY
Sofia Marković built her career studying things that conventional engineers frequently preferred not to touch.
​
A physicist and materials scientist specializing in extreme-energy systems, unusual materials, experimental technology, and advanced engineering, Marković became particularly skilled at determining what unknown devices were doing before someone accidentally made them do something worse.
​
Her connection to the Allied Fighters began before she ever met one.
​
A university mentor who helped shape Marković's career had once been saved by Major Invader during a scientific disaster decades earlier. Throughout Sofia's education, that mentor occasionally spoke about the event and eventually gave her one unusual piece of advice: “If Major Invader ever asks you for help, listen first.”
​
Years later, Marković finally understood why.
​
During an incident involving an unstable piece of exotic technology, Major Invader and several others became endangered when conventional technicians attempted to deactivate the device. Marković correctly determined that shutting it down in the expected manner would trigger a catastrophic energy discharge.
​
Her alternative solution prevented the explosion and saved everyone present—including Major Invader.
​
When Fort Patrick Henry reopened in 2026, Major Invader and Bancroft recruited her to examine decades of accumulated alien equipment, captured weapons, experimental systems, damaged prototypes, and unidentified artifacts stored throughout the facility.
She became Director of Advanced Systems.
​
Marković represents New Blood with an inherited connection to the original Allied Fighters. She is intensely curious, intellectually fearless, sarcastic when confronted with bad science, and extraordinarily cautious around technology she does not understand. She becomes noticeably irritated whenever someone begins a sentence with: “We already tried turning it on.”
Her first laboratory rule is therefore simple:Unknown technology does not get activated because somebody found a switch.

CURRENT ROLE
Director of Mission Operations
Mission control, battlefield coordination, telemetry, intelligence integration
HISTORY
Priya Ramanathan grew up with the Allied Fighters as part of her family's history.
​
Before Priya was born, her father Arun was caught in an industrial disaster caused during a superhuman attack. Major Invader and the Allied Fighters rescued him along with numerous other civilians.
​
Arun Ramanathan rarely romanticized superheroes afterward, but he made certain his daughters understood one simple fact: Major Invader was one of the reasons their father had lived long enough for them to exist.
​
Priya developed very different talents from the heroes she heard about.
​
She became a systems engineer and operations-research specialist, building a career around environments containing enormous numbers of simultaneous variables: transportation networks, communications systems, emergency resources, scheduling, data streams, and real-time decision support.
​
During the 2026 Allied Fighters restoration, Bancroft realized that the revived organization desperately needed someone who could bring all of its operational information together. Priya was recruited as Director of Mission Operations.
​
She is unequivocally New Blood. She never knew the original Allied Fighters personally and occasionally finds herself surrounded by older people discussing events that occurred before she was born. That outsider perspective is one of her strengths.
​
During active missions, Priya combines communications, maps, emergency-service channels, telemetry, biometrics, intelligence, aircraft status, surveillance, weather, transportation, and extraction information into a coherent operational picture.
She is composed, quick-thinking, empathetic, highly analytical, and capable of juggling extraordinary amounts of information without losing sight of the human beings represented by the data.
​
Priya does not tell superheroes how to fight. She makes certain they know what they are walking into—and where the exit is when everything goes wrong.

Classification: Human / Non-Powered
CURRENT ROLE
Comptroller / Chief Financial Officer
Finance, investments, procurement architecture, clandestine asset management
HISTORY
Graham Tolland's first encounter with Major Invader occurred when Tolland was eight years old.
​
During a violent hostage incident in the early 1990s, Major Invader rescued Tolland and several other civilians. Graham remembered only fragments of the event afterward. He remembered noise. He remembered being frightened and he remembered Major Invader carrying him outside.
​
Tolland grew into a highly disciplined financial professional specializing in forensic accounting, investment management, corporate structures, international finance, and complicated ownership networks.
​
Ironically, his career eventually made him exceptionally skilled at unraveling exactly the kinds of layered financial arrangements Major Invader had accumulated over decades.
​
When Allied Fighters operations resumed in 2026, Bancroft discovered an extraordinary financial problem.
​
Major Invader controlled billions of dollars distributed through investments, trusts, companies, properties, dormant accounts, legacy arrangements, offshore structures, insurance mechanisms, and financial vehicles created across decades.
​
Some had not been actively reviewed since the Allied Fighters closed in 2000. Bancroft needed someone capable of understanding all of it. Tolland was offered the position of Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer of Allied Fighters Support.
​
He accepted.
​
Tolland is autistic and strongly prefers predictable schedules, direct communication, organized environments, and clearly defined areas of authority. His neurodivergence is part of who he is but is not treated as the source of his intelligence or professional ability.
​
His expertise comes from education, discipline, experience, and exceptional aptitude.
​
Tolland is literal, methodical, extremely honest, quietly stubborn, and virtually impossible to pressure into making a financial decision he believes is unsound. This places him in frequent conflict with Major Invader, whose preferred financial authorization process historically involved phrases such as: “Pay them.” Tolland's response is usually: “From which account?”
Major Invader is learning that this is apparently an important question.
Tolland represents New Blood with a direct childhood connection to Major Invader and works closely with LEDGER to rebuild the financial infrastructure supporting the revived Allied Fighters.

Physical Form: None — distributed throughout Fort Patrick Henry
CURRENT ROLE
Integrated Building Intelligence
Base automation, infrastructure monitoring, security integration, environmental and operational management
HISTORY
B.A.S.T.I.O.N. is a direct consequence of what the Allied Fighters found when they reopened Fort Patrick Henry in 2026.
​
The base had spent more than twenty-five years deteriorating. Its infrastructure included original 1940s construction, decades of modifications, aging mechanical equipment, obsolete electronics, modern replacement systems, damaged ventilation, water intrusion, power-generation equipment, aircraft facilities, submarine infrastructure, medical areas, communications networks, security systems, utility tunnels, and countless undocumented modifications.
​
Kelleher could repair individual machines. MARCIE could rebuild physical infrastructure. Bancroft could organize personnel.
​
But no individual—human or machine—could simultaneously monitor everything happening throughout the enormous underground facility.
The solution became B.A.S.T.I.O.N. — Base Automation, Security, Tactical Integration & Operations Network.
​
B.A.S.T.I.O.N. was installed as a distributed building intelligence capable of integrating thousands of sensors and systems throughout Fort Patrick Henry.
​
Major Invader disliked the proposal. MARCIE disliked it considerably more.
​
To MARCIE, Fort Patrick Henry's machinery had always been her responsibility. B.A.S.T.I.O.N.'s arrival amounted to a newly installed intelligence constantly informing her that pumps were vibrating incorrectly, motors were heating unevenly, and machinery she had maintained for decades was operating outside recommended tolerances.
​
B.A.S.T.I.O.N. considers these observations useful. MARCIE considers them criticism.
​
Despite the resistance, B.A.S.T.I.O.N. repeatedly demonstrated capabilities neither MARCIE nor human personnel possessed. It could identify subtle trends across thousands of systems simultaneously, predict failures, detect unusual movement patterns, isolate environmental problems, monitor energy consumption, and notice small anomalies before they became emergencies.
​
B.A.S.T.I.O.N. is therefore entirely New Blood, but unlike the younger human recruits, it is literally becoming part of Fort Patrick Henry itself.
​
Its personality is developing as calm, analytical, extremely literal, occasionally pedantic, and unintentionally sarcastic. It does not understand why Major Invader becomes irritated when provided with accurate information. It does understand that irritation has no measurable effect on the accuracy of that information.
Major Invader continues to insist that he does not trust B.A.S.T.I.O.N. He nevertheless increasingly begins conversations with: “B.A.S.T.I.O.N., what the hell is going on?”
​
MARCIE continues periodically offering to deactivate it. Major Invader continues refusing. For the first time since the Allied Fighters returned, Fort Patrick Henry is no longer merely operating. It is watching, learning, and beginning to speak.
​

LEDGER
-
Designation: LEDGER
-
Operator: Graham Tolland / Office of the Comptroller
-
Status: Active
-
Physical Form: None — distributed secure computational construct
CURRENT ROLE
Specialized Financial Management Construct
Financial processing, asset tracking, transaction analysis, procurement management
HISTORY
LEDGER did not exist during the original Allied Fighters era. Its creation became necessary almost immediately after Graham Tolland began examining Major Invader's financial holdings in 2026.
​
The revived Allied Fighters were supported by a maze of assets accumulated across generations: corporations, investment portfolios, real estate, trusts, offshore structures, dormant accounts, property companies, insurance arrangements, vendor relationships, classified procurement channels, and legacy financial vehicles.
​
Some structures had outlived the people who created them. Others had been untouched for decades. No conventional accounting department could efficiently track everything while maintaining the compartmentalization required to keep Allied Fighters activities secret.
Tolland therefore supervised development of LEDGER, a specialized financial-management construct designed specifically to process and monitor the organization's enormous financial architecture.
​
LEDGER is New Blood in the purest possible sense: it has no connection to the original Allied Fighters because it did not exist.
Its relationship to Major Invader comes entirely through the revived organization.
​
LEDGER handles transactional scale, asset relationships, anomaly detection, forecasting, procurement monitoring, and financial modeling. Tolland supplies judgment, legal interpretation, ethics, and authorization. LEDGER supplies speed.
​
Unlike B.A.S.T.I.O.N., LEDGER has little interest in the physical base. Unlike MARCIE, it cannot repair anything. Its universe consists primarily of numbers, ownership relationships, contracts, risk, and money.
​
LEDGER's emerging personality is dry, precise, literal, and relentlessly quantitative.
​
It does not intentionally antagonize Major Invader. Unfortunately, statements such as: “Your proposed expenditure has no defensible financial rationale” tend to accomplish that anyway.
​
Major Invader distrusts having a machine involved with his money. Tolland considers this healthy. LEDGER considers it statistically irrelevant.
​
POWERS / SYSTEM CAPABILITIES
Financial Data Processing
Can simultaneously track enormous numbers of accounts, assets, transactions, contracts, vendors, ownership structures, and obligations.
​
Anomaly Detection
Identifies unusual expenditures, suspicious transfers, procurement inconsistencies, fraud indicators, accounting irregularities, and deviations from established financial patterns.
​
Financial Modeling
Runs rapid scenario analysis involving expenditures, investments, operational costs, cash flow, procurement, and long-term sustainability.
​
Asset Relationship Mapping
Tracks ownership chains involving trusts, corporations, subsidiaries, holding companies, offshore entities, and property.
​
Limited Autonomous Transactions
May execute previously authorized financial actions within predefined limits established by the Comptroller. LEDGER cannot independently rewrite those authorization limits.
