Chios Syndicate Personel Dossier:
TOP SECRET
Subject:Yetzirah "Penumbra Directive"
In the year 180, the Yetzirah Defense Initiative undertook a top secret program, entitledd the "Penumbra Directive".
Yetzirah High Command found the need, in order to keep peace more quietly, to create what they believed to be a more efficiant, and trustworthy assassin, or "aggressive diplomat" as they referred to the operative. Eugenics was tried, and discarded initially, because the subjects were too unpredictable, and difficult to control. Finally it was decided that a fully programmed infiltration robotic operative would be the best choice, and they began searching for researchers in that field. They hit upon one such researcher who was considered by his peers, to be far too radical, and lacking in personel ethics to be taken seriously. This was just the sort of man the Yetzirah wanted.
SUBJECT: John G. Jeryk
Most information on Jeryk has been lost due to warfare, and chaos in the years before the UCE was formed. Information on subject S.H.A.D.O.W.-X1 is unclear, but it is known he was developed by Jeryk and a team on Yetzirah during their struggle to remain independent. Jeryk is characterized as a visionary inventor, and scientist, with radical ideas. Rumor and speculation have implied that he was able through some unknown means to fashion a metal alloy that was virtually indestructable by any known conventional means. Partial data records refer to a generic "Hard Alloy" and it's properties, but specifically not it's formulaic content. It is as yet unknown who, if anyone besides Jeryk knew the exact formula, or process through which this "Hard Alloy" could be constructed, and all attempts to study it in the endsoskeleton of the X1 unit have failed. Jeryk's whereabouts, and status are unknown, officially he is assumed "lost in space" and "killed in action". No further information is available.
SUBJECT: S.H.A.D.O.W.-X1 (Sentient. Hard. Alloy. Defensive. Offensive. Weapon. prototype 1 (X1)
This equipment was created by John G. Jeryk and his research team. It as given a primitive AI, and some more sophisticated technologies. Some of the technologies grew so much more sophisticated as time went on, due to refining and tinkering by Dr. Jeryk that the unit became virtually undetectable, and unstoppable during it's course of active duty for the Yetzirah intelligence command.
What was known of it was that it was indestructable physically, or nearly so. Theories, and conjecture state that the chassis of the unit would have been able to withstand damage that could, and would destroy mosts star cruiser hulls. X1 was also known to claim that he was completely hardened against EMP attacks, and immune to wireless interface to his CPU without him allowing access to such.
At some point during his last mission following his last debrief, Dr. Jeryk, and the X1 unit were en route to Yetzirah, when the ship was attacked, and destroyed. All hands were lost, and it was assumed Dr. Jeryk perished, and the X1 unit were permenantly lost to the depths of space. Intelligence however now believes the X1 unit was actually captured, and reprogrammed by Earth operatives, and was used in a few clandestine operations before Earth high command decided the X1 unit was too dangerous to keep in active service. Record of his existance was "lost" and he was placed in cryostorage for the next 40 years, as his systems, and defenses were simply too advanced for Earth's intelligence and science researchers to crack through for reverse engineering. "Operation Vulture" was shut down and forgotten about, until about 2 years ago (circa 233) when Chios intelligence operatives came across the X1 unit, and a few data chips concerning him in an old Earth government warehouse that had been repatrioted by the UCE.
SUBJECT: S.H.A.D.O.W.-X1 (sub heading: X1 and Chios)
Chios intelligence operatives seeing the potential for strengthening the Chios syndicate via use of the X1 unit managed to quietly steal the unit from the warehouse where it had been in storage. Officially the X1 unit has been misplaced, and forgotten by the UCE.
Chios spent the next year studying the unit's cybernetic programming, and capabilities. Chios council was able to access it's core programming. Any information they extracted, or implanted is top secret, and known only to CMC High Command, and Chios Council.
Following conclusion of their studies, Chios offloaded the X1 unit on Space Colony Necrono VI, and one of their operatives activated it. Immediately it began learning, and adapting to it's new setting. When it was activated with no primary function defined, it believed it had been permenantly decommissioned as "junk" by the UCE which it mistakenly believed was it's creator.
Over time it was able to access some locked datafiles and "repair" what it believed to be damage to it's cybernetic matrix, learning of Jeryk and it's creation but still mistakenly believing it was Earth, not the Yetzirah who created it. Also knowing it's own capabilities it chose, purely on it's own accord to apply to, and join the Chios Military Corps, where it has served with distinction, climbing the ranks now to High Command.
The X1 unit is now High Commander of the CMC team based on Necronom VI and is ranked Lt. Colonel.
UPDATE: S.H.A.D.O.W.-X1 unit damaged, and irreperable.
The X1 unit recently discovered a breakdown in it's molecular structure on it's "Hard Alloy" endoskeleton which was causing a massive system failure. In an emergency decision, X1 himself called upon former CMC technician, now civilian crew member Kiyumi Mayako to construct a new endoskeleton and transer his entire cybermatrix into it. Such was done, and the new chassis was made of an unknown material created on Mars Colony. Other upgrades were made to his cybermatrix the level of those upgrades has yet to be fully measured.
Currently what is known is that his endoskeleton, which is no longer indestructable, is still made of very dense material known only as "Shadow-Crimson". It is able to withstand hits of small arms fire and even anti-tank/hull weapons without being competely damaged, it however will suffer dents before reforming itself. It is also believed nanite technology was added to repair breaches to his endoskeletal shell when and if they occurr.
As he is no longer the same unit technically, X1 himself has adopted a new designation: SC-X2, or "Shadow-Crimson model 2"
Here ends all current knowledge of this individual.
