REAL NAME: David Lambeth Yow
OCCUPATION: DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) Field Agent, Rogue Delta Green Agent
EDUCATION: U.S. Army Special Forces Training
SPECIALTIES: Linguistics and Subversion
BACKGROUND: Yow is average in every way that it is possible to be average. Appearance, I.Q., aptitudes, he seemed to be born with an innate talent for slipping through cracks, passing unnoticed and generally being ignored. His middle of the road, middle class Nevada family had no special aspirations for their third son, and he tried his best not to disappoint them.
Aside from being a all-round asshole, his one noticeable talent, an affinity for languages, brought him to the attention of the army during his enlistment. They discovered Yow’s true genius, an ability to blend.
During training it was obvious, David Yow had an almost uncanny ability to pass himself off as whatever it would take to get by in any social situation, not necessarily get noticed, or excel, just…pass. The languages he learned he would gain a passing fluency within a short space of time, his knack for social customs was almost uncanny. With time he became a stellar field operative for the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) and the the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation).
What went unnoticed in all the testing and examination was Yow’s almost complete lack of drive. His superiors saw this subsumation of will a good thing, not recognizing the extreme mental disorder that it actually represented. During a mission in Bosnia the DIA agent came to the attention of the now defunct Delta Green (Outlaws).
This proved to be disastrous to David Yow and a source of potential ruin to Delta Green.
Agent Yow was sent to the region to infiltrate a remote group slated for ‘cleansing’ by the powers that be. His mission was to convince the group to relocate, but he soon had a change of heart.
The reclusive citizens of the village proved to be something else indeed. Yow witnessed human sacrifice and hideous rites during his brief time there. With a flawless mastery of local diction and a hacked connection to local military channels he called in a shelling that left the village in ruins.
DIA censure came down hard and fast but through string pulling, he was able to protect himself and be put to use elsewhere in the FBI.
They sent Yow to a Wyoming safe house and put him to work translating some of the texts he brought back with him from the village.
This proved to be the undoing of the agent. The writings, a sort of ‘hymnal’ to Nyarlathotep, opened Yow’s mind to the influence of the Outer God. He was driven mad, but his madness, like the man, took on a quiet appearance. He turned over his work and did a few more projects for the organization, slowly collecting as much information about former agency "Delta Green" as he could.
He has since gone to ground. It is rumoured that he has collected a few other operatives to help him and has formed a small force aimed specifically at stopping or hindering Federal operations and unnatural incursions.
