History
Agency 15 was created during WWII to address the need for intelligence gathering and covert operations that had to remain out public knowledge and could not be tied back to the USA. As such 15 was created as a top secret addition to the new Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The first members of Agency 15 were hand selected and borrowed from various US agencies at the time including the military. Agents of 15 remained in their normal positions unless needed for specific operations. They would then be sent on an assignment to allow them to leave for the duration of the 15 operation.
Its safe the say that 15 has been involved in all major wars and conflicts to some extent. However even being a deniable agency, they are often reigned in by politics and US policy.

- Off duty life: Since work with 15 is not their primary career and an agent can go period without 15 work, they tend to have normal, stable family lives as would be associated with their career area.
- Demeanor: Its important to note that because 15 agents tend to have family and something to go home to, they tend to have a drive to live/survive. But their personality can and does often run the gambit.
