Archon Industries
From Left to Right: Trevin, Ava Mannheim, Ana rchy's Aim
A black ops group operating in and around the Rogue Isles Archon X is financed, secretly, by Ava Mannheim and her company Archon Industries. Archon X was originally led by Ava, who has now retired from field work and leaving day to day leadership to Mada Zarifa.
History
In the beginning Archon X was tenatively funded by extra funds from the day to day operations of Ava's first company Archon and secretly by Paul Grant, the first director of S.C.O.R.P.I.O. and CEO for the Arinard Corporation. Shortly after her initial run in with Annette Borisov, Paul Grant approached Ava with the idea for the team working directly in the isles. He recognized the need for more cohesive support for black operations in the isles.
The initial group was a success, operatives were selectively recruited, or hired and Archon X completed many high profile operations directly under the nose of Lord Recluse. This unfortunately included the arrest of Trevin during an investigation into the disappearance of the Liberty Bowman. During this time Ava also found herself more and more entrenched in the day to day operations of her company with less and less time for field work. It would be the disappearance of Paul Grant and the successful move by Archon to complete a hostile takeover of several large portions of the now piecemeal Arinad Corporation.
Archon became Archon Industries within a matter of months, and Ava found herelf placing Mada Zarifa in charge of day to day operations for the black ops group. Through her connections with Paul Grant and her companies take over of the Arinad Corporation, Archon Industries provides research and development work to SCORPIO with bio-engineering, genetics, and specifics weapons development for S.C.O.R.P.I.O.. And Archon X Operations work covertly with Scorpio agents in and around the Isles as needed.

Black Operations
Modus Operandi
- Never think of your mark as the victim of dirty tricks. Think of him as a very deserving target. Show no mercy.
- Prepare a plan before taking any actions. Do not ad-lib anything. Know exactly what you are going to do and how. Plan what to do if caught--depending on who catches you. Plan every single option, contingency, action, reaction, and evaluation.
- Gather intelligence. Compile a file on your mark. Before spying, make a list of all of the important things you will need to know about the target.
- Buy supplies in multiple places. Buy in advance. Pay with hard currency, not credit. Try to blend in and become part of the background. Do not talk unnecessarily with people. (The idea is for people not to remember you.)
- Never tip your hand. Do not get "cocky, cute, & clever" and start dropping hints about who is doing what to whom. Do not get gabby.
- Never admit anything. If accused, act shocked, hurt, outraged, or amused. Deny everything. Failure and compromise is not an option.
