=• Note on family background •= The subject was born and raised in London's Chinatown to an expat Taiwanese mother and a Chinese / Korean father. There is some confusion surrounding personal documents from this time. Official records are compromised or missing. What is known is collected from auxiliary sources such as school records, census surveys and electronic surveillance. We have a detail working to find the names of the subject's parents. He does not seem to have any living relatives whith whom he is in contact.

=• Blue Dragon Import: The beginning •= Blue Dragon Import was apparently founded by the subject's father, though some circumstances indicate that a business of the same or similar designation has been owned and / or operated by the family even earlier. Under the father's management the company operated a small storefront in London's Chinatown. It seemed to focus mainly on importing foodstuffs and other small comforts from south-east Asia.

Some travel records that have not been deleted or corrupted seem to indicate that the subject was invited to travel with his father on acquisition trips to many parts of Asia, starting in early adolescence. This would explain his apparent familiarity with language and society in that part of the world.

=• Social network •= Our experts on social norms and traditions in south-east Asia and among Asian immigrants in the UK have reviewed the material available on the subject's upbringing. According to them it is very likely that the differing ethnic backgrounds of his parents, combined with the extensive travel he seems to have been involved in at an early age has left him with a very superficial connection to the cultures and communities around him. He is in a sense a universal alien, not at home in either the british social structure or in any of the Asian communities. In some societies, such as that of Korea, social conventions can be very complex and as such quite difficult to assimilate if one is not immersed in them at an early age. This may leave the subject with the experience of being an outsider in every environment, and can cause a certain level of dissociation.

=• Death of parents •= The subject's mother was reported killed in the early 2000:s. Fragments of a police report our information retrieval section managed to assemble suggests that she was killed in a robbery in the store front of Blue Dragon Import. No information remains concerning possible perpetrators. Intelligence assembled from a variety of sources indicates that the subject's father allowed the financial standing of the company to lapse soon after the death of his spouse. Our psychological profile suggests that it was caused by grief. Only a few years later the father also dies. The post-mortem records show that he died from a sudden onset of food poisoning.

=• Blue Dragon Import: The present •= The subject is now the owner and proprietor of Blue Dragon Import. The storefront is closed, and the premises are now occupied by a small restaurant specialized in Korean food. No other connection to the subject has been detected. He rents a small space in a warehouse in London, but although our operatives have searched it several times no unusual activity has been found. The subject travels frequently between Europe and south-east Asia, negotiating small import deals and sometimes even overseeing the transport of certain cargo personally. The goods are mostly legitimate, but our sources indicate that the subject also engages in smuggling of various contraband. Nothing that falls under heavy legislation such as drugs or weapons, but rather artefacts, stolen goods and pirated media. Our operational parameters have not extended to procuring substantial evidence for the traffic of contraband, but we are confident that we could do so if needed.

=• Skills and abilities •= The subject is noted to have studied an assortment of martial arts since childhood. While he has not excelled in any one form, the range and versatility of his skills have shown him to be a dangerous opponent when our operatives have been able to induce altercations. There are indications of enhanced anima abilities, but these seem not to be under his complete conscious control. At this point our field operatives have observed unusual phenomena, what may best be described as "bad luck" were it not for a certain statistical discrepance, to occur whenever the subject is under threat. It also seems as if some of his hand to hand combat techniques are augmented by Anima, most likely in the shape of Chaos. Further investigation is scheduled.

=• The Dragon •= The question "Why are the Dragon interested in the subject" was posed to our investigating operatives. This is of course nearly impossible to know, and any answer must be speculative. That said, it is very plausible that the chaotic nature of his background and upbringing, coupled with his ability to blend in but not become attatched has brought him to their attention. That he has a very broad skillset that potentially makes him a highly adaptive field operative is highly likely to have influenced their interest as well. Knowing the Dragon, however, they may simply have chosen him at random.
