Biography
Agent Powell is one of the more unusual and eccentric handlers in Delta Green's extensive network, and many operatives find his presence both unsettling and oddly captivating. Known for his ever-present trenchcoat and fedora, Powell carries an aura of old-school detective work, mixed with a strange, giddy enthusiasm that seems entirely out of place in the grim and often nightmarish world of Delta Green. He has a habit of smiling often, his face betraying a lightheartedness that contradicts the gravity of the missions he assigns. To some, it’s charming. To others, it’s disconcerting.
In conversation, Powell has a unique cadence—his tone is almost playful, as though life is some kind of grand game or joke that only he understands. He speaks in riddles and half-truths, yet somehow always manages to convey the critical information needed to accomplish the task at hand. Though his demeanor might suggest aloofness, Powell is sharp, quick-witted, and far more perceptive than he lets on. He often addresses agents by name before they've introduced themselves, further adding to the mystery of his background.
Powell's history is as cryptic as the man himself. There are no concrete records of his early life in Delta Green’s files. Rumor has it that Powell cut his teeth working for the FBI, specializing in organized crime and counterintelligence during the Cold War. Some say he infiltrated multiple mafia families in New York, playing both sides in a way that gained him deep intelligence but put him at great personal risk. However, those records are spotty at best, and Delta Green’s own documentation on him only appears to start in the mid-90s, when he was suddenly brought into the organization with little fanfare.
