Cadence Malloy is the former Iota of the 3rd Generation of the Order.
Early Life
Cadence Malloy lived a charmed existence. She descended from an upper-middle class family in the Arlington, Virginia area. Her father was a program manager for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) within the United States federal government. Her mother was an elementary school teacher for one of the most prestigious charter schools in the state. Cadence had always been friendly, bright, out-going, and well-liked among her peers. In both middle and high school, she was a competitive cheerleader and gymnast and had once been scouted for a gymnastics scholarship. She'd enjoyed the best life had to offer, including a very large social circle.
One evening, while she was out with her friends, she'd been involved in a severe car head-on collision with another vehicle that resulted in the death of the driver and another passenger and critically wounded the driver of the other vehicle. The survivors were treated at a Consortium hospital in Washington, DC, and each other them -- Cadence included -- had taken the compatibility test prior to receiving treatment. Cadence was a very strong match and was approached a few weeks later by Consortium recruiters who seemed very interested in having her and her family attend an information seminar hosted by the Consortium. Her father was initially opposed, but was later swayed by both his wife and Cadence after the medical care she had received after the car accident. Additionally, she'd still felt guilty about the driver in her vehicle even though the collision was purely accidental.
As an Initiate
Cadence was an exceptional Initiate, even by Consortium standards. She excelled in weapons training, specifically small-bladed weapons. Although she was considered "proficient" in large-bladed weapons, her small stature made larger weapons difficult for her to handle. She was considered below average in firearms and instead opted for small throwing blades as her sidearm, which was uncommon but not all together unusual.
Academically, she was average. She had a tendency to perform better in practical academic disciplines, such as problem solving and critical thinking, but had a tendency toward reduced effort in subjects such as history, social sciences, and fine arts. She performed well in training assignments and was considered superior in small group tactics and strategic planning. Aligned with her problem solving and critical thinking skills, she was adept at finding solutions to problems as soon as they were presented.
At age 20 she was inducted into the Order, primarily due to her ability to lead squads and for her affinity in bladed weapons.
As Part of the Order
Cassius is the current Omicron of the Order. He was previously the Nu, but was demoted to Omicron after Annaliese Kessler was dispatched by Pavel Dushenko, Mia Renner, Bridger Brooks, Aras Devirm, and Octavia Maddox. Cassius typically does not engage in field assignments, however when he does they are almost always due to the need for a forensic investigator. On multiple occasions Cassius has been assigned as an investigator for internal Order matters, particularly when Handlers or the Sapientia request an inquiry into an assignment's outcome based on inconsistencies or inaccuracies in an Agent's mission reports or debriefs. To this end, he is typically not well-liked and is often the subject of ridicule. This has been amplified in the wake of his demotion.
Cassius' current Handler is Mercer Lord. His previous Handler had been promoted, during which Mercer requested a transfer from Bridger.
Physical Appearance
Cassius Stolarz has a lean but muscular build and stands just shy of six feet tall. He has blonde hair and has hyperpigmented eyes. His left eye also suffers from incomplete heterochromia due to his congential birth defects and subsequent treatments. On assignments, he wears the standard Order uniform, which is a white/silver body-armor type uniform with gold accents on it. His blond hair is typically pushed up and out of his face. Outside of assignment, he is always clean-shaven and typically dresses in dress slacks and pressed oxfords. He retains his English accent, though it's now peppered with hints of Italian due to his time as an Initiate in Rome. He generally wears no expression on his face and is often said to look as if, "[he] has undergone a profound sadness from which he will never recover."
Powers and Skills
Cassius is an inducted member of the Order and has received the final injection of Compound 36 to make the abilities it grants permanent.
As such, he has the normal complement of abilities granted by the compound:
- Enhanced strength - Enhanced speed - Enhanced stamina - Enhanced durability - Enhanced senses - Enhanced healing factor (including resistance to disease) - Enhanced agility - Resistance to aging
Like all members of the Order, he can further activate the inert Compound 36 in his body to augment the aforementioned abilities even further. There is great risk involved in doing so, as pushing beyond an acceptable limit aggravates any side-effects of the Compound and can also lead to uncontrollable rage and an inability to form rational thought, relying purely on instinct and survival. Once this occurs, there is no treatment and the Order labels the individual an Aberration that is subsequently hunted and killed.
Other Information
His eyes continue to be the subject of much debate from Consortium scientists, as there is no scientific reason why the effects occurred as they did.
As an Initiate, Cassius became very close with Parish Kent and considers him to be the equivalent of family. Cassius assisted with the stability tests for both Parish and Octavia Maddox.
Cassius is fluent in English, Italian, and Latin.
