primatechpaper.com has an Assignment Tracker profile on Julien (password JDsiy88p). His personal history reads:
Julien Dumont was born in Brussels, Belgium. He was first apprehended by Agent Spektor in Bruges, Belgium, where Dumont was operating a petty crime ring spanning three countries. Local law enforcement officials had made numerous attempts to arrest Dumont but were frustrated repeatedly by his incontrovertible alibis, some of which were even supplied by police who had Dumont under surveillance while he allegedly committed a crime hundreds of miles away. Unknown to the authorities, Dumont was being assisted by a number of identical clones, whom he possesses the ability to replicate at will.
Dumont's offshoots develop rapidly and are biologically identical to the Root Dumont by full growth. Mature clones exhibit a degree of independent thought and personality, and The Company has successfully deployed replicants for a wide variety of field work. However, the offshoots also share a hive-like collective mind, in which the Root Dumont appears to play a centric role. Preliminary experiments suggest that if the Root Dumont experienced termination, all of the offshoots would expire instantly. As a precaution, the Root Dumont is precluded from most field duty assignments. [Sentence Omitted: Classified]
[Paragraph Omitted: Classified]
A number of the offshoot agents have dropped off the grid and been marked for termination. Their status is currently in transition. [Sentences Omitted: Classified]
The case file also includes a psychological profile:
The Root Dumont's ability puts him at high risk of dissociative identity disorder. The Company has implemented rigorous psychological supervision, as well as chemical and psychoanalytic intervention as necessary.
When the Root Dumont is in a weakened or otherwise altered state, the personalities of mature offshoots become more dominant. New offshoots created during such a period experience high degrees of psychological and emotional vulnerability and are susceptible to coercion or imprinting. Initial studies indicate that immature offshoots are highly receptive to programming for Company directives.
Evolved Human Abilities
Julien has the ability to vegetatively clone himself, producing identical clones. Dumont appears to generate replicants through cellular mitosis, similar to a fungi. Clones can be injured -- even fatally -- without causing physical harm to the Root Dumont.
According to his Assignment tracker file at primatechpaper.com, Julien's control index is 90%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 95, cerebral at 50, elemental at 80, and temporal/spatial at 30.
