Aminatu Akinyemi
Introduction

Image: A circle done in green-on-black, in the very center is a bird's foot, splayed like talons about to close around something. Around the top of the circle is written, "THIRD ECHELON", and around the bottom are five stars.
The Splinter Cell Program is a black-ops project and training program created by Third Echelon, a top secret initiative of the National Security Agency. It's also an operational unit composed of field operatives, code-named "Splinter Cells". The program produces and deploys units of highly-trained forward operators as the ultimate intelligence gathering force, with the support of a cutting edge technological team to retrieve information through traditional espionage techniques, but with Twenty-First century technology.
Shamelessly r̶i̶p̶p̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ inspired by Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell with some physical pen-testing thrown in, Aminatu is a highly decorated Marine MRR and former CIA paramilitary ops/clandestine officer, as well as a member of Third Echelon, a top-secret initiative within the National Security Agency, where she carries out black bag operations as a field operative of the initiative's "Splinter Cell" program. That program is composed of lone field operatives, code-named "Splinter Cells", units of highly-trained forward operators as the ultimate intelligence gathering force, with the support of a cutting edge technological team to retrieve information through traditional espionage techniques, but with Twenty-First century technology.
In short, Aminatu goes where others can't, to get information other's can't, with no one knowing she was ever there. Her missions will never be public knowledge, and she can't ever talk about them. She lives in a world few know even exist, and if she does her job well enough it will stay that way.
