Chapter Text

 

“Silent Death can be reached… if you know where to look.”

Compiled by: Multi-Agency Behavioral Intelligence Unit (Declassified / Public-Facing Portion)
Subject: Mark Griffin (マーク・グリフィン)
Codename: Silent Death
Assessment Level: Confidential / Public-Facing Analysis


Site Overview

  • The website is hosted on a deep web node with multiple redirects and access checks.

  • Plain black background with subtle grey text, no images or logos.

  • Landing page header reads:

“Precision requires patience. Only those who understand both should proceed.”

  • Minimalist navigation menu:

    • Information

    • Inquiry Form

    • Terms of Engagement

  • Agents confirmed the site does not allow direct indexing or search visibility, requiring:

    • Specific access links distributed discreetly in private forums

    • Correct answers to verification prompts (logic puzzles, timed code entry)

  • Multiple visits were logged to ensure consistent structure and verify contact information rotation.


Information Displayed – Exact Text

Biography Section:

“Codename: Silent Death. Operative available for discreet freelance assignments. Neutral stance maintained across organizations. Professionalism, precision, and discretion guaranteed. Minimal footprint ensured in all engagements. History and identity largely classified; verified clients only.”

Skillset / Capabilities Section:

*“Specializes in:

  • Observation and intelligence gathering

  • Targeted elimination with minimal collateral

  • Stealth operations, infiltration, and exfiltration

  • Asset recovery or disruption missions

  • Strategic planning, timing, and execution
    Shadows may be employed to supplement operations; exact nature and limits classified.”*

Observation: Agents noted that although “Shadows may be employed” is vague, the wording mirrors Mark’s own dry, cryptic style: informative without revealing actual Ability mechanics.


Preliminary Inquiry Form – Visible Text

  • Purpose: “This form is a preliminary filter. Completion does not guarantee engagement.”

Fields displayed:

  1. Request Type: Observation / Elimination / Recovery / Other (dropdown)

  2. Target Description: “Provide basic identifying information. Classified details are withheld until verification.”

  3. Timeline Expectation: “Approximate dates preferred.”

  4. Resources / Compensation: “Demonstrate capability to meet operational terms.”

  5. Additional Notes: Optional free text

  • Submission triggers temporary verification steps: encrypted email address, disposable phone number, and one-time access code for direct communication.

  • Agents confirmed that the disposable phone line changes daily, and email addresses rotate weekly. Attempts to reuse old credentials result in automatic rejection.


Contact Information – As Found on Site

Text displayed on “Contact Methods” page:

“Direct inquiries are accepted only via temporary credentials.
Email: [one-time, generated, encrypted]
Phone: [disposable line, active for 24 hours]
Provide preliminary form details first. Verification required. Incomplete or unverified submissions will not be addressed.”

  • Agents noted that the site intentionally obfuscates information with multiple redirects and code-protected pages.

  • Each test of the site over a week confirmed that links and credentials rotate daily, likely to prevent tracking or abuse.


Agent Commentary

  • The public portal is not designed to advertise. Its purpose is security filtering and preliminary screening.

  • Verified multiple times, the page layout and wording remain consistent; contact methods rotate, but the form structure and skillset descriptions are stable.

  • Agents note:

“The portal itself serves as a test of patience, discretion, and competence. Only those who can navigate its layers and provide coherent preliminary details will reach actual engagement channels. Even what is publicly accessible conveys Mark’s meticulous style: concise, cryptic, and intimidating.”
