Martin Sideon was formerly a shoemaker - a street term for someone specializing in forging identities and papers for illegal citizens. His matrix abilities and augmentations lend him abilities far beyond that you would expect of an 17 year old. After he uncovered black op files concerning his parents' corporation, their decision was made to neutralize any possible information leakage. He is also possessed of some skills in combat, as their first hit squad discovered, but was reportedly killed. Their ops team was forced to withdraw before Docwagon arrived, who managed to successfully revive him and turn him over to us. Since discovering our very lucrative benefits package, he has been working for us very successfully.

Martin Sideon is a UCAS citizen and goes by Juan DeColvez in Denver for security reasons. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Tailor in the Seattle General Hospital east wing in 2043. His father works in the Information Services department of Macromedia, an Ares subsidiary, and his mother worked Technical Support. They met five years before his birth on the job, became married, and had his sister, Jennifer, two years later. His mother died in 2055 when her car's Gridguide transponder failed and she was was struck by a city computer-controlled bus.

He attended the company elementary school in in the suburbs. Some of his teachers noted an unusual aptness with the computer network at the time, but it wasn't a system audit was done a few years later that evidence of tampering with his grades was detected. They had been altered, and in such a way that the alterations showed a standard level of randomness, with increased aptitude in math skills. On further investigation with the teachers, it was discovered that spent much of his time browsing the computer systems, and should have had far lower grades. His high school documentation is likewise unremarkable and uneventful. Although alterations were picked up in these files as well, they were more subtle and less extensive, mostly involved with him completely skipping out on gym. Apparently he chose to actually do well in most his classes, as opposed to chancing discovery. His computer ability and good judgement was likewise noted here, and he chose many of the classes offered in that area. He steered away from server side operations and IC programming, focusing instead on Oblong assembly language and cyberterminal system design.

Though the exact date is indeterminate, we have determined that it was some time early during this period that he made contact with the Matrix group known as the 7even Deadly Sinz, a known front for the Deus AI. Archives detailing his membership in the group show that he was first admitted grudgingly when he defeated all of them in an underground 'Core Wars' tournament. Further interviews with the high school teachers show that he missed a great deal of classes in his sophmore year, but his school records show no such indications, barring one or two sick days where there were corresponding, unaltered medical records.

It was during the --DELETED FOR SECURITY REASONS-- that he made a problem of himself. The corporation discovered several subsystems infected with a particularly insiduous dataworm that bears code markings similiar to other authored by the 7even. It made a note of passcodes used by users it infected, and sent them to an anonymous matrix dropbox. In this fashion, several of their primary hosts were infiltrated by the 7even Sinz. However, he got ahold of a super-user passcode for their --DELETED FOR SECURITY REASONS-- database. A system conflict alerted them to the compromised passcode while he was in the process of downloading a classified file. Their security deckers managed to trace his link through to his apartment, and a black ops team was scrambled to intercept. In the firefight that ensued when they caught him to his apartment, two of the blacks ops team went down heavily injured, but Martin was taken down.

Because the team was advised that a Docwagon LAV was on course at high speeds. He was reported DOA at Seattle General Hospital. Positive ID could not be made at that time because a system crash 'coincidentally' erased all the database references between body tags in the computers later that evening. However, the (bribed by our people) AV pilot interviewed by the corporation later confirmed the ID of the pickup he made.

After investigating company records, it was discovered that several fake 'employees' were created and staffed on their payroll. They even discovered that access was gained by Martin to some of their facilities during the summer under the guise of these employees coming in to work, as several of the staff on location remembered seeing him. All of this goes to show that social engineering works as well as decking in many cases; both skills that Martin is highly skilled in.
