Major Events

1939 - Karsus Kargan is born to Mirabella and Kelric Kargan.

1955 - Karsus joins the Men in Black as a junior agent at age 16. Fighting aliens and bureaucracy, he's quickly assigned a prestigious mentor and expected to go great places.

1958* - Case BABEL Delta - a group of energy parasites takes over a branch office of the MIB. Karsus, his mentor, and a platoon of US Rangers attempt to retake the facility. During the mission, Karsus has his first encounter with the Nephandi, and learns something of their views on themselves when he (briefly) interrogates an 'alien' sealed in some sort of containment grid (Summoned demon trapped by a technosi hermetic working for the MIB). Karsus is mindwiped of the entire incident (and on rather frivolous grounds too), although later recovers these memories- leading to an increased paranoia as to the level of infiltration by these 'nephandi'.

1960 - Karsus' mentor is promoted off the field, and Karsus is left to find an apprentice. After a string of unsuccessful partnerships, Karsus eventually goes solo.

1961 - Karsus has his second encounter with the energy parasites, and his first with a willing host- a major (Arete 6) reality deviant. He manages to barely escape with his own life, but suffers major bodily harm in the resultant explosion. He's in traction for six months.

1963 - Karsus leads a platoon of special service MIB agents against an energy parasite infestation in Manhattan

1964 - Karsus uncovers a history of corruption in the MIB hierarchy stretching back as far as four years- specifically to the very date his mentor was promoted off the field.

1965* - Karsus is exposed to major evidence of agency corruption while on a darker than black operation, but is unable to retain those details due to mandatory memory scrubbing at the end of the mission.

1966 - Karsus and a small team of void engineers stop a maniacal alien intelligence known only as Dalek from using an extradimensional energy storm to mass-shift every living human out of Manhattan and replace them with alien duplicates.

1967 - Karsus discovers that his mentor, Agent Jared Johnson, has been subverted by the energy parasites. The two face off over the matter, and a binary explosive is detonated. Karsus barely manages to overload his deflector watch and ride out the detonation. His mentor is not so lucky, and is immediately carbonized.

1968 - 1971* Karsus vows to track down the full extent of alien (Nephandi) infiltration, and serves prominent roles fighting the incursions over the next three years. The majority of these incidents are scrubbed from his memory for various reasons, including the prevention of a major mental breakdown. Karsus is given a temporary leave of absence at an MIB 'farm' in order to recondition him for field work.

1972 - Karsus Kargan is a man who knows too much. Widespread corruption and subversion by energy parasites has the man assigned to increasingly frivolous assignments.

1972 - Karsus Kargan is dead - or so command believes. An F-86 fighter aircraft leaving an air show at Sacramento Executive Airport fails to become airborne and crashes into a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor, killing 12 children and 11 adults, among them Karsus and his wife.

1972* - The crash is actually the cover by the desperate few remaining MIB agents with any integrity, who put Karsus on ice, box him up, and ship him out of site. His tangental participation in this plan is scrubbed from his memory.

2011 - The Syndicate's Execution Committee is ambushed by a corrupted faction of the Progenitors operating in the Caymans. They are aided by the appearance of a man apparently in his mid forties wearing an impeccable suit and using a selection of MIB weaponry not seen since the sixties.

Present - Karsus Kargan now works for the Syndicate's Execution Committee, bringing his unique expertise and experiences to the table. However the specter of his many 'darker than black' missions- missions for which he has no memory- continue to haunt him.
