(Subject's extensive academic achievements are a testament to his extraordinary intellect and eidetic memory. He is a polymath with a thirst for knowledge and an ability to absorb information at an astonishing rate. While these credentials are impressive, their practical application in the field is questionable and may, at times, hinder his ability to relate to others.)

NOTABLE CASES & INCIDENTS:

Tobias Hankel: Subject suffered severe trauma, both physical and psychological, at the hands of this unsub. He was drugged, abducted, and forced to participate in a series of psychological games that pushed him to his mental and emotional limits. This experience left lasting scars and continues to haunt Subject.

The Reaper (Paul Silbert): Subject was targeted by this unsub, who sought to exploit Subject's empathy and intelligence. The emotional and psychological manipulation inflicted by The Reaper took a heavy toll on Subject, forcing him to confront his own mortality and the ethical complexities of his work.

Anthrax Attack: Subject was inadvertently exposed to anthrax while investigating a case. This experience highlighted his vulnerability to the physical dangers of his job and the ever-present risks associated with confronting criminals.

Drug Addiction (Dilaudid): Following his abduction and torture by Tobias Hankel, Subject developed an addiction to Dilaudid, a powerful painkiller he was prescribed for his injuries. This addiction spiraled out of control, nearly costing him his career and his life. While he eventually overcame his addiction, it remains a dark chapter in his past and a constant reminder of his own fragility.

SPECIALIZATION:

Behavioral Analysis: (Expert - Subject's vast knowledge base, coupled with his ability to analyze behavioral patterns and predict criminal behavior, makes him an invaluable asset to the BAU. His insights often provide crucial breakthroughs in complex cases.)

Statistical Analysis: (Expert - Subject possesses an uncanny ability to recall and process vast amounts of data, identifying statistical anomalies and uncovering hidden patterns that others might miss. This skill is particularly useful in profiling criminals and predicting their next move.)

Geographic Profiling: (Expert - Subject's understanding of geography, combined with his analytical skills, allows him to create geographic profiles of criminals, narrowing down their potential hunting grounds and aiding in their apprehension.)

Linguistics: (Proficient - Subject is fluent in several languages and possesses a deep understanding of linguistics. This allows him to decipher coded messages, analyze speech patterns, and communicate with subjects in their native language, often proving crucial in building rapport and extracting vital information.)

Deductive Reasoning: (Expert - Subject's primary strength lies in his exceptional deductive reasoning abilities. He can quickly process information, identify patterns, and draw logical conclusions, often making connections that others overlook. This skill is essential in understanding criminal behavior and anticipating their actions.)

ASSETS:

Exceptional Intellect: Subject's eidetic memory and extraordinary cognitive abilities make him a valuable asset in any intellectual pursuit. He can absorb and process information at an astonishing rate, making connections and identifying patterns that others might miss.

Empathy and Compassion: Despite the dark nature of his work, Subject possesses a deep well of empathy and compassion for others, even those who have committed horrific acts. This empathy allows him to connect with subjects on a human level, often gaining their trust and eliciting confessions.

Dedication to Justice: Subject is driven by a profound sense of justice and a desire to protect the innocent. This unwavering dedication fuels his work and motivates him to face down darkness, even at great personal risk.

WEAKNESSES:

Ophelia Reid: (See Blackbird - O.R. file) Subject's emotional dependence on his wife is absolute. Any threat to her safety or well-being could compromise his judgment and lead to reckless or unpredictable behavior. This attachment represents his greatest vulnerability and must be handled with extreme caution.

Naiveté and Social Awkwardness: Subject's sheltered upbringing and lack of social experience can make him appear naive and socially awkward. He often misses social cues and struggles to understand the nuances of interpersonal relationships, making him an easy target for manipulation by those who would exploit his innocence.

History of Trauma: Subject's past experiences, particularly his abduction and torture, have left him with psychological scars and a lingering vulnerability to trauma. He may exhibit symptoms of PTSD, including flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened anxiety in stressful situations.

NEUTRALIZATION:

(Subject, while highly intelligent and resourceful, does not possess the same level of physical prowess or lethal capability as some of his associates. However, his intellect and knowledge make him a potential asset to hostile entities, and his connection to Subjects Blackbird, Spectre, and  Tempest makes him a person of interest. Apprehension or neutralization should only be attempted as a last resort and with extreme caution.)

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:

(Subject's lack of practical field experience and his emotional dependence on Subject Blackbird present potential avenues for neutralization. However, his intellect and unpredictable nature make him a complex target, and any approach must be carefully considered.)

Exploit emotional vulnerabilities: Subject's deep love for his wife, Ophelia, is his Achilles' heel. Any threat to her safety or well-being could compromise his judgment and make him act irrationally. However, exploiting this weakness is a high-risk strategy, as it could have unforeseen and potentially catastrophic consequences.

Utilize psychological manipulation: Subject's history of trauma, coupled with his social awkwardness and tendency to overthink situations, makes him susceptible to psychological manipulation. A carefully orchestrated campaign designed to exploit his fears and insecurities could be effective in neutralizing him without resorting to physical force.

Limit access to information: Subject thrives on information and knowledge. Depriving him of access to data, particularly regarding ongoing investigations or the whereabouts of his loved ones, could significantly impair his ability to function effectively. This could involve disrupting his communication networks, isolating him from his team, or feeding him false information to sow confusion and doubt.
