Immediate family: Father: Mathew David Kane. Occupation: Social Studies teacher at George Washington High School. Mother: Debera Janet Kane. Occupation: Physical Therapist for UCSF Physical Therapy Clinic. Formerly: Registered Nurse. Sister: Kairi Samantha Kane. Occupation: Student.

Brief Personal history: Tyler Kane was born to Mathew and Debera Kane at 1:25 A.M. September 27, 2000 at Lake Jackson Memorial Hospital. The first five years of his life was spent in Texas, but after his sixth birthday the family moved to San Francisco. Kane attended public school, and while he was average in most of his subjects. Kane was found to be exceptional in computer science, and physical activities. He lived a very average life and it wasn't until after his younger sister's thirteenth birthday did that change. Kane escorted his younger sister to an I.S. testing facility, once there Kane and his sister were separated and somehow Kane activated an I.S. Much to the shock of the testers and everyone around him. After confirming he could activate one, Kane was tested by the U.S Representative Natasha Faris.

Kane lost the match but proved more than capable of being a pilot. However not long after that he vanished for almost an entire year. It wasn't until after his seventeenth birthday that he resurfaced. According to our sources Kane was taken by Tabane Shinonono, who sheltered and protected him until he began to attend the I.S. Academy. (For more detailed information, please refer to attachment six of the dossier)

Side note: Kane's sister also seems capable of using I.S. with similar skill level as her brother. Agents have been dispatched to watch over the younger Kane sibling.

Psychological analysis: Before the Gospel Incident not much is known about Kane's mindset, but a few things can be ascertained from his actions. Kane seems to enjoy the attention of women, but refuses to act on those who openly through themselves at him. In fact he tends to shy away from it quite a bit, this could be related to his fear of Tabane Shinonono. Who he spent an entire year with alone with. It is speculated from their interactions, that something of a sexual nature happened between the two. Whether it was consensual or not is up to debate.

Kane tends to showboat and seems to thrive on dangerous situations.

Ex: During the class match against Britain's Representative Candidate Cecilia Alcott, and Ichika Orimura the only other male who can pilot an I.S. Kane jumped off the ramp. It should be noted that Kane is a self-admitted adrenaline junkie. This has yet to be determined, but can be considered most likely. Furthermore he has rushed headlong into dangerous situations, with no regard for his own safety. Yet all these qualities have aided in his ability to pilot the I.S. designated 'Victory Dragon'.

Since the Gospel Incident Kane suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which has affected this and it is unknown if Kane will continue to pilot. However our agents believe differently, it should be noted that Kane possess a bit of a white-knight complex.

Ex: As shown in his interactions with Germany's Representative Candidate Laura Bodewig, or his attempts in to keep Charlotte Dunois secret from the school.

Priority as a target: Highly valued target for recruitment, one of two males that can use an Infinite Stratos.

Recruitment possibility: At this time it is currently not possible. As long as target is within the walls of the I.S. Academy he is untouchable, but with the right manipulation he could be coerced into joining. Kane has shown physical attraction to his instructor Chifuyu Orimura, because of this agent 'M' will be deployed. Do to his white knight complex, this may aid in the recruitment process. If agent 'M' will act according to handler's instruction. If recruitment attempts fail, orders are to capture and if all fails then eliminate and given to doctors for dissection.

Agent note: Kane works within a maid café as a butler, extraction is possible but not advised. Target would not react well to kidnapping, while possible to force him to obey. (Look at possible plans to kidnap family) It would best to have target willingly work with us by choice.

Possible connection to Mosaic/Aesir/Spartan Project: None as for as we can tell. Unlike the subjects of the various projects, Kane's DNA has shown no sign of tampering or alteration in any way. (It should be noted that Kane possess a unique genetic marker. What this means we do not know as of yet; two possible theories exist. One: this unique marker allows the use of an I.S. or Two: It proves the theory of homosporous.) It is possible that unlike the various subjects, he is a natural which is extremely rare and increases his priority as a target.

Ex: Despite the serious nature of confrontations he has been involved in (Minus the Gospel Incident, and use of TSSMR Fluid: Further information provided below) Kane has walked away with barely any wounds. He also has shown signs of heightened awareness when outside the I.S. whether this is natural or due to the A.I. is unknown. Further observation required to determine homosporous status.

Side note: Kane's younger sister much like her brother possess the same unique genetic marker, which may indicate her status as a homosporous.

Piloting skills/Strategy: Kane has shown remarkable skill for a beginner pilot, being able to keep up with Representative Candidates with relative ease. Whether this is due to a fluke or just possessing natural talent, is unknown at this time. Kane's primary abilities as a pilot are in close quarter combat, (It should be noted that while Kane has shown limited skill with ranged combat, but has shown preference for CQC) and excels in this area. Kane's battle strategy involves rushing an opponent, in the hopes over overwhelming them with the Victory Dragon's strength and size. The A.I. provides feedback and data analysis throughout the battle, allowing Kane to adjust his strategy as needed. (It should be noted due the nature of the Victory Dragon's Change Armor System or CAS, that his style may change depending on the armor. Further details below, along with video recordings of target's fights.)

Agent note: It is noted as part of his therapy, Kane has engaged Kendo champion, Houki Shinonono in sword combat. This is significant cause for concern, as his melee skills may improve even further. Which will make dealing with target more difficult in the future, if he cannot be recruited.

Infinite Stratos Unit and Core number: Unknown.

Codename: Victory Dragon.

Pilot: Tyler Alexander Kane.

Generation:Unknown, believed to bethird or possibly a prototype for fourth generation. (There is the possibility that the Victory Dragon, may be a whole new form of I.S. or something else entirely. This is just wild speculation at this time.)

Typing: Close combat specialization, with unknown enhancements.

Inactive/Standby mode: Gold metal bracer that begins at the wrist, and ends before the elbow. A green crystal rests within the center, but may be covered up by a metal plate.

1st Shift/Armaments & Abilities:

Dramon Breaker: A large broad sword that is capable of both offense and defense.

Brave Shield: A large kite-shield with a sun emblazon on the front. The shield is incredibly dense, and has shown to be quite resilient to damage.

Horns: The Victory Dragon possess three horns, which seem capable of piercing through an IS's shields.

Dramon Beam: So far, the only ranged weapon/ability seen on the I.S. The massive sword splits in three, with the right and left side generating electricity. With a swing of the blade, a wave of pure plasma strikes the attended target.

Tail: The Victory Dragon possess a prehensile tail, that can be used to attack, it also seems to have some use in flight.

Thrusters: Contained in the 'wings' of the IS are four large thrusters, allowing the Victory Dragon greater speed and mobility.

Armor: The Victory Dragon possess extra armor over several key areas of its frame, the added layer of protection for the pilot.

Unique Features/Oddities:

Full body I.S.: The Victory Dragon unlike most Infinite Stratos is a full body, compared to typical which exposes the torso, legs, arms, and head. This is due to the fact that the I.S. lacks shields and Absolute Defense. In order to make up for this the Victory Dragon possess incredibly thick, armor capable of brushing off most attacks. (This seems to be the case for the 'Base' mode of the Victory Dragon, as during the Gospel Incident the Victory Dragon's Hunter form was broken. Further details provided below)

Lack of Shields/Absolute Defense: The Victory Dragon unlike all standard Infinite Stratos's lack the all protecting barrier, in its place is thicker and heavier armor plating. This lack of the Absolute Defense is a cause of concern, especially since the pilot suffers from injuries. If serious enough damage is caused the pilot will die.

TSSMR Fluid: To compensate for the lack of Shields and Absolute Defense, it has been discovered beneath the layers of armor is a form of Magnetorheological fluid. (MR fluid for short) The fluid acts as a shock absorber, allowing Kane to survive most encounters with little to no injury. It has been noted by our experts, that this fluid is unlike anything they have personally seen. They theorize that the MR fluid was developed by Tabane Shinonono herself. If this is the case, it would explain how Kane has survived so far. (Aside from theoretical homosuperior status) Doctor K believes that this new fluid which he has dubbed 'Tabane Shinonono Special Magnetorheological Fluid' or TSSMR Fluid for short, also increases flexibility and maneuverability. TSSMR also provides protection when dealing with g-force. (This would explain the speed the Hunter form can achieve such incredibly high speeds)

Artificial Intelligence: The Victory Dragon possess an onboard A.I that provides battle analysis, monitors the health of the pilot, keeps an eye on the energy of the I.S. and provides cyberwarfare. The A.I. or 'Vic' as it is called by the pilot, is a unique creation of unknown origin. It is theorized that Tabane Shinonono created the A.I. but given it's close relationship with the pilot it is believed that he had a hand in the creation as well. The A.I. can project itself from the green crystal of the Standby mode, it takes the form of a yellow Tyrannous Rex. While it hasn't been proven, but the A.I. may be able to speak mentally with the pilot.

CAS/Changing Armor System: Believed to be a prelude to the Fold-Out Armor system that is deployed by the Byakushiki and Akatsubaki. The CAS allows the Victory Dragon to quickly change out its initial components, and form allowing it to adapt to a variety of situations. Ex: During the Gospel Incident the Victory Dragon changed to a form codenamed 'Hunter', the bulkier armor and tail were removed, and were replaced with lighter armor and new weapons. The Hunter form possess large ion thrusters, allowing the unit to achieve an unknown amount of speed. It is theorized that it could match the Byakushiki, but this has to be proven. The weapons this form possess are claw gauntlets that can superheat themselves to a degree that they bypass an enemy's shields and Absolute Defense. This however is just a theory, it has only been shown to be used once. Further study and testing are required. The Hunter form is made for speed, and has far greater mobility and speed then the base form. However that comes at the cost of a lower defense, as seen during the Gospel Incident. The leg armor shattered exposing and injuring the pilot, if enough force is used the 'Hunter' form can be disabled. The other armors are unknown as of yet, as are their Call Signs, further study is required in order to determine what they may be.

Side note: Due to the unknown nature of the other CAS forms, agent in place has been ordered to retrieve information and relay it back to headquarters. This must be done without target's knowledge, but do to the A.I.'s existence stealing the information is not possible. Agent may have to coerce target into giving information freely, drugging may be necessary but not advise. (Medical records show high-tolerance to medication)

(Unknown location:)

"So M what do you think?" Laying an arm over the couch, Squall Meusel the leader of the Phantom Task I.S. forces smiles at the younger woman.

Glaring at the dossier in her hand, the young woman known as M throws the tablet onto the coffee table. "Squall you must be joking. They can't seriously expect me to do this can they?"

"They do, and you will." Squall said a smile still on her face. "Kane is a high priority target, and his 'interests'." The older blonde woman put emphasis on that last word, her eyes filling with mischief. Much to the annoyance of M, who continued to glare. "You are best suited for this one particular task. I would send Autumn, but you know how she is. The poor dear wouldn't be able to play along for too long, and it could lead to exposing ourselves too early."

M stomps her foot angrily. "That doesn't matter, you really expect me to just drop my pants-"

"Not at all." Squall calmly states leaning forward, folding her hands together the older woman looks at the tablet. "The higherups want you to help coerce him to our side, yes your looks are a starting point." The blonde woman slowly looks over the dossier a small frown. "However, we decide how to run this operation and it doesn't include whoring you out."

"What did you have in mind?" M asks after a minute of silence; a thoughtful look on her face.

Squall smiles as a plan began to form in her mind. "This will require multiple steps, and more than just you. However for your part, how do you feel like playing a little game of cat and mouse?"

(Several days later, Tye's POV:)

"Achoo!"

"Bless you Tye." Charlotte says with a smile as she holds out a tissue.

Taking it with a nod of thanks, I blow my nose and throw the paper away in a nearby trashcan. "Thanks for that."

"You are most welcome." The blonde French woman pats my back. "So before you sneezed, you were telling me about your new job?"

Snorting I shook my head. "Not on your life Charlie Brown, no one knows not even Ichika." Okay that is a lie, my therapist and Chifuyu knows but no one else. Seriously. If any of the girls found out that I worked as a butler, well… Houki and Rin wouldn't care because they are my buds, though they may demand Ichika to work there. And that would make things bad for me, because Ichika would kill me if his summer was ruined. Ichika took his relaxation time seriously, and if he could avoid working when he knew he was allowed to relax? Yeah…. Ichika would kill me. So Houki and Rin can't know. Then of course there is Celica, despite the fact we had a heart to heart before summer started. That girl is still acts like a jealous girlfriend, whenever I talk to another girl.

Same with Laura and Charlotte…. Okay more Laura than Charlotte.

Okay more Laura then Charlotte, with Charlotte we were friends and confidants first. However with Laura that isn't the case. Sure we get along, but she is really pushy with me… I wonder why? Could it be that I saved her life? Possible but there had to be something more there. Maybe I'm her first crush? That could be it… It isn't that hard to imagine to be honest, she has been a solider all her life. No time to be a normal person, which is really sad to be honest. So I've been trying to just be a friend to her, which I think she needs more. Well that is what Doctor Morris told me I should do, when I mentioned some of the problems I am having when it came to women. It wasn't something I wanted to do, but it came out during a session one day. After that she had me tell her everything, and that became a topic of discussion for a while. Doc Morris believes that the girls feelings are real, but it would be best if I act as their friend. Not just for my sake but theirs as well, because none of us are ready for relationships. Now she isn't saying that I outright reject them or their feelings, but she recommends that try to keep things casual and never be alone together. At least not in private, and if we are out in public it has to be in a place with lots of people. And no where romantic.

Which is why Charlotte and I are having lunch at a McDonalds, not romantic and not a date. At least I hope she doesn't consider this a date, otherwise there may be some problems. Then again, she is the one that asked me if I wanted to get lunch, so who knows. Girls can be weird… Speaking of weird, where is Tatenashi? I haven't seen her since before the Gospel Incident, she just left a note saying that she would be back after summer. Which… Is disappointing and upsetting. Out of everyone I've met at the academy I felt the closest to her. Sure she liked messing with me, but she is just so fun to hang around. Sure she is easy on the eyes, and that light blue hair of hers is beautiful but she is really sweet and understanding. I am just going to stop thinking about this, otherwise I am going to give myself a headache.

"Charlie Brown?" Charlotte turns her head in confusion, before her eyes widen and she begins to laugh. "Oh I get it now."

I took a sip from my soda with a small smirk. "Glad you do. Otherwise we need to marathon the Peanuts."

"Would that be so bad? I love Snoopy." Charlotte still smiling leans forward, giving me the puppy dog eyes. "Now tell me about your job, please?"

"No means no Charlotte." Flushing slightly at the look she was giving me, I turn my head to the side. "Pl-plus you'll have to do better then that, I have a little sister remember?"

"Oh oui, and how is she doing? Isn't her birthday coming up soon?" The French girl asks with genuine interest.

"I talked to her yesterday and she seems to be doing well. As for her birthday, it's coming up soon in a couple of days."

Charlotte claps her hands together. "Tries bien, and have you gotten her anything yet?"

With an embarrassed look, I scratch my cheek nervously. "… If I said yes would you believe me?"

Gasping loudly the blonde glares and wags her finger at me . "Tyler! You must get her something before her birthday, at least tell me you an idea of what she wants."

"I know that! It's just… What she wants is something I can't give her." Mumbling bitterly I cross my arms.

"Surely that is not true, unless it is something really expensive."

Looking down I bite my lip. "It isn't price… It's the fact that Kairi wants me to come home, at least for her birthday."

"Oh." Charlotte shakes her head. "Excusez-moi Tye, I had no idea."

"It's fine you didn't know, and it's such bullshit you know? We've been debriefed since the-" Looking around quickly and making sure no one was around, I leaned forward and whispered. "-You know what. Yet they still won't let us leave the area surrounding the Academy. Unless it's an emergency, we have to stay close to the Academy."

"Oui it is not fair." Charlotte leans back with a sigh. "Well… Since you cannot do that, just buy her something she likes. Or maybe a souvenir from Japan, I am sure she will like whatever you get her."

"Yeah that's the problem-" Before I could finish my sentence, my phone and Charlotte's began to ring. "-Hold on… Hello?" I said as I answered the phone.

"Kane come to the school right away."

"Chifuyu-I mean Miss Orimura, what's wrong?" Frowning my arms begin to shake slightly.

"There is a mission, and your being deployed."

Charlotte and I both made our way to the school and the meeting area, which is in a large computer filled room near the training arena. Once there we saw that everyone else was already here, which meant we were late. Ichika stood next to Houki, the latter of the two just nods as Ichika smiles and waves. Rin stood next to Celica, both of them have a serious look on their faces. Laura leaned against a wall with her eye closed, and arms crossed. Maya stood in the middle of the hanger with Chifuyu, the assistant teacher smiles nervously as Chifuyu tapped her foot in annoyance. Great… Chifuyu is going to hit us over the head with her clipboard… Wait is that a bad thing…? Maybe I should talk to my therapist about that as well… No I think I will keep that to myself, much like what happened with Tabane…

"Kane, Dunois. Care to explain why you're late?" Chifuyu asked pulling me out of me thoughts.

"Sorry we were in on the other side of town." Rubbing the back of my head nervously, I prepared myself to be smacked.

"Uh oui Miss Orimura, the trains were also late." Charlotte explains with a nervous smile.

Chifuyu stares a hole into us, before gesturing for us to go stand with the others. Charlotte and I both stood next to Ichika and Houki. "It doesn't matter, now it's time for the mission brief-" Sighing the older woman rolls her eyes. "-Save your questions for later Kane. Now we have been contacted by the Japanese Government, they have received word a possible theft of training I.S.'s." As Chifuyu spoke she gestured to Maya who walked over to a computer, and began to type away until several images appeared on the screen. The one that stuck out to me is a very feminine looking iron maiden, surrounded by some wings that looked like they belong on a shirt from Forever 21.

"No it can't be." Celica gasped in shock.

"It was only a matter of time before they came back." Laura frowned with a glare.

Ichika looking as confused as I was, cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Uh… Anyone want to fill the rest of us in?"

"Ichika are you really that dumb? Everyone knows who they are." Rin stomped her foot and then turned to me. "Please tell me you know who they are."

"Uh… I plead the fifth on that." To be honest I have no idea what that symbol means, but given everyone's reaction to it? It has to be bad. "If I were to guess, I would say they are a I.S. related group."

Laura slowly nods her head. "Ja they are. A criminal group known as the Iron Valkyries, they first appeared after a year when I.S.'s came out. They caused quite a stir in the international community, so much so that the top pilots from around the world hunted them and killed them."

Oh… I turned to look at Chifuyu and she looked angry. No more than just angry, she looks absolutely pissed off. Whether it was the fact that these people are back, or that someone would use their symbol. They must have been bad to get that kind of reaction from Chifuyu. "So how sure are you that it's them, and not someone using their symbol?"

"We can't be totally sure that it is them, but we can't afford to not take this seriously." Maya explained with a serious look… Man that is weird.

Houki looks around and raises her hand. "Umm excuse me Miss Orimura, but are we all required for this mission?" That is a good point, and something I was curious about. Doctor Morris placed Houki, Celica, and me on limited use of the I.S. in order to help us. Personally… I kind of hope that we aren't sent, as much I hate the fact my friends may have to face danger… I really don't think I could get into an I.S. again. Not now, or ever again… Seriously even after all the therapy, the closet thing I got to even using the Victory Dragon is a partial deployment. Even then, half the time I freeze up.

"Yes as of now you are all fit for duty, Doctor Morris cleared you this morning." From the way Chifuyu said it our teacher didn't agree with the doctor's decision.

"She didn't want to, but there was some pressure on her to clear you all. For two of you it's because your Representative Contenders, and for the third… I am sure you can put it together." Maya added in helpfully.

Chifuyu glares at the assistant teacher before turning back to us. "We can talk more about that later, for now we need all hands-on deck. Which means even if you weren't cleared, you would be going. The police won't be able to handle this, and the older students with personal I.S.'s are gone. Which means we must rely on you." As she spoke Chifuyu looks around at all of us, a serious look on her face. "We're moving on to your assignments, because the operation begins tonight."

After Chifuyu gave us the run down of what was to happen, she dismissed us all to get ready. However I stayed behind, I needed to talk to the older woman. "Miss Orimura can we talk for a moment?"

"What is it Kane, you know your assignment. You should be preparing." The eldest Orimura sibling raised an eyebrow.

"About that… Listen I don't think I can do this-"

"Tyler." A comforting hand rested on my shoulder, as my teacher stared at me with a reassuring look. "You can do this, if you keep psyching yourself out you will freeze up." Squeezing my shoulder the older woman smiles. "If all goes well, you won't even have to deploy your I.S. but if you do don't worry. If it comes down to fight or flight, I know you will fight if the others need you."

I… I have no idea what to say here… "I… Thank you Chifuyu-Ow!"

"That's Miss Orimura on school grounds Kane, now get ready." Chifuyu growled, her magical clipboard in her hands.

"Yes ma'am." Rubbing the top of my head, I let the room to prepare. I have a feeling I am in for a long night.
