Kappo was publicly (or reasonably publicly) reported KIA on a mission for Terran Intelligence Command. The reports were incorrect, but were nevertheless widely circulated through the various intelligence communities. TIC became aware that he was alive when he reappeared, and chose not to publicly correct the report but to take advantage of the situation to transfer him to deep cover, for use as a sleeper. Kappo is liberally salted with cybernetic sensory enhancements and bioware, as well as having a wide array of skills.

This skill allows Kappo to assume a false personality by self-hypnosis in the face of possible psionic scanning.
