Fender

Fender is a character in Phantom Doctrine’s CIA campaign. He replaces Leslie as Deadpan’s handler after an unsanctioned mission in Pakistan.

Captured by Beholder
During the Vietnam War, Fender at some point was captured and brought to Són Tây prison, where he was held until it was raided by US forces. The raid failed, but he was still rescued. The next day, Fender was brought to a Beholder site, where he was subsequently brainwashed and acted as a sleeper agent in the CIA.

Forming the Cabal
Years later, Fender learns of Deadpan’s unsandtioned raid in Pakistan and says an inspection of his/her operations is imminent. Fender then learns about the raid in Beirut, and says Aguirre and his men were American Special Forces. Deadpan wants to prove to Fender they were dirty, and needs to learn more about the smuggling ring. Bringing the microfilm found on Leslie’s body, Fender is convinced Aguirre was corrupt and wants to work with Deadpan further. But, a hostile driver almost kills Fender, making him further believe something was wrong with Aguirre.
