Description
HCOs (High Command Operatives) are an elite organization that serves the High Command of the United Backrooms Authority that appear to have abilities exceeding that of normal humans. They are commonly considered entities due to their mysterious nature. HCOs cover every part of their body with uniforms or armor. There are no confirmed reports of a wanderer ever seeing an HCO's skin. HCOs are known to speak in a monotone and somewhat mechanistic voice. They tend to have a similar body type that appears tall muscular but variations to this body type exist. They are usually considered male but there have been reports of some that look distinctly female.
Behavior
HCOs appear to have absolute loyalty to the High Command of the U.B.A. Despite often being well armed, they are most often reported as simply acting as liaisons between High Command and U.B.A. Officers. It is theorized that the reason why they are not often reported engaging in combat is that when they do engage in combat, there are no survivors to report their presence.
Biology
Little is known about the true biology of HCOs. They do seem to possess a series of abilities.
- They have been shown to posses superhuman strength
- They have never been known to eat or sleep
- They have the ability to control technology linked to the U.B.A. network with their mind
- They appear to possess some sort of hive mind
Variants
Normal
The variant normally used. They wear yellow military grade body armor. They have a helmet that completely covers their face. On the front of their helmet is the symbol of an all seeing eye. They will sometimes mysteriously appear to provide aid too remote and mostly inaccessible U.B.A. outposts. They tend to keep a low profile among high ranking U.B.A. officers and will often obey simple orders, giving an illusion to lower ranking U.B.A. members that the officers are in control.
Black Guards
This variant guards the most secure and secret U.B.A. sites. They wear black leather clothing. Their entire head is covered by a veil. The veil does not appear to have any hole for their eyes to see through.
Golden Messenger
This variant is extremely rare. Unlike other HCOs that avoid taking active command, Golden Messengers explicitly act as commanders when they appear. They also seem to have a greater level personal autonomy than ordinary HCOs. They are highly as their presence often indicates that High Command is taking direct control of an operation. They are also sent to execute insubordinate HCOs. The only individuals that they have been seen to obey are High Command Representatives.
