Jay Thorntree

Agent Jay Thorntree was one of the agents from the Original Series. She most famously worked with Acacia Byrd in the Department of Mary Sues and the Department of Implausible Crossovers. When Acacia retired, she worked with Agent Rhus.

Early Days
Jay was recruited to the PPC in 1996 HST, and immediately joined the Department of Mary-Sues. The identities of her partners in those early days are not known; however, at least one is said to have been killed by Nendil Morifëa of the Department of Internal Security, and one (possibly the same one) is rumoured to have gone insane.

Jay was involved in the later events of the Reorganisation, specifically the attacks on the DIS which drove them from HQ. She is credited with the idea (specifically, deflecting the rays with mirrors) which defeated the Daleks -- the DIS's secret weapon, which nearly won them the war -- and is known to have worked alongside Jared Calinson and Mortic Wentway for the duration of the crisis. She also defeated Nendil in a duel during these events, but was unable to kill him.

Acacia
In 2002, Jay was partnered with a new Assassin -- Acacia Byrd. The pair became the most famous Assassins in the PPC, with the largest body of mission reports available at the time. They worked together for less than a year -- including a stint in the Department of Implausible Crossovers -- before Acacia retired for sanity reasons. During this time, the pair ended the PPC's kill-all-Cute Animal Friends policy when they recruited Alice.

After Acacia
Jay remained in the DMS following her partner's retirement, and was assigned to Rhus Radicans. However, they completed only two (recorded) missions before Jay, too, retired in 2003.

The only thing known about Jay's leaving party is that Steve Dimond and Kayleigh Leonard slept together at it.
