EDUCATION: Computer Science M.A./University of Michigan at Ann Arbor

SPECIALTIES: Encryption, computer analysis

BACKGROUND: An outstanding student, Stan opted for CIA service right out of college. He worked his way up through the ranks, learning the various skills that he needed to become a better agent along the way. His first brush with the Mythos came during a routine investigation of an offshore money-laundering scheme. He received an evidence package from the DEA that included a collection of encrypted financial records. The information belonged to a notorious arms and drug trafficer who operated out of various Caribbean hideouts. Unknown to all, the drug lord had close ties to a corrupt brujero who was in fact a servitor of the outer gods–Nyarlathotep in particular. The demented sorceror sent a Byakhee to destroy the office and the information late in the night. A dedicated agent, Haddings was working hard on the encryption when the creature attacked. Through sheer luck, he was able to fight off the creature and save the two disks of information, although much damage was done. Shortly afterwards–and thanks to the information–the drug lord was extradited and brought to trial. Haddings was contacted by the newly forming cell structure of Delta Green and the rest is history.

Now serving as the leader of Cell L, Agent Haddings is as dedicated to Delta Green as he is to everything else he believes in. He believes that the group is the only chance for protection this country has from the horrors he himself has personally witnessed over the years. The cases he has worked on have expanded his knowledge of the Mythos as well as his various skills. He has sort of an older-brother attitude towards younger agents and espescially towards those in Cell K. (He feels a bit of responsibilty for the situation with the previous members of that cell, he was the initial contact for their last–and fatal–case.)
