Agent 3130 seems to suffer from numerous feelings of inadequacy especially over his physical capabilities. This seems to stem from childhood trauma which causes him to constantly compare his capability against his friends, family and coworkers, often, using unreasonable standards to justify his placement. His sense of humor stems from his desire to hide these inadequacies as well as deflect attention away from himself before others can criticize him further, after all, what better way is there to stop someone from pointing out his flaws and failures then if he does it first? This barrier he has put up around himself is hard to see, at first, as his friendly and open demeanor make it hard to tell that he is subtlety undermining any attempts to get closer to him. From what I can infer, his relationships with people outside of his family are likely very shallow ones and I doubt he has ever had a fulfilling romantic relationship in his life. Despite this barrier he subconsciously puts up around him, Agent 3130 seems to hate undercover work. I'm not sure if the idea of pretending to be someone else eats at him due to his own dislike of his limitations or if it is the act of lying that he finds so detestable. I do not recommend moving him to such task as his current position in aiding local law enforcement agencies far better fits his skill set and fragile ego. Creating short-lived working relationships with numerous strangers and then leaving before it gets too real is far better suited, however, I worry that this is only pushing Agent 3130 further into these tendencies. If he were a patient of mine, I would want to explore this further, but this is merely an evaluation to his ability to work within this field.
I will say that his dedication to his work is admirable if not bordering on obsession. He seems to have quite a few hobbies, from video games, writing, reading, playing 'wargames' and other such tasks, I will note that many of these hobbies seem to be very solitary and, I suspect, allow him to still work whilst engaging in these 'time sinks'. I do not believe this is good for his mental health, everyone needs a break from stress and if this job is anything, its stressful. I believe Agent 3130 should be put on leave and a family visit would be highly suggested, he needs to let those barriers down and relax and indulge in true human contact. Despite this being a path I believe would help, I do not think it would work as well as one would hope, thanks to his skill set, it would be all to easy for him to gain access to his case files and resume his self-destructive behavior. While Agent 3130 may claim to the contrary, I have been noticing disturbing signs of substance abuse in the form of alcohol. Using it to manage his stress and anxiety as he delves into his obsession. Finding what he dislikes proved rather difficult as Agent 3130 wasn't comfortable talking about it, and it seems he is the type of man to pretend to get along with things if it means he can move past it easier, but from our talks and observations, I have noticed he seems to hate the sound of snapping, heavy rain and the smell of smoke, which seems to stem from trauma from an unknown earlier case. I firmly believe there are many, many others, more then he even realizes, but he simply pushes through them as it makes it easier for himself.
While he is very passionate about his work, I do not recommend Agent 3130 be allowed to return to the field until I have had more time to truly work with him.
Background:
Brenner was born in Littleton, Colorado and raised by a single mother. His father was in the military and lived in New Jersey. Brenner has never met or even spoken a word to him. The closest thing to a father figure he had was his grandfather whom was a member of the local police force. Raised alongside his cousin, whom was three months older, they were raised with a strong sense of moral obligation and family duty. It was always Brenner's dream to be a cop, just like his grandfather, and make him proud. Of course, he wasn't perfect as his grandfather was very into cars, landscaping and other such manual labor intensive work while Brenner... wasn't. He always preferred pursuits of the mind and preferred to spend his time reading and playing on computers. After graduating from the Colorado College, he joined the FBI along with his cousin. While his cousin went on to become one of the best field agents in the bureau, Brenner became an analyst. He spent the majority of his time either with his time pouring over evidence and data to complete algorithms to find their suspect or he would be 'loaned' to various local law enforcement in order to assist them in high profile cases which is something he enjoyed doing and excelled at. He has a remarkable case closure rate, however, every cop, his grandfather would say, has that case that plagues them, and Brenner has his. It was two years ago when he was assigned to a case involving multiple missing children after one, who had since become an adult, resurfaced bloody, shoe less and shell-shocked. He poured his heart and soul into that case, trying to find the other missing children, the syndicate that was abducting them but it became cold and his prime suspect was able to walk. Failing that case, and those children, despite promising the survivor, Katherine Anderson, that he would bring it down caused, as his mandated psychiatrist would say, an obsession to grow in Brenner. Most of his free time went to the cold case that he was long since pulled off from and he even used bureau resources in his unsanctioned crusade. At the advise of his psychiatrist, he was pulled from his department entirely and assigned to the special operations where he was made an undercover agent. He has only done a few assignments and.. he doesn't like it. But he knows why they are doing it, the longer they keep him buried in alter-egos, the further distance they create from him and his cold case. Its not that Brenner doesn't see his new cases as worthwhile, its just he can't let it go.
