PRT THREAT ASSESSMENT

Code Name: Takeichi
Civilian Identity: Horikiri Takeichi, adult male
Affiliation: Nominally Protectorate, effectively unaffiliated

Power Classification:
- Brute 12+

Abilities:
- Superhuman strength capable of subduing Endbringers
- Extreme durability and reflexes

Assessment:
Takeichi represents an unprecedented level of raw power, potentially surpassing even the Triumvirate.
His ability to engage Endbringers in close combat makes him a critical asset in S-class threats.
However, his current mental state and addictions render him largely absent in the cape scene.

Strengths:
- Unparalleled physical strength and durability
- Extensive combat experience and skills
- Proven track record against S-class threats
- Broad skillset

Weaknesses:
- Severe psychological issues and substance abuse
- Unreliable due to self-imposed isolation
- Lack of motivation for hero work outside of Endbringer events

Engagement Protocols:
1. Do not engage in combat under any circumstances.
2. If intervention is necessary, prioritize de-escalation and negotiation.
3. In case of power use, evacuate the area immediately due to potential collateral damage.
4. Inform Protectorate leadership immediately of any incidents.
5. Maintain covert surveillance but avoid direct contact unless absolutely necessary.

History:
A former construction worker in Japan.
Rose to prominence after helping defend against Leviathan's attack on Kyushu.
Relocated to the US, and is currently living as a homeless individual in Brockton Bay.
Nominally a part of the Protectorate, but largely unresponsive when contacted.

Notes:
- Struggles with guilt over past personal failures
- Extreme reluctance to use powers due to physical and psychological strain
- Refuses rehabilitation efforts and support offered on behalf of the PRT

Recommended Approach:
Direct confrontation is strictly prohibited.
It is in the best interest of the Protectorate to maintain Takeichi's membership at this time.
Treat as though he were a Rogue cape for all purposes.
Maintain awareness of location for rapid deployment against S-class threats.

Director's Note:
As far as we can tell, he just wants to be left alone. Fine by us if he isn't causing any problems. Do not agitate.
