Bridgette Douglas, call-sign "Viper", is one of the four lieutenants of Faye Lau in the End of Watch season.
Biography[]
Bridgette Douglas is the only child of Charles Douglas the co-founder of Douglas & Harding, a military equipment company. She grew up on a secluded estate in the Scottish Highlands. After attending university, Douglas completed an eight-year stint in the SAS before taking a position in D&H as a logistics and supply specialist. When Green Poison hit, she was immediately recruited by Black Tusk, and despite her father's objections she joined Black Tusk.
History[]
Bridgette grew as typical of children of rick and powerful folks, living in the shadow of her father's company. Due to her upbringing, she was expected to act as the perfect daughter in the higher echelon of society throughout, giving her father and his company many contracts. At some point, she struck a friendship with Mackenzie Meret.
Her act got the attention of Calvin McManus, who gave her a smart watch and was given basic SHD training. She was also selected to be part of the Hunter program. When the Green Poison outbreak hit the country, she wasn't activated as a Division agent, leading her to be immediately recruited by Black Tusk. Not long after her recruitment, Bridge attempted to convince Mackenzie to join Black Tusk. However, Mack wanted nothing to do with Black Tusk nor with Natalya Sokolova. The fact that Douglas was also in allegiance with the PMC soured her friendship with Mack
However, she'd have second guesses about her allegiance with Black Tusk, presumably due to learning about Sokolova's true intetions. Wanting to set things right, she found herself in contact with Aaron Keener. During the events of Division 2's base story, she fed him intel about her father's whereabouts as well as intel on President Ellis. It was her intel about Ellis's residence in Camp White Oak that had "Luna" leak intel about the president's whereabouts to the Division, allowing Keener and his rogues time to work on the Rogue network.
During the events of Warlords of New York, Douglas was coerced by Keener to act as the honeypot to Faye Lau, convincing the latter to join Black Tusk so they could undermine the organization and the Hunters. It took some time, but Lau managed to infiltrate Black Tusk. Throughout the course of WONY's campaign, she questioned Keener about letting his lieutenants die, though she'd be surprised when she learned that Theo Parnell is alive thanks to deceiving ISAC with a decoy and a copy of ANNA, tricking the Division into believing he's dead.
After the events of WONY, Douglas still correspondeded with Keener, revealing that due to Mackenzie's refusal in joining Black Tusk, she basically signed her death warrant. The two discussed about Mack with Keener having romantic admiration for her, prompting Douglas to call him a lovesick puppy. She remarked that if he and Mack got together, Sokolova would try to get rid of him since he's not the first suitor for Mack, calling Nat a Hydra who's each head is happy to get rid of the competition.
At some point, Douglas reached out to Major Amanda Xander, her ex-girlfriend, to try and talk things with Faye Lau. Xander wanted nothing to do with Lau as she held a grudge agains the agent, even informing General Anderson about Black Tusk's involvement, warning Natalya Sokolova to not interfere further after he cut ties with the organization.
Douglas also shared intel to Keener on Sokolova's control of the manufacturing process, which she has complete control "in all the ways that matters". She felt a bit uncomfortable over Keener's change of heart, in which he retorted that they all have to evolve if they want to survive. Douglas admitted that she was actively trying to be away from Nat's leash, and Keener tried to convince her to stop "wearing the Black Tusk girdle". However, Douglas preferred to stay as "Operation Cassandra" depended on her staying in Nat's good graces.
Later on, she got put in a team with Faye Lau, where she'd work in logistics for Lau's operation. The two struck a relationship, though it's unknown if Douglas told her she's part of the Hunter program. Regardless, when Lau and her lieutenants got on the Division's radar, agents would hunt Douglas down in Southwest of Washington, D.C and end her.
Legacy[]
Months after her death, various comms collected by Division agents unraveled more layers of Bridgette Douglas and her character, including her partnership with Keener. When the agents completed the Echo trial as part of Keener's tests, he remarked how Bridgette pretended to be the person the agents wanted her to be. And by the time the Green Poison struck, she stopped pretending and tried to fix the mistakes she created.
In fact, further comms correspondence that Division agents intercepted during their Hercules trial shows where her loyalties lie, wanting to put an end to Sokolova and Black Tusk.
