“ Let it all burn. - Vivian Conley”
Vivian Conley, call sign Uranus, was a Rogue Division Agent and the leader of the Cleaners. Activated as part of the Strategic Homeland Division's First Wave, Conley eventually became a key member of Aaron Keener's rogue cell in New York City.
She is an antagonist in Tom Clancy's The Division 2: Warlords of New York during the Main Mission Stranded Tanker.
Biography[]
Prior to joining The Division, Vivian Conley was a chemical engineer contractor at Ortiz Robotics, tasked with designing various SHD Tech for the U.S. Department of Defense. Most of her design proposals involved incendiary munitions, such as a flame turret, flamethrower drone, or terrestrial fire bomb.
These were largely rejected for lacking practical utility and ethical concerns, and Conley was dismissed at the end of her contract. However, Ortiz Robotics later produced several of her ideas without credit, such such as the Dragonbreath/Incinerator Turret and Ortiz: Exuro Gear Set.
Although Conley's technical knowledge was appealing to The Division, recruiters were initially hesitant to certify her after psychological evaluations highlighted obsessive tendencies and latent pyromania. She was ultimately accepted and received her Smart Watch from Secretary of Homeland Security Calvin McManus himself.
Alongside Brian Johnson, Conley was among the first Division agents to participate in Ortiz Robotics' Descent simulation at the Potomac Bunker Complex, where she wryly noted her former employer had since implemented some of her rejected designs (if only as holograms). However, she was one of few agents who preferred ANNA to ISAC as an AI handler, and implored Claire Ortiz not to retire ANNA completely.
Conley's family died during the initial outbreak of Green Poison, causing her to develop a deep hatred of the virus and its creators, Gordon Amherst and--as she believed--Vitaly Tchernenko. Conley was activated as part of The Division's First Wave to assist the Joint Task Force in containing the epidemic; when the JTF abruptly pulled out of the Dark Zone, she was one of countless agents left behind--a betrayal that led her to disavow The Division and go rogue. She briefly encountered Keener again inside the Dark Zone, but refused his offer to cooperate.
A weak and near-dead Conley was eventually found by the Cleaners, who recognized her as a rogue agent and took her to their leader, Joe Ferro. Still bitter over the deaths of her family to Green Poison, she eagerly joined their cause, taking over management of their refinery process to the point that some Cleaners secretly considered Ferro a mere figurehead. After Ferro was killed by The Division, she officially became the faction's new leader and modified their arsenal using some of her previous designs from Ortiz Robotics.
As fuel reserves in Midtown dwindled, Conley relocated the Cleaners to the Lower East Side, taking control of a beached oil tanker near Two Bridges and transforming it into a makeshift oil refinery and new base of operations. She was eventually contacted by Aaron Keener again, and convinced to join his cadre of rogue agents in exchange for the whereabouts of Vitaly Tchernenko--unaware that the Russian immunologist was already Keener's prisoner.
Conley would begrudgingly lend her Cleaners to assist Javier Kajika in his vendetta against the JTF and help Keener rescue civilians around Manhattan, escorting them to sanctuary in New Jersey.

After forcing Vitaly Tchernenko to develop the Eclipse Virus, Keener arranged a meeting with B.T.S.U. Commander Dolores Jones to hand over Tchernenko to Black Tusk at Coney Island. At the same time, he lied to Conley that Tchernenko was in Black Tusk custody, and presented Coney Island as her chance to kill him and avenge her family's deaths.
When Black Tusk arrived to collect Tchernenko, Cleaners ambushed both Jones' forces and the Division agents sent to eliminate her. However, the agents managed to rescue Tchernenko from the Coney Island Ballpark before the Cleaners could reach him, and extracted him to the Base of Operations.

With Conley's help, Keener orchestrated an attack on City Hall using his Eclipse Virus, forcing Faye Lau to issue a distress call to her Division counterparts in Washington, D.C.. Led by Alani Kelso, the D.C. reinforcements established a forward base at Haven and began systematically targeting Keener's rogue allies in Lower Manhattan.
An ECHO found at the torched JTF Shelter eventually revealed Conley's location in Two Bridges. With the help of Kelso's surveillance drone, Division agents breached the Cleaners' headquarters, sabotaging their fuel production equipment and cutting off Conley's escape tunnel. On the deck of the derelict tanker, the agents disabled an improvised flamethrower tower, then rerouted the ship's valves to flood Conley's observation deck with flammable gas and detonated it, forcing her to leap down and face them personally.
Conley was fatally wounded in the ensuing firefight, and chose to commit suicide using live Incendiary Grenades. The agents recovered the Burn Sticky Bomb Skill from her equipment and entrusted her Smart Watch to Lau, in the hopes of finding Keener.
Lori "Termite" Baker was too far away, on her way to D.C., to help Conley. Bridgette "Viper" Douglas mourned her loss, and Keener encouraged her to honor Conley's sacrifice.
Shadow Tide[]
Keener would later give Conley's technical designs to Molly "Jupiter" Henderson during the Cleaners' attempt to occupy Roosevelt Island as a staging point to invade the Capitol. Conley's modifications included converting turret emplacements into automated flamethrowers and calibrating mobile EMP generators to disrupt Division agents and their SHD Tech.
These devices would be co-opted by Black Tusk, who deployed them at Pentco Fairview Power Plant against Division agents who went there to rescue Captain Lewis, as well as using them at Camp White Oak against Division agents seeking to recover Birdie Malik from their custody.
Shades of Red[]
Following the revelation that Aaron Keener and Theo Parnell had faked their deaths using hologram technology, it was discovered that Conley had aided in their deception thanks to her prior experience at the Descent facility. She referred Parnell to her former associate, DARPA engineer Mathias "Trig" Schneider, who explained the nature of the simulation technology.
Keener and Parnell later traveled to D.C. and procured a number of Mobile SHD Servers, which they used to fool ISAC and The Division on Liberty Island.
Crossroads[]
As Division agents recovered new intel from NSA servers throughout their multiple runs in the Descent Simulation Facility during the events in Battle for Brooklyn, they recovered a dozen comms involving discussions between Theo Parnell and Jessica Kandel, one in particular involved ANNA. When asked by the virologist how he managed to find ANNA hidden under the Mobile SHD Server, he admitted that he only found her thanks to Vivian Conley's direction. This connects to past comms recovered from the simulation, when Conley begged Claire Ortiz to not let "them" kill ANNA, which she reassured her the AI is being kept underneath the Mobile SHD Server.
To put it simply, without Conley's knowledge about ANNA and her hiding place, the Rogue Network wouldn't have happened.
Personality[]
According to her SHD psychological evaluation, Vivian Conley was a dedicated idealist, but suffered from obsessive tendencies. As a civilian engineer, her lack of concern for ethics unnerved her co-workers, which she dismissed as a necessary measure to save lives. Even after becoming a rogue agent and leading the Cleaners, she continued to believe she was serving the greater good by eradicating the Green Poison, and could not understand why The Division was working against her. Notably, when the Cleaners took control of the tanker in Two Bridges, Conley allowed the ship's non-essential crew to leave, rather than killing them.
Conley's talent for engineering was entwined with a barely-concealed pyromania; many of her design proposals for Ortiz Robotics involved weaponizing fire, which she tried passing off as tools for firefighters to perform controlled burns. Her ingenuity--and obsession--would reach new heights after assuming control of the Cleaners, supplying them with drones carrying incendiary explosives and artillery turrets capable of firing flammable gel.
The death of her family also left her with a lasting hatred for Gordon Amherst and Vitaly Tchernenko, which Aaron Keener exploited to secure the cooperation of the Cleaners. She would never realize that Tchernenko was both an unwitting accomplice and developing the Eclipse Virus--an even deadlier pathogen--for Keener himself.
Because Vivian's work in weaponizing fire was seen as unethical, her time in Ortiz Robotics as a contractor came to an end. While she did have a cordial relationship with Claire Ortiz, she never got along with Alexander, Claire's husband. To her exasperation, a clause in her contract allowed Ortiz Robotics to retain ownership over all of her designs (including personal projects created in the corporate dormitories), leading her to rant with the NSA Analyst about perceived favoritism shown to Claire and Alex's projects thanks to their deep ties with the U.S. government. And yet, despite Alex's claim that Conley's designs would only be used for field tests, they were eventually distributed to Division agents without crediting Conley.
