Ok maybe I have too much time on my hands
but i was looking at golem-spawn unity and the operative ... and I think they look an awful look alike
as for the tattoo ... she is missing an arm
(not that I wanted to start this topic again)
OMG, the Operative is a replicant.
She is the Wraith, Golem Unity and Con.
She is also Santa Claus. I'm pretty sure. At least the Santa that came to my house when I was nine had a really big knife with a long handle. I think that was a guy though, and I don't think we have a ruling on whether or not the Operative smells of Cigars and cheap whiskey.
Either way my whole life makes a lot more sense now.
