Delta Green Friendly: Captain Otto Koller, Texas Department of Public Safety and Friendly

 

Captain in the Midland District of the Highway Patrol and member of the Texas’s State Intelligence Team, working primarily as a liaison between the SIT’s internal departments and the Highway Patrol. Well liked and well known, he tends to get around and knows at least one person on a first name basis at every sub-district of the Department of Public Safety, and has plenty of friends in Austin. 

Koller's main role is he constantly has an ear to the ground when it comes to Texan state law enforcement, in particular with the highway system. He has a very, very good reputation among his collugues as a guy who can help out with strange and complicated cases. He's always happy to take something off the hands of someone who doesn't really want to deal with the inexplicable, and makes it the problem of the feds, which is to say, Delta Green. Such cases have a way of just going away.

Koller is ideal as a friendly for one of the better organized Outlaw Cells, though he works just as well for the Program. His main asset is as an intelligence gathering resource, he's always on the look out for what he refers to as "the forces of darkness" when it comes to cases across the state of Texas and through SIT he essentially has established his own network of friendlies. However, he simply isn't Cell Leader material. He doesn't have the stomach for the inherent criminality most Delta Green oeprations require. 

While he's something of a seeker, Captain Koller ultimately doesn't want to know too much. He should also be prevented from knowing too much about anything henoius the Agents do, for in his heart, Koller is a genuinely decent human being. This means that if he catches wind of the Agents doing something monstrous, he'll attempt to intervene. It also means that the increasingly repressive and inhumane operations that mark Operation Lone Star and the 2nd Trump administration will put him in moral crisis, and he will steadily loose influence as things continue.

Description and Personality:

6'3'' muscular, fastidously clean, flawlessly polite, and with a warm smile, Captain Koller seems every bit a caricature of a white hat from an old western film. Extremely health conscious and very superstitious, Koller neither drinks nor smokes and always has his rosary beads and some charms on him.  The CD collection in his car is a strange mix of classic 90s country, Hildegard von Bingen, Gregorian Chants, and Ravi Shankar. He is a devout Catholic, having been raised as such, but has some very new agey occult interests as well.
