Background[]

Wan Yang was a Chinese spy active in the pre-War United States. Arrested as a suspect during the investigation of the Niagara Sabotage in 2062, she managed to escape during a transfer to Albany, New York.^[2] Years later, local community informants of Point Lookout provided intelligence leading to her capture and arrest by the DIA.^[3] She was then transferred to the detention camp.^[3]

In her interrogation report, the officers at the detention camp noted that she "demonstrates remarkable resistance to interrogation, but yielded information concerning the Chinese intelligence community."^[2] The information within was marked as classified.^[2] A camp terminal entry reported Yang's death during interrogation, citing "method D interrogation" as the cause.^[4] For the official records, the medical examiner listed her cause of death as natural and her remains were placed in locker TD-0181.^[4] The submarine self-destruct codes for the Velvet Curtain questline are found among her remains in the morgue.^[5]
