Apparently I was wrong again. Forensic Technologist is an actual title.
This episode just makes me wonder what the hell Damien’s deal is. They never explain what his motivation is for wanting the CTOS hacks. It seems like he’s only doing it because he’s one of the designated villains of the story. In that sense, he’s almost like a cartoon character.
Despite his leg injury, and his inability to be reasonable in any circumstance, he’s appears to be pretty successful given steady employment with a great salary. By all accounts he’s doing alright. That’s not to say that I don’t understand why he’s going after the second hacker: He wants revenge over his broken leg. That’s basically what Aiden Pearce is doing, so it’s par for the course.
But they didn’t really establish why he desires the CTOS access. He’s a good hacker, from what we see in the story. If he wanted to, he could probably get in without any deals whatsoever. You’d think that a hacker like Damien would appreciate that kind of challenge. Instead, we see him pointlessly selling us out for no real reason.
I just don’t get it.
I hate this game.
