Thomas Rogan's History
Thomas Rogan was born on February 9th, 1966.[1] He became top agent of the American government agency AMS.[4] Rogan was known for his courage and keen decision-making, though he had a reputation for being a "hothead".[1][5]
In 1998, Rogan was engaged to Sophie Richards, a researcher for the DBR Corporation. He met DBR research director Dr. Curien several times.[1] During this time, DBR engaged in top-secret research involving the BioReactor, Curien's DNA-editing machine, within the Curien Mansion.[1][6][7][8][9]

On December 18th, 1998, Rogan received a panicked phone message from Sophie.[10] Two days later, the AMS sent him and his partner G to investigate the Curien Mansion. Rogan took special interest in the case, as Sophie was involved.[6]
The agents arrived to find the mansion overrun by hostile creatures, which Curien had developed and released out of insanity. They witnessed Sophie get kidnapped by the bat-like Hangedman, and later be seemingly killed by the armored Chariot, much to Rogan's despair.
The agents defeated the insectoid Hermit after encountering Curien, who escaped to an underground laboratory. In their final confrontation, Curien awakened his "masterpiece", Magician, who then killed the scientist.[11] After destroying Magician, Rogan bid farewell to Curien, and mourned Sophie.[12]
Miraculously, Sophie survived her wounds. Rogan married her, and in 2000 they conceived a daughter, Lisa.[13]

On February 26th, 2000, Rogan answered to a second creature-related incident, which occurred in an unnamed Italian city and was masterminded by Curien's financier, Caleb Goldman.
After AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart stopped Goldman's plans, Rogan met them at the entrance of the late financier's headquarters. He revealed that G and agent Harry Harris, who were injured during the incident, were safe, and that it was time to move on to the "next battle".[14]

16 years after a 2003 incident posthumously organized by Goldman, humanity collapsed and the AMS disbanded.[15] Rogan, now 52 years old and retired, investigated the cause of these events.[5] He formed a secret division comprised of military commandos and tactical expert Dan Taylor. In October 2019, the abandoned EFI Research Facility was determined the source of the apocalypse.[15]
Dan, commando Yukio, and others were killed during a raid of the facility. Rogan was injured by Death, a hulking creature dressed as a security guard. However, Dr. Curien's son Daniel -- whose terminal illness contributed to his father's insanity, and has now been cured -- rescued him.
Two weeks later, 20-year-old Lisa acted on a promise to her mother to find Rogan, fighting inside the building alongside G. When they reunited, Rogan revealed of Daniel's actions. While G stayed behind to care for Rogan's injuries, Lisa and Daniel saved humanity by destroying Wheel of Fate, which happened to be Curien's body, having undergone a 19-year resurrection process.
