He's a fairly recognizable member of the psions, having a far larger share of nervous conditions than he should.  Aside from being a severe asthmatic, he has a habit of constantly washing his hands and breathing heavily whenever in small rooms or enclosed spaces.Pretty much everyone had heard of his rather embarrassing encounter with a mundane.  Marks had been forced to block the memories of a forest ranger on multiple occasions, but he accidentally ran into the forest ranger again while on mission.  The encounter sparked something in the mundane and the guy somehow recognized that Marks had mindwiped him.  And thus while Terrance was trying to help other agents quell a dispute some backwoods Elves were having (in Dublin, Georgia), the forest ranger snuck up on Terrance and demanded his memories back.  Terrance put up a good fight, but the mentally resilient mundane managed to squeeze the breath out of him and make him pass out.  While the mundane was restrained by the other agents, Terrance's lacking performance has been a light topic of conversation since then (this had happened only a few days prior to the PCs joining the BMM).However, while the PCs are in training this has mostly been forgotten.  Jared hears from the other psions that something worse has happened.  Less than two weeks before the Olympics, Terrance disappeared.  J'Qwuan had received no warning or even two weeks notice, instead finding a written resignation on his desk. This is big news, but the psion half of the Bureau has kept it under wraps, preferring the rest of the BMM not know they have a rogue agent on their hands.  It's one of the very, very few times a psion has done anything like this, and finding him has been high on J'Qwuan's priority list.Jared has informed the other PCs, but mostly in passing conversation.  Of course why Terrance left the Bureau is a mystery.  No one is sure quite why, perhaps for the stain on his reputation, perhaps out of fear of J'Qwuan for something more sinister ... It's anyone's guess right now.So that's the Big Buzz around the agent's dining hall.  Another actual update will be coming up soon.</blockquote>
