In 1999, the Second Elder was notified by the CSM about the attacked doctors in the Potomac Yard and of an emergency Syndicate meeting. Just then, he was met by a faceless alien who took the form of Eugene Openshaw. Having just been informed he was killed, the Elder realized who it was, but it was too late. He was killed and the alien assumed his features so that he could infiltrate the Syndicate. At an emergency meeting of the Syndicate in New York City, the alien posing as the Second Elder proposed joining forces with the rebel force against the colonists, an idea that was shot down by the Cigarette Smoking Man. This sudden and extreme proposition alerted the CSM to the alien's infiltration of their group and he charged Template:Preview/js with killing him.
