Biography[]
In late 2000, former agent Riley Finn called a number requesting an emergency case after a Queller demon arrived in a meteor and made one known victim in Sunnydale. Soon after, Major Ellis arrived with Agent Graham Miller in a helicopter and introduced himself to Riley. They discussed what they knew about the extraterrestrial, and Ellis arranged for Graham to use a Geiger counter to find the creature.[1]
They traced the Queller demon in the psychiatric ward at Sunnydale Memorial, where it had caused five more deaths. The Geiger counter pointed them outside the hospital, and Ellis concluded that the Queller demon escaped with a mental patient who had checked out that day and unwittingly drove it to the person's home. Riley realized the patient was Joyce Summers, but Buffy had already killed the demon at the time the team burst into their home.[1]
Afterward, Ellis and Graham received a transmission from Belize about infra-red scans that detected a dangerous demon was breeding. Ellis ordered his men to get ready before it spread outside the village, and Graham suggested they have Riley on their team. Ellis waited for Riley inside his apartment and invited him to the mission in Belize, explaining they were unlike the Initiative and only stopped demons from causing destruction. They would wait for Riley until they left Sunnydale that night, and Riley ultimately decided to go with them.[2]
