You know it just came to be a thought on the Operative from the Serenity movie -- did he have a name? Or just always known as "The Operative"?

I could be wrong, known to happen!

At the beginning of Serenity, he said he had no name- that was the whole 'No name, no rank- like the facility, he doesn't exist' thing...

in Joss' commentary he says that the Operative had no name, and no life outside of being a weapon of the Alliance. At the end he has lost even that.

oh...that is a very interesting theory...

I always assumed that Book had formerly been an officer in the military industrial complex (maybe in Blue Sun Corp), he may even have helped create the 'academy' where River was sent....

but a former Operative, that is a definite possibility.

Hmmm

I think he has no name, because to the Alliance he's not a person he's a thing:( Probably raise by Alliance to do what he did.

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2
