Colonel Jillian Ickes, M.D. was an officer at the Office of Special Psychological Operations. Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn had requested her to interview Christopher Blair and determine whether his trauma related to the death of his parents or his mother's Pilgrim heritage could be exploited by the enemy leading to any potential security risk. As she wrote to Tolwyn, she found no special security risks in Blair's background or psychological makeup and did not recommend any further observation or restriction of his career.
