Well, you could have him do all his intelligence gathering and the like mostly on his own, that's very reminiscent of the Bourne movies. I guess what it boils down to is, does Ithaca have any friends he can trust? I am reminded of a demotivational my husband shared, "One man can't change the world; that's why I use a spotter." Snipers are cool in that they are both capable of operating on their own for weeks at a time, but also able to function in a team environment.
Also, is it purely a motivation of survival & revenge or is there any chance he can rescue his regiment? Do these guys have families, people who care about them?
As for Seren, does she know what she is, and does the original know of her (and others like her) existence? Thoughts, opinions on being cloned? Is the original part of the faceless corp or is she the as yet undetermined 3rd party?
I think Ithaca has people he'll listen to with a pinch of salt. Given the fact he's been betrayed by whoever made him into a killer and is still being hunted, I doubt there's anyone he outright trusts. He's a lone wolf.
The others are safe - they just don't remember who or what they were. Whether that's a one-time thing or if they're kept drugged up, I don't know. If I go with the latter, there's a chance he could rescue them.
Seren knows exactly what she is. The rest I don't know.
Does Ithaca want to survive this? See, a sniper who isn't afraid of dying when the mission is complete is pretty much unstoppable. Even if the target has employed anti-sniper tactics, 1.) it is impossible to protect a person 100% of the time from up to a mile away, 2.) if the sniper knows/suspects an anti-sniper (essentially another sniper) he will think as outside the box as possible, and it's 80/20 the anti-sniper will figure it out BEFORE he's taken his shot. Sneaky snipers are sneaky, and patient as all hell.
He's not suicidal, but isn't afraid of dying either. He knows he's basically a dead man walking unless he can expose the lies that led to the decommission.
