Biography

As a teenager, Jasper Sitwell received an exclusive and private education at the Hydra Academy. He was classmates with Wolfgang von Strucker and a woman named Hale. Upon graduation, Sitwell was disappointed to learn that he was going to be inserted as an undercover operative in the administration department of the American super-spy agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., working directly under Agent Phil Coulson.

As threats to National Security began to take on a more superhuman nature, S.H.I.E.L.D. decided to enact the Avengers Initiative, which involved the recruitment of select civilian and military operatives who possessed a special type of skill set. Following the 2008 incident in Harlem between the Hulk and the mutated Emil Blonsky, the World Security Council wanted S.H.I.E.L.D. to recruit Blonsky from military custody for the Avengers - a tactic that S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury did not wish to see happen. Agent Coulson met with Agent Sitwell in a diner and conspired upon a plan to insure that United States Air Force general Thaddeus Ross would absolutley refuse to surrender Blonsky. They brought in civilian consultant Tony Stark to antagonize Ross to the point that he would be completely uncooperative, and thus, the Abomination that Blonsky had become recmained in military custody.

When Coulson was seemingly killed during the Battle of New York, Agent Sitwell assumed many of his duties. At the time, he was unaware that Coulson was still active within S.H.I.E.L.D. He spoke highly of Coulson and noted that he was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best agents. Agent Sitwell's primary function after the battle was to collect all of the alien weaponry left behind by the Chitauri before it had the chance to fall into the hands of others.

Agent Blake assigned Sitwell to track down two fugitive bank robbers who had somehow managed to acquire a piece of Chitauri technology left behind from the battle. His orders were to retrieve the hardware and neutralize the targets. Sitwell tracked the thieves Benjamin "Bennie" Pollack and Claire Weiss to a motel room in South Florida. He rented the room next to them and baited Bennie into a trap by playing loud music and simulating the sounds of a noisy party. When Bennie came over to ask him to keep the noise down, Sitwell apprehended him and tied him up, but not before Bennie was able to shout a warning to Claire. Claire fired Item 47 through the wall of the hotel room and Sitwell grappled with her, ultimately pinning her down. After a brief interrogation, Sitwell determined that Bennie's intellect and Claire's resourcefulness would be better served in the service of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he recruited them. Claire became the personal assistant of Agent Blake.
