- "All means are acceptable!"
- ― D.P. Brunton gives Sam Fisher the "green light" to use the Fifth Freedom.
Dermot Paul Brunton is the Operations Coordinator of Shadownet, a black ops group within Third Echelon. In Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, he has a similar role to Irving Lambert, providing Sam Fisher with mission objectives and intelligence over the radio during some of the game's missions. As his operations specifically prohibit live satellite contact between coordinator and operatives, Brunton's function is more bureaucratic and managerial.
In latter games, William Redding and Charlie Cole play similar roles to Brunton.

NOTES-
I like Dermot, but I sometimes think Lambert wants to smash him. He's too enthusiastic for his own good, and I worry that he might be a dork trying to pass for a geek. Scary smart.
