August Ulisis White was brought to Three Blades Company, (accompanied by sister, July Celeste White) on 19 January 2176 as one of a few unforeseen consequences during what should have been a routine individual contract (Iron Hide squad files on record, redacted, sealed).

Preliminary assessment was what you'd expect from higher echelon, objective to place the children back in proper custody tactfully was paramount. 
Feelers were sent out to known associates of Three Blades Company who specialize in subject relocation and an estimated time frame of 6 to 8 months was cited for proper reintegration.  

As with all personnel within compound walls, returning or on extended stay, both August and July were remanded to General Care Ward for full physical and psychological workup, accompanied by a standard suite of interviews, aptitude and IQ testing, as well as ongoing observation and assessment by qualified officials, under the care of no fewer than one B class medical or psychological professional, as the testing dictated. 

Initial response from general personnel was as expected if not mixed, though for the most part, their presence within compound walls was tolerated. 

--------------------------------------------

Full physical and psychological tests would indicate that August was a healthy, functioning seven year old male, though he was found most often to be quiet and kept to himself.
Observed discussions between he and his sister would indicate that this is typical, as any responses from him were sparse and furthermore monosyllabic at best.
Psychological evaluation and observation would only further solidify this as a factual piece of his personality. 

--------------------------------------------
INITIAL INTERVIEW NOTES: (Doctor Benjamin Cote) Begin; "August has proven to remain somewhat enigmatic through his overall silence. Almost two hours of preliminary interviewing and he remained as tight lipped throughout. He's either a tough nut to crack, or he just doesn't have much to say. 
Overall, August doesn't show signs of distress that one would typically see in a child his age, given the circumstances, By which I mean, he doesn't seem stressed or frightened in any way. Comfortable, would be the term. 
Of course, I interviewed him on many subjects ranging from that which a typical 7 year old may find entertaining to more probing questions about his situation. He seemed just as interested in the former as the latter, that is to say, not.
When asked about his feelings toward his sister, he shrugged. When asked about his father, his offered rejoinder was simply that "He's dead.". When asked how he felt about being here, he only scanned the room, no further reaction elicited. 
I tried it all. I wouldn't say he's an introverted personality, he just internalizes."
-------------------------------------------

With the latest deadline for their relocation pushed back by months it was brought to light by proxy of July that neither of them wished to leave. When he was asked to corroborate this sentiment, August only responded that he liked it here. 
After much deliberation between A class psychologists and platoon lieutenants, the idea was hatched to request the pair be sent to Company Alphas for deliberation regarding whether to keep the children on to further research on the effects of combat training on children as well as their potential viability as long term agents and the mental implications it may carry. It was an opportunity it seemed was presented for a purpose, it was considered to be a waste not to pursue. 

After what seemed would be a losing battle, a vote passed 4 to 3 in favor only under the specific stipulations that every precaution be taken, and that if anything were to go awry, heads would certainly roll in the fallout. 

With that, this unlikely situation, brother and sister, moved forward. 

At Age 10, August was assigned to his handlers and personal physicians, undergoing regular observation and evaluation, his training began shortly after

August showed great promise right away, physical strength and agility being well beyond what was anticipated. Though his personality remained fully in tact - reticent and less than forthcoming on most accounts, he was focused and unrelenting in his efforts. Anything that could be thrown at him was, and even if he did not succeed, he persisted, pushing on and on, many times to the concern of physicians. His actions were akin to that of a brush fire, in that they were sure to be fierce, if not unwieldy and unpredictable at times. One thing was almost a certainty however, he wouldn't rest until he had accomplished what he set out to do, even at the expense of his own well being, occasionally sustaining injuries and strains in the process.

In combat sparring, his small frame was a deficit as anyone with a long reach could grapple him into submission, though this always came by way of choke out as nothing else would quell him. In moments of great irritation he would inevitably enter a frenzied state, attacking with obsessive animosity, becoming increasingly difficult to control, often to his own detriment in some way or another. 

In light of this, he was assigned a strict regiment of training in Judo and by age 11 would begin enhancement training in Bakator both as a means to augment his small frame and limited reach with tactics he could use to counter his opponents with an array of throws and grapples, as well as striking and weapons combat.  
Regardless, when things weren't going his way, his temper would get the better of him, which came as both an amplification to his newly learned skills and a point of indignation to his handlers.

Many attempts to curb this behavior were made by probationary measures, but it wasn't until he severely injured a sparring partner (PFC James Schneider, Sword and Shield squad) that more extreme measures were taken. August was submitted for review and it was deliberated that he receive five lashes by cane and five days in confinement followed by twice a week psychological assessment, tightened restrictions and stricter punishments for future outbursts, going so far as to deny time with his sister, July.

At age 12, August had been tempered into a fiery and cutthroat combatant, and by this time, deadly. He would shortly after be enrolled in weapons specialization under strict observation at all times. He had the makings of a marksman, scoring impressive marks at medium range and close quarter training, but his interest seemed to wane on the subject of firearms. Nevertheless, his relentlessness, as with all things, ensured that he would know the particulars and specifics of anything put in front of him by the end of his courses.

Late in his 13th year, notable change in August's temperament was observed, though the catalyst for this could not be determined. His lead psychologist postulated that it could be as simple as maturing mentally. He became more focused and less combative in general, consigning his baser instincts and anger with only few exceptions, exclusively while training. All in all, he became more manageable, this was further placated by certain restrictions being lifted on the premise of good behavior. This continued until all prior restrictions were lifted and he was permitted to be instated in full following sign off of appropriate parties.

By age 14, August had completed his preliminary training, with passing marks in each category. He would be sent for final evaluation and subsequently granted access to accept field missions, though as it was noted by lead psychologist (Olivia Becker) that August exhibited lingering signs that could see a psychotic outburst given the proper triggers, his first contracts would be under the supervision of a ranking Corporal or higher assigned to act as overwatch and relay any pertinent information to appropriate parties upon completion.

FIELD REPORT: (Sergeant Emma Farriday) Begin; I was assigned to August on his third field mission, a simple watch and see. My job was to keep him on track if he started heading off the rails, so to speak, watch from a distance and offer guidance through comms if needed, but otherwise I was just a silent partner on the job. 
He found the target on his own and relayed the location to me, just as instructed. It wasn't an lengthy process, target was a creature of habit, took the same route each day, stayed on schedule, predictable. While August tailed, I set up shop on a rooftop, clear vantage point, less than half a klick off the path. 
He'd been walking behind him casually the entire time, he didn't draw any attention, just a teenage kid walking down the street, nothing to see. I gave him the all clear and he set to work. 
.... (throat clearing) It was savage. Something... off... about the situation, you know? That level of violence from a kid his age? When I was assigned, I'd assumed it would be quick, easy. A quick shot on a fairly empty street then a disappearing act, easy. August, he... Let's just say he went a different path than I'd have gone. 
To be fair, it was still over relatively quickly. He closed the distance, gave a slap on target's right shoulder, and as quick as he turned around, he was overwhelmed. I'm not sure which blow did the job, but I'm sure that the kid got enough in to establish that the job was done thoroughly. 
Just as quick, he was gone. Just like that. Met up at rendezvous marker as planned. 

As far as the question of sign off... All criteria was met. Target located, dispatched, albeit through less conventional methods, then a clean decampment. All things being equal, Sirs, that's the job. He showed no signs of deviation from routine procedures. No rogue tendencies. 
Do I think he's capable of handling himself? Reputation aside, what I saw would indicate so, yes.

Do I think he's clear for solo contracts? Absolutely.
