Operations
Edit
2004: Georgian Information CrisisEdit
Added by ChaosTheory07Coen was the replacement for Sam Fisher's field runner Vernon Wilkes, Jr., who was mortally wounded in a shootout with Russian mercenaries on the roof of the Kalinatek building in Langley, Virginia, during the Georgian Information Crisis.
As a field runner, her primary duties involved delivering Fisher into the mission area as well as extracting him after the mission is complete. She also provided good-humored banter with Fisher during mission briefings.

- Main article: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Coen was active during the East Asian Crisis in 2007, when she had been stationed in Japan to monitor the activities of a Yakuza organization known as the Red Nishin. When Fisher was asked to tap telephone lines in a Japanese bathhouse to aid Coen in this, he replies, "For Frances... of course I can."
TriviaEdit
- In the timeframe of the novel Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Operation Barracuda (c. 2006), Sam initially resented being forced to work with Coen to track down The Shop, and was initially against the Field Runner program entirely. This may have been due to the Splinter Cell program losing several of its agents, having lost three to four Splinter Cells in the previous year[1], as well as Sam himself losing his first field runner, Vernon Wilkes Jr., just over a year before (though this is not mentioned in the story). He had previously been working solo during 2005 without the use of field runners and was concerned for Coen's safety, worrying what would happen to her if she was captured and tortured.[2] By the end, however, he warms up to her considerably and is glad to be working with her.
- Coen is described as having "a large scar on the side of her neck that disappears into her collar."
- She is also possibly a lesbian. In Pandora Tomorrow outside of the TV Station in Jakarta, Indonesia, Fisher states the he gets the feeling she doesn't like women to which she responds: "Like isn't the word, but you don't ask about it and I wont tell." This may be a reference to the "Don't ask, dont tell" policy.
