Celtic
Marvel

Intrepid

What good is a codename if it's pubic in the opening weeks of a presidency?

I hope that was meant to say "public", but anyway I think it's mainly just a shorthand way of referring to people and things. To be fair though, if you want to keep things secret, perhaps "Secret Service" is not the best name to give yourselves.

But anyway... it is what it is.

When the Secret Service began, its agents were mostly secret -- undercover operatives with a very limited mandate to infiltrate counterfeiting operations. The numerous other jobs that it has been given since then were unforeseen by its founders.

You should still have figured out who "Halo" was, mate. That wasn't exactly Bletchley Park level code cracking.
