I think these ice cold assasins are clones. Reason is they have no name or rank. They also seem outside of the military. They are directed by the Parliment but seem to be from the Blue Sun Corp (comic). Different from the hands of blue dudes. Duty and faith are strong with these jokers could be designer genetics. Also biomed is far advance in the verse example pvt Tracy in The Message. Luv to here your thoughts.

I don't kill santas. I do.

"Battle of Serenity, Mal. Besides Zoe here, how many-" "I'm talkin at you! How many men in your platoon came out of their alive".

That's an idea, but it's taking the concept too far. There is a simpler answer.

They are samurai.

They obey their masters without question, they are disciplined and fight extremely well, exploiting every opening they find, and they will find one (The best fight I can think of is the disciplined style of the operative, against the balletic style River uses in the BDM).
He has neither name nor rank because they are things no longer important to him. His training and conditioning have given him all he needs - a purpose.

For every battle honour, a thousand heroes die along, unremembered and unsung...

I think this hits it right on, and I can really see a lot of similarities to the Rha's al Gul/Henri Ducard character from Batman. Willing to do all that is neccessary to defeat evil because compassion is a weakness.

clones seems a bit far fetched to me, maybe just a bit of mind washing in basic trainign camp and a slight amount of GE to make him stronger

I've always thought that the Operatives were the first graduates of the Academy-system that River was sent to. Not the same program, but an earlier version, before they decided to make their methods a little more extreme.

I think that River would have been part of a special project, one that would be done under the auspices of a school-like Academy where young, promising students were trained and basically brainwashed into believing the way they do. I think it would be a normal progression in an academy with behavioural conditioning programs for the doctors to say: "What else can we do to make our students 'better'?" and then come up with a program for River.

In this I think the movie "Soldier" with Kurt Russell, would probably explain my thoughts best.
