Rosalind Price

"The laws of nature have changed, and until the laws of men change to reflect that, we can only do what we feel is right."

- Rosalind Price

Rosalind Price is the head of the Advanced Threat Containment Unit.

Early Life and Career
Using different aliases, Rosalind Price was a member of different agencies. From 2008 to 2009, she worked at the CIA Office of Middle East Study and Technical Analysis using the alias Sarah Russell. While there she was presented with the agency's Silver Seal for distinguished contributions to the OMESTA branch in Langley, as well as overseas as part of CIA stations in Kandahar, Amman, and Riyadh. She was also tasked with periodic liaisons with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to deliver briefings on overseas agency operations.

Using the alias Jane Thompson, she worked intermediately for NASA from 2010 to 2012 on Project Valhalla. She left NASA in early 2012 after funding was pulled from her project after the Battle of New York. During her time with NASA, she also began working for the British Embassy in Tripoli using the alias Margaret Campbell. During this time, she moved to London and began to work with a joint /MI6 taskforce looking into extra-terrestrial radio transmissions. One year into the project, she went off the grid while in Peru's.

From 2013 to 2015 she used the alias Samantha Potter. On November 28, 2013, she was hired as a consultant for special projects by the in Atlanta, Georgia. On April 24, 2014, she transferred to the Washington, D.C. branch to serve as a special adviser to Congress.

On June 6, 2015 she was reassigned to a top-secret clearance-level initiative with a classified location.

Eventually she resurfaced as Rosalind Price, now working for President Matthew Ellis and running the Advanced Threat Containment Unit, a unit focused on capturing Inhumans before they caused harm to innocent people.

Hunting Inhumans
"We had him pinned down but the target escaped." "He didn't escape; he was extracted."

- Banks and Rosalind Price

Price ordered Banks to led a team of agents from the Advanced Threat Containment Unit to hunt down and capture Joey Gutierrez, who was accidentally causing havoc with the power to melt metal. Although Banks' team almost captured the man, they were interrupted by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team, which extracted Gutierrez. Price arrived on the scene as Banks was keeping the public away; he updated Price on the situation and she ordered him to clean up the scene without making any noise and keeping the media away from the situation. Back at their headquarters, Price and Banks discussed his failure to capture Joey Gutierrez. As they talked about how many Inhumans were appearing across the country, Price looked at the room filled with the bodies of the Inhumans they had found; many of whom had been found dead and with a hole blasted in the center of their chests. Price made it clear that she was not happy with the results her team were bringing in and that she found it unacceptable that one of the subjects had gotten away and insisted that Banks find him.

Ambush on a Train
"You're not an easy person to pin down." "Really? 'Cause you were no trouble at all."

- Phil Coulson and Rosalind Price

Fully aware that S.H.I.E.L.D. director Phil Coulson was hunting her, Price arranged for a trap. She set up a fake routine for herself so Coulson and Lance Hunter would try to capture her on a train; when they did, Banks and his team drew their guns and handcuffed the pair. Price and Coulson spoke about their history, with Coulson explaining he knew about her changing agencies and Price being aware of the T.A.H.I.T.I. Program. Price demanded to know why S.H.I.E.L.D. was killing the Inhumans they were finding; surprised at the accusation, Coulson insisted that his people were not responsible for the killings. Both Price and Coulson then received a phone call, which Coulson noted meant neither of them could be behind the killings if they both being informed at the same time. Price left Banks to guard Coulson and Hunter while she answered the phone. She was informed that a mysterious attacker had attacked a hospital and killed guards. As she spoke on the phone, a loud crash shook the train; when Price went to investigate, she found Coulson and Hunter had escaped and ripped the train apart in the process. Following up the call she had received on the train before Coulson's escape, Price traveled to the hospital, accompanied by Banks and his team of agents. Once there, they discovered that the monstrous attacker had ripped the hospital apart, killing security guards, using the same deadly energy beam they had been investigating, terrifying the patents and doctors. Price found Banks speaking to Doctor Tina Adams, who reported that her co-worker Lincoln Campbell had battled the attacker within the hospital alongside another woman with devastating powers.

Hunting Lincoln Campbell
"He didn't just disappear, unless he did. He can't do that can?" "No, electrics his thing."

- Rosalind Price and Banks discuss Lincoln Campbell

When an attempt to bring Lincoln Campbell into custody failed, Price made the decision to first go to the FBI and other intelligence agencies before going public for the man-hunt, realising Campbell's picture to the news. She then had a meeting with Banks in her car where they discussed what had happened and how to proceed, Price questioned if Campbell had the power to vanish but Banks assured her that he just had the power to control electricity.

As they were talking a call from the White House came in, but when Price answered it, it turned out to be Phil Coulson who was attempting to get a meeting with Price, questioning why she had gone to the FBI instead of asking for his advice. Coulson suggested that the two of them meet for a peaceful discussion on their missions. As she spoke to Coulson, Banks got a call giving him Lincoln Campbell's location and Price ordered him to bring him in. Price then agreed to meet with Coulson.

Uneasy Alliance
"He got away and I've made assurances." "I assure you that if you insist on taking my agents in you will start a war. I will devote all the resources and manpower of S.H.I.E.L.D. to crushing your agency." "It's not personal, it's work, and right now I need to show results."

- Rosalind Pice and Phil Coulson

Price drove to the coast-side where she found Phil Coulson waiting for her. At first they shared small talk about Price's car and she teased Coulson about his prosthetic hand. Changing the subject, Coulson informed Price that she was going about her work all wrong and by panicking the public, the situation was at risk as turning violent very quickly.

They discussed how the ATCU was founded due to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s implosion, noting that the public needs to feel safe by seeing an organisation protecting them. Coulson told her that his team knew how to handle these threats and tried to convince her to allow him to bring Lincoln Campbell in so nobody risked getting hurt but Price refused as Campbell was too dangerous. When Coulson told her he would be safe with his team, Price assured him that they were not HYDRA and would not harm him. Coulson suggested her reasons were more to do with the pressure she was getting from Matthew Ellis to show results or their work, which she did not deny.

Coulson changed the subject to discuss why the ATCU had not released Daisy Johnson's picture; Price confirmed she did not know who Johnson was but knew she worked for Coulson. They began working out a deal to keep her identity secret and Coulson agreed to let her take Campbell. However when Campbell escaped, Price ordered Banks to take Johnson instead. Coulson refused to allow this and threatened to go to war; instead, they agreed to let Johnson go free in exchange for Coulson working as an advisor for Price. The agreement went ahead and Price later called Coulson in his office to check if he had given her his real phone number.
