"Admittedly it's not quite as precise as my original nano mask, but regardless, I think you're going to find it extremely useful for any on the go S.H.I.E.L.D.... or HYDRA... operations?"
―Selwyn to Grant Ward[src]

Selwyn being kidnapped by Agent 33

Selwyn went to a restaurant to have dinner. When Rhonda brought him his check, he prepared to leave. The moment he stood up from his table, a couple then jumped up with handguns and told no one to move. The man shot the security camera as the woman held Selwyn at gunpoint. Selwyn offered her his wallet with $200 inside but she refused. Removing her sunglasses, the woman told Selwyn that she wanted him to fix her scarred face.[1]

Agent 33 tests the Photostatic Veil on Selwyn

"Please. I know this is difficult, but look on the bright side; you can be anyone you want."
―Selwyn to Agent 33[src]

At the hotel room where Agent 33 and Grant Ward were staying, Selwyn implanted a contact lense in her eye and a microchip on the skin of Agent 33. The lens was a facial scanning program. He stabilized the sound of the Photostatic Veil so it no longer sounded computerized. Selwyn had Agent 33 test his repairs, but when Ward asked him about its removal, he said that he could not remove the nano-mask from her face. Selwyn told Agent 33 that now she could be anyone was wanted to be for S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA.

Despite cooperating, Selwyn was killed by Ward, who explained to Agent 33 that it was important to silence him.[1]
