XOF was originally a covert support unit for its CIA counterpart FOX during the 1960s but later secretly became Cipher's covert strike force from the 1970s to 1984. During this time, they were led by a heavily scarred assassin known by the codename of "Skull Face." then later became the Special Ops unit of the Imperialist Alliance, leaded by Morrigan. The group's logo utilized an inverted image of the fox that was used by the (then defunct) FOX Unit. During the 1980s, missions of higher priority were assigned to their new special forces team called the Parasite Unit.
