Whilst studying Russian language and History of Modern Art at university, Wayborn achieved noticeable success in target-shooting, and represented France as vice-captain of the target-shooting team in the Olympics, where they got through to the final.  This caught the eye of Pierre Simon, and she was recruited as Special Policewoman attached to the Ambassador.

Wayborn plans to return to the University of Paris after completing the current assignment.
She speaks her mind easily about her likes and dislikes, and she feels that she must always check things herself.  Other agents respect her flexible response to events, and her ability of always carrying out her duties has been recognized by her superiors. 

French Ambassador
Name:	Pierre Simon
Nationality:	French

Pierre Simon worked as a ministerial secretary in the old Gaullist republican alliance, and afterwards traveled the world as an aide to the French UN ambassador.    Following the inauguration of the Chirac administration in the early 90’s Simon was appointed as French Ambassador to Russia to deal with the turbulent situation there, and this is his current post.  

This trip is his final job as ambassador, and he expects to play an active role in the business world after his term of office expires. 

He is single-minded, and views himself, and is viewed by others, as being a stickler for duty. However, he is considerate towards those around him, and also has a good reputation within government circles as being a good father. 

French Ambassador's Wife
Name:	Catherine Simon
Nationality:	French
Age:	45
Height:	168 cm

Catherine Simon is the daughter of Jean-Claude Harvard, one of France's most prominent businessmen.   Duke Philips, a mutual acquaintance of her father and Pierre introduced her to her husband, at one of the UN Ambassador's parties. 

Although her association with Pierre, who was not from as good a family, took those around her by surprise, it was backed strongly by her father, and they were married 7 months after the party.   They waited until Pierre could take a break, and went for a two-month honeymoon from 1st December the same year. 

Catherine started watercolour painting, which has been her hobby for the last 20 years.  
She has a settled nature, and possesses a sensible view of things.

French Ambassador's Daughter
Name:	Jane Simon
Nationality:	French
Age:	11
Height:	142 cm

Jane is the Simons' only daughter.  Everybody loves her, from her parents to all those around her, and in particular her grandfather Mr Harvard. 

She was brought up in an extremely privileged environment, and has grown up to be a fine upstanding child. On the other hand, perhaps she is a little headstrong.

Jane fell in love with thoroughbred horses when her mother took her to visit the riding stables, and since then she never misses her fortnightly riding lessons.

Secretary to the Ambassador
Name:	Philip Mason
Nationality:	French
Age:	39
Height:	185 cm

Born as the first son of the wine-buying Mason family. He did his military service in Germany and also received police agent training after he returned to Paris. Following this, he was assigned to the Embassy in Russia.

Mason was appointed as Secretary to the French Ambassador due to the strong recommendation he received from when he worked as an interpreter for the previous Ambassador to Russia.

Currently, he has been promoted to the position of First Secretary to Pierre.  Although at first glance he appears somewhat timid, in reality he is quite ambitious; it seems that he feels inferior compared to Pierre's position and is jealous of his happy family life.

Headquarters Commander
Name:	Mary Banks
Nationality:	American
Age:	58
Height:	170 cm

Mary Banks holds the most senior position within the European headquarters of the UN International Counter-terrorism Organisation.     She was encouraged to work for the National Security Agency, and although she has no actual combat experience she has demonstrated strong abilities in strategic planning, which has produced good results in many cases.   

When the international counter-terrorism organisation was established in the UN, she joined as the US representative, and assumed command of the organisation. 

Although she is usually a reserved and quiet woman, she can promptly analyze any situation and quickly issue instructions regarding the necessary response.    She frequently disagrees with her current assistant, Deputy Commander Eric and she is extremely concerned about the formation of two separate factions within the organisation. 

In principle, she believes that human life must take priority in any mission. She does not have any children. 

Radar Operator
Name:	Billy MacGuire
Nationality:	French
Age:	26
Height:	181 cm

Because his father was a computer engineer, he loved playing with machinery since he was a child. 

Despite his parents’ expectations of his going to university, he surprised everyone by attending French military college.   After graduation, he was seconded to NATO forces and took up duties as a radar operator.   He has a deep knowledge of computers, and his abilities were highly valued for this mission; he was entrusted with the operational duties in the Blue Harvest radar room. 

MacGuire seems to behave roughly, and sometimes other people around him suffer through his impudent actions.    When drunk, he often badmouths people, breaks things and behaves violently. In the end, though, he always ends up in tears.   However, he is a good guy when he is not drunk, and somehow manages to be well liked by his colleagues.  

Terrorist Leader
Name:	Boris Zugoski
Nationality:	Russian
Age:	45
Height:	188 cm

Zugoski volunteered for military service after leaving high school, and worked his way up to the intelligence corps.    After joining the KGB, Zugoski served as a special agent overseas, in order to investigate and acquire military weapons throughout the world.

Over zealous, he loved his home country so much that he exceeded his brief more than once or twice.   Each time his superiors had to resign, and he would be transferred.   The KGB kept him employed because they were afraid of what would happen if he were working for someone else.

However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he turned completely and became well known as a merchant of death; providing weapons to regional insurgents.   He will do anything for a successful result, and seeks profit everywhere.  Zugoski is somewhat self-indulgent and loves to show off. 

Terrorist Gang Lieutenant A 
Name:	Andrei Mikhalkov
Nationality:	Russian
Weapon:	Crossbow
Age:	41
Height:	194 cm

A member of 'The Knights of the Apocalypse' terrorist group.   Mikhalkov assisted many times in KGB assassinations during the Soviet period.   He was active overseas behind the scenes as Boris' right-hand man immediately before the fall of the Soviet Union.   His assassination techniques were well known within the KGB, and he was feared even among his colleagues.   

Despite his brutal appearance, he prefers well-planned and precise assassinations - his crossbow skills are equaled by none.    Maybe due to this, he is supremely confident and is always proud to be in the forefront of any fight.

Terrorist Gang Lieutenant B
Name:	Vincent Rossa
Nationality:	Colombian
Weapon:	Flamethrower
Age:	36
Height:	178 cm

A member of 'The Knights of the Apocalypse' terrorist group.     Part of Rossa’s youth was spent in a weapon-smuggling cartel, and this is where he learned how to handle weapons.     After that he wandered the globe from one conflict to another as a mercenary, and this is his first taste of terrorist activity.   He is very short-tempered, and because his method of killing is so crude, even other killers dislike him.  He especially favours killing by flame-thrower, and his nickname is 'Talking Napalm'.

Terrorist Gang Lieutenant C. 
Name:	Nikita Andropov
Nationality:	Russian (?)
Weapon:	Railgun
Age:	?
Height:	207 cm

Nikita Andropov comes from the old Soviet Army. He was demoted further and further downwards for repeatedly assaulting his superiors, and when he left the army due to drug-dealing within his squad, his skills earned him a place in Boris' private command where he took on the role of Boris' bodyguard.

His character is as you may imagine, quite violent, and he enjoys massed gun battles very much.
