Agent Name: Daniel Grey

Agent Country of Origin: United Kingdom

D.O.B: 21/11/1961

ID No.: #0678366

D.O.D: 1991

Prior (Cold War) Employment: UK Army (Engineer)

Current Employment: Barman at The Salty Cervice Inn

Agent Biography: Born in Brixton, London, Daniel's early life was a mixed state of affairs. A good family provided him a warm place to stay, but his close group of friends usually found themselves on the wrong side of the law. Nothing more serious than common assault, but enough to gain a bit of a record in his teenage years. School was a nuisance and there was little to do outside of it, and few prospects for a decent job for a lad of his disposition.

So the army was inevitable really. Never mind the fact it was a running theme in his family (dating back to his great-grandfather), but really they were the only people who would even take him on. At the age of 18, in 1979, Daniel joined the Royal Engineers, got shaped up something fierce by his Sergeant Major and learned the trade as a Mechanical Engineer. He bloody loved it. The grease, the cogs, all the bits in-between. He'd never had any idea how much he'd like it, nor how much of a knack he had for the task. The combat side of things was just seen as a necessary evil in his eyes. Something he had to go through, but never really took much notice of.

When the Falklands War kicked off, Daniel was shipped off to the front. This was where his 'power' would shine through. During the Battle of Goose Green, Daniel was taken by surprise by an Argentine conscript soldier. The bullet, which should have been his end, passed straight through and into the rock formation behind him. With both men baffled, the enemy soldier dropped his weapon and surrendered, terrified of what he had witnessed. The event was also viewed by Daniel's squad and commanding officer, who included it in a report. This little known report was picked up by Project Deimos, who subtlety took the young soldier aside when the Falklands was done.

They explained their purpose, goals, aims, mission as it were and implored Daniel to sign-up. He did so and gained himself some valuable experience in the process. Unknown to him (but very much known to the Project) his grand-father had been involved decades ago after exhibiting the same power (though being able to use it much better). His father had also been monitored, but after showing no signs of inheriting the power, the Project deemed it not to be hereditary. It seemed it had just skipped a generation.

After intensive training, Daniel was deployed in the Gulf War to 'test out' his newly honed powers. Though he still couldn't Phase separate body parts, he could still confer the ability to objects as big as a jeep (even preventing one from being hit by a rocket), and he proved a terror at breaching rooms being able to literally jump through a wall and take the enemy at complete unawares. Though a massive success, by the time he returned it was all over. Project Deimos was finished. The war was over before it had even started. Daniel was, of course, relieved. No-one wanted a mass nuclear war. But there was still that little niggling part of him which resented not being able to really flex his muscles as it were.

He, along with other agents, was shipped off to Teplee, where he settled into the role of a Barman. He had been offered a mechanic position, but refused. His love for all things mechanical was now to remain as his own little hobby, and no-one else's business. That isn't to say people don't ask him for help with little tasks.
Psych Evaluation: Daniel is a crusader with no cause to fight anymore. He is, essentially, obsolete and this weighs heavily on the man. The thought manifests itself as him being rather dour, continually surly and generally a rather unpleasant chap to anyone who he doesn't consider a friend. People only talk to them if they absolutely want a drink, or if they have a mechanical problem they just can't fix. Otherwise, Daniel has just about distanced himself from everyone else, even former lovers and friends.

Physical features: A mop of messy dirt-blonde hair grows just past his ears but is well-maintained, as is his beard (which seems mandatory for most men in Teplee). His deep set green eyes are constantly hidden underneath a scowl, his strong jaw and chin covered by previously mentioned beard. Though having lost some muscles from negligence, Daniel is still physically fit (for his age). He usually wears a variety of checkered-shirt, dirty old jeans and simple brown leather boots. These are accompanied by a bomber jacket and padded cap when outside, as well as sturdy leather gloves.

‘Lassus’ Power: 'Phasing' - Daniel possesses the power to become incorporeal for a stretch of time. His longest recorded time is six hours, at which point he needed a toilet break and stopped, so it is unknown if there is any time limit. He is able to pass through solid objects, or allow them to pass through him, whether it be a stone, bullet, rocket or person. As previously mentioned the largest object he can confer this power to is a jeep, and he is yet to learn how to get the power to affect just certain parts of his body.

Purposes this ability served during wartime: Enforcer/Combat Operative. Daniel would have been tasked with taking part in raids, ambushes and other combat related operations. He may also have been used for minor infiltration ops.

Notes: Daniel maintains an impressive fleet of vehicles, with two jeeps, a car and a motorbike, all lovingly maintained. He's also partial to some hunting when the season is right, and therefore owns a hunting rifle.

Agent Name: Linchev "Link" Stanislavski (Лынчев Станисла́вский)

Agent Country of Origin: Soviet Russia

D.O.B: February 2nd, 1960

ID No.: 4710111

D.O.D: 1983 (after serving in Afghanistan)

Prior (Cold War) Employment: A doctor, trained in Volgograd and serving in Afghanistan as a field medic and surgeon.

Current Employment: Currently still a doctor, now running the local infirmary atop one of the many hills of Teplee.

Agent Biography: From the moment Linchev Stanislavski had been born into this world- In Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd) Hospital, on February 2nd, 1960- he was what the KGB and CIA regarded as ‘a noteworthy subject’.

His situation, and lineage, was quite uncanny, really.

His father, Sergeievich Stanislavski- otherwise known as ‘минута человек’ (Minuta Chelovek – The Minute Man)- had served during the Battle of Stalingrad, and utilised a Lassus power of his own: The ability to slow time to a stop for one whole minute.
During this brief pause, he’d made his name by slitting the throats of six German snipers in what seemed to be the blink of an eye.
But this was not the only extraordinary factor in Linchev’s genetic history, not by far.

His mother, Constance Stanislavski (née Balakirev), was a member of the Komanda Sneg Yastreb operating in Eastern Germany during the ’53 uprising.
She too possessed a Lassus power: The ability to move at an elevated speed for a short period of time (if she operated the ability for too long, she’d burn up and fall unconscious.)
Constance was a rugged, iron-forged example of a Russian woman: With parents like Linchev’s, how could he ever grow up to be anything but a soldier?

… Linchev graduated from St. Lenin’s Medical School in Volgograd, 1978 with honours, and a perfect surgical record.
Despite his military lineage, Linchev was a clement soul: Since he was very young, he’d always exhibited an interest in helping people, as opposed to harming them.
And in that respect, his parents had been a massive influence upon him: The Lassus ability they passed onto him bestowed the remarkable ability to perform quick and efficient surgeries, often without the need to even spill blood.
He loathed blood. And loathed the cold war into which he’d been born.

When he was twenty, he rejected an invitation to join the Komanda Sneg Yastreb in favour of studying instead to become a field medic.
The allies had thought, perhaps, this would make him an easier subject to recruit: However, upon first interviewing him, the Western powers found that- despite his hatred for warfare, and the Sneg Yastreb- he was a fond believer in the potential of Communism, and not keen to betray his motherland…

Not until he qualified for conscription, at any rate: In late 1980, Linchev was deployed to the Soviet Warzone in Afghanistan to serve as a field medic for those battling the Mujahideen in the name of glorious communism.
It didn’t take long for Linchev to become enlightened to the violent nature of his nation’s cause; POWs were tortured, and he was forbidden to care for them; Soldiers died in his arms on the field, be they Afghan or Russian, and Linchev witnessed intense acts of cruelty.

When he returned to the Soviet Union for temporary leave in May of 1983, he quickly sought out the agent that had originally attempted to recruit him for Project Deimos, and agreed vigorously to assisting West in opposing the Communist agenda.
The following month, Linchev was taken to Czechoslovakia under the guise of attending a medical conference, before being transported to Austria, and flown from there to the United States.
He’d said goodbye only to his parents.
His father had resented him for abandoning the “righteous cause” of Communism, but had refused to turn him in to the Stasi, for he still remained his son…
His mother was proud, because- quite frankly- she always preferred to fight on the winning side, and the West looked to be building its new army well.

After Deimos’ dissolution in the early 90s, Linchev made no attempts to return to his homeland: Upon learning that Teplee’s clinic was totally without an administrator, he’d promptly volunteered himself for the position.
The cold was not dissimilar from his homeland, and he found his talents appreciated far more in his new community, although accusations of his supposed communist disposition still fly in from time to time.

Psych Evaluation: Although Linchev witnessed some great atrocities in Afghanistan (which has been described as “The Soviet Union’s Vietnam”), he is of a relatively stable disposition.
He’s cheery and sociable, although he does quite noticeably grow fearful whenever anyone accuses him of maintaining communist sympathies, as the attitudes of cold war- for him, at least- never truly ended.
Unlike a lot of soldiers, he revels in these times of peace: Teplee is all he ever dreamed of, a quiet little town in which to practice his healing trade.
All the same, however, he is painfully aware of his identity as a foreigner in this country, and, to some, as the enemy.

Physical features: Standing at 5’9 and weighing somewhere around nine stone, Linchev is a skinny soul.
His skin is pale, but without blemishes, and his cheekbones are noticeably high.
Although his eyes are a milky blue, they’re not immediately apparent behind his round-framed glasses, which tend to attract glare almost constantly.
His hair is shaggy and black, and falls just short of his chin: It’s very clean, though, all the same.

‘Lassus’ Power: Linchev is capable of slowing down his own perception of time to a crawl, meaning that- in the eyes of all those around him- he's moving at a highly elevated speed. It's using this ability that Linchev was capable of becoming such a prolific surgeon, as he can slow the bleeding of a patient to a near-stop, at least in his own eyes.

Purposes this ability served during wartime: Linchev was to be deployed as a field medic, capable of performing complex surgeries on the battlefield, even whilst bullets were flying.

Notes: Having received no formal language lessons, Linchev instead learned English by watching British period-dramas (such as 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Pygmalion'.).
He still watches them to this day, although obviously he does so by himself.
When asked about this, he'll deny it and instead insist that he was taught English "behind The Iron Curtain."

Freshened up my character a little, nothing major - I just elaborated on his history and added some additional information at the bottom.
