description:
Felix has short brown hair with scattered blonde highlights, and an auburn goatee. What he usually likes to wear would include solid boots, cargo jeans, turtle necks and light jackets, usually of the expensive kind. He wears a pair of round mirrored sunglasses, just because he likes them. He possesses a strong sense of honour, and likes to do what he thinks is right but wouldn't let his personal opinion get in the way of business for just any reason. He also respects his opponent, for without them there is no conflict and thus no work, and he certainly values his work. This makes him quite merciful at times when facing what he considers a worthy opponent, but he can also be quite brutal when facing those who he'd consider dishonourable.

Felix is a gamer at heart (though he doesn't get much opportunity to indulge his inner gamer), and enjoys a wide variety of electronic games on just about any media, its because of this that he enjoys a good challenge. He also shows an interest for firearms outside of work, taking particular interest in German made firearms. Because he has had such a demanding military career for most of his life he's had little interaction with women in a relationship stance, thus can be quite nervous around them when the situation is not a professional one. Nonetheless he always tries to be a gentleman. His loyalty to his comrades is unquestionable, and he does not take to betrayal quite well.

His car, which he has named 'Darkness', is black with bronze coloured rims. His reasoning for the name is that no matter how fast light travels, darkness will always be there first.

history:
Felix was born in the fairly remote regions of central Australia, and during his childhood he gained a familiarity with driving and firearms. He liked in particular going for rides on one of the family friend's helicopters, these trips were usually when they went out to hunt wild horses. They'd only kill wild horses because they were pests and thrived in the region, kangaroos were often the same way though they didn't use the helicopter to hunt them. He was in no way hindered educationally by his remoteness, and took advantage of a stable satellite connection to the internet to socialise on message boards and chat rooms.

After his final year in high school he soon joined the army where he quickly became a part of the SAS as a helicopter pilot, this didn't satisfy him enough though and he transferred into the ground troops for a while, gaining valuable experience while with them. After some time he became bored with the lack of action the Australian SAS saw and left to find employment elsewhere as a mercenary pilot with a number of other useful skills. He got many jobs under his belt and soon was, to his enjoyment, very financially stable, but he never had the time to spend even half of it.

Much to his pleasure he came into the service of an old friend whom he knew while doing his final couple of years in high school in Melbourne. This friend offered him a part in clearing a small number of weapons of mass destruction from a hiding place in the middle east. The word was that they were left by a splinter cell of the russian military, in case they could be used at a later date. Felix was told that their operation was being funded by an anonymous government to get the weapons before terrorists do and get them to an exchange point so they could be given to people who could dispose of them safely. His friend theorised that the Russian government did not want to be blaimed for any terrorist actions made possible by rogue elements and were discreetly cleaning up. Felix couldn't help but agree.

The operation went off without a hitch, and the delivery was made to the exchange point. Before they were a kilometer away they were attacked by the people they had just worked for, only a handful of people survived the helicopter crash and they were halved again by the time they fought their way out. Felix was sure he identified them as Spetznaz, but he couldn't be sure, he suspected that the remnants of the splinter cell had hired them to retrieve the weapons for them. His old friend hadn't survived to be able to add some input, he was killed in the helicopter crash. Felix himself had shattered his left arm in the crash, and needed multiple pins and a metal plate inserted to fully recover. Currently his left arm is alright except for the scarring but he shows a lot of favour in using his right.

Felix's dreams of avenging the betrayal at the hands of his former employers were shattered when the acting commander back at the company headquarters made the decision to break up, and from there the remnants of the mercenary company scattered to the corners of the world. Felix went back to being employed as an individual before he was hired for a contract with the African branch of the French Foreign Legion. He made a good impression on them, and was recommended to the African Alliance when they were recruiting for their spec-ops division. Felix was offered a permanent position. It was certainly a change from what he was used to, be he accepted the offer and has adapted well to his most recent job. He especially enjoys all the Bond-like gadgets.

Russell Jones PhD, BSc
Codename: Infinity
Nationality: British
Age: 19
Chamber: Room 39
Department: Computer Espionage
Class: Snoop
Level: 2
Languages: English

Bio
Russell was born into typical middle class English family and had an extraordinarly uneventful childhood. However, one thing that always seemed to make him stand out was his knack for working with numbers and puzzels, even at a very young age. For instance, he was regulary completing The Times Crossword before most children his age could complete any crossword. His excellence at scholastic pursuits led to the second prize in the European Junior Maths Challenge at age 13 and he stormed through his A-Levels despite taking them 2 years early. He then completed his BSc in maths at the Open University with honours, before he completed his MPhil in Theoretical Physics at Trinity, Cambridge at the tender age of 19. Fresh from the educational ladder, Russell found himself having no idea on where he wished to go next. Writing a book? Lecturing? Research? However, this was all solved for him when he was approached by Archer. A combination of the sense of purpose, attractive lifestyle and even more attractive paycheck swayed him. The rest, they say, is history...

Despite being ridiculously intelligent, Russell is neither boring nor patronising. If you met him by chance you would think him like any normal 19 year old, maybe marginaly mature for his age. He has a real interest in mathematics, physics and puzzles, but also hugely enjoys playing and watching cricket (his father was a decent county player for Hampshire) and also a keen interest in computers (he has built and modified nearly a hundered various computer systems). Russell is laidback and somewhat lazy when there's nothing for him to do, yet very dedicated and hard working when there is. As for the espionage scene, this is Russell's first foray into it. He is a fresh faced newcomer and, bar a the small amount of information he has managed to glean off his new superiors, totally unprepared for what might follow. Something that Russell mentioned that interested Archer was that through Uni he got to know Mike Schaum really well; he is son of Frick Schaum who is part owner of the international villa company VillaWorld. He is fairly sure that with a bit of wrangling he could get a place to stay for a few days pretty much anywhere in the world.

"...and for Sunday, the sky will be clear, and the temperature will stay in the season normals.

-Thank you, Marie-Ève. Thanks to have listen the CBC news, next, you'll be able to see Manhattan, a movie of Woody Allen..."

A man in pyjamas who was sitting in front of the TV took the remote control and shut down the TV. He looked at his watch, and it was telling him it was nearly 11 o'clock. He stood up and start to walk to the stairs, when the noise of a car could be heard in the street. The car was stopping. The man turned around and walk closer to the window. He saw the car. A man with a trench coat was getting out of it, and he was walking up to his door. He knocked at the door. The man in pyjamas walk up to the door and opened it.

"In which honor do Patrick Connendoyle, chef responsible of the Quebec division of The Company come visit me at 11 o'clock in the night?

-Sorry, but knowing you, Dominic, I knew you would still be awake.

-I was going to bed.

-You surprise me, before, you couldn't sleep before midnight.

-That was before Gabrielle. While I needed to give her drink at 3 o'clock, I needed to sleep before and after. Now, I still got the habit to go to bed earlier. Anyway, I doubt you are here to hear about my family's problems.

-No, not exactly.

-What you mean, not exactly?

-Do you have some coffee? I really need to stay awake, my night just start.

-And so why would you come here, if you had so much job."

Dominic led the way up to the kitchen. He started to prepare the coffee. His guest just sat at the table, and put his document case on it.

"Because the job I am doing include talking to you.

-You are not coming here to offer me to go back. You know, with Gabrielle, I won't come back. She needs her father, and even more since her mother died.

-Well, the good news is, she is alive.

-What?"

Dominic dropped the cups he was taking. They shattered on the ground in a noise that filled the silence of the night.

"If that's a joke, it is not funny, Pat."

Patrick openned his attaché case and pulled out a picture.

"It was taken one month ago. I just get my hand on it.

-It is her. But why I didn't heard of her? And where is she now?

-We don't know. The picture was taken a month ago, in Columbia.

-Any relation with who I am thinking about.

-Yes, all make us think she was kidnapped by him.

-Why? He would have contacted me if he wanted to put some pression on me. And it isn't like I would have done much damage on him, I never work on his case yet.

-It isn't you, the target, but her father.

-Wait a second. That's just ridiculous. You just ressurect my wife, and now her father?

-He never died. He never took the plane. It is someone else. But he had a hand on someone who could play with the corpse identification document. We have exumated Elizabeth's father body today. His tooth print are not good.

-But why?

-Because of he is one of the best chemist of America. He must have been kidnapped to work on harder and more adictive drugs. But it seems he was lacking some motivation, so he took his girl. I don't even know if he knows your true identity.

-And what do you plan to do.

-Me? Nothing. It's out of my juridication. I cover only the Quebec, and she was seen in Columbia, that's far. And I doubt the Northen Department of South America will do anything. Attacking him is like attacking the president of the USA, with the exception he doesn't care for the law at all. At least, the President will try to keep all hidden from public.

-And now, what you suggest.

-You come back and work for The Company. You are a great man, and your skills are lacking to us. We accepted you take a break after the announcement of the death of your wife, but you know well, you can't get out of an Intelligence agency like that. And your only chance to get her back, it is to come with us.

-The stick and the carrots, heh? I'll think about it.

-Ok, but don't take too much time, you start tomorow at 7h30. And you can come with your kid, we have people who will take care of him, and he will make new friends. See you tomorrow."

Dominic stayed in the kitchen while patrick left the house. He was unable to sleep for all the night. Now, Dominic was wondering what just happen. It looks like his life had taken a whole new turn. Elizabeth was still alive, Gabriel may see again her mother, but at the same time, he may lose his father.

He is the model gentleman when it comes to public occasions.

History: Born in a London Slum, Robert quickly learned that it was much better to talk his way out of a fight then actualy fight the fight. After a brief stint as a salesman, porter, waiter, and half a dozen other jobs, Robert joined Shadowforce Archer. He quickly proved his worth as an agent in training, his personal skills allowing him to get past many obstacles without blowing them up.

Ronald Jacobs

Codename: Jed

Former Army Ranger who went into a few too many missions with really bad intel. He decided that it would be better if he could alleviate the problem at the source. He signed on with The Company as a recon/enforcer type. He is well versed in combat operations, though he is also quite able in stealth.

His personal background is pretty simple. He was brought up in Laramie, Wyoming. Never a particular star in school he enlisted in the army since it beat working in one of the mines or punching cows.
