Martin Westfield, DFC
Duke of Westmorland
Retired Racing Driver
Westfield left the Royal Air Force to embark on a successful career as a racing driver. His natural flair and taste for adventure garnered multiple championship victories in car and motorcycle races all over the world. Twenty years later, semi-retired and rapidly building a property portfolio, his international sojourns and unique contacts have made him an exceedingly useful asset to the Secret Intelligence Service. It could be catastrophic if something was to happen to him...
Alessandra Westfield
Duchess of Westmorland
Motorsport Manager
As the niece of a legendary Italian racing driver herself, Alessandra was exposed to motorsport at an early age. Starting her own management agency, Martin was her first client and she carefully nurtured his career on both two wheels and four. Since their marriage, Alessandra continues to plough herself into her husband's varied enterprises and often escorts him on business trips all over the world.
Vasili Andreyev
General-Colonel, Russian Army
Commander of the Western Military District with headquarters in Saint Petersburg, Andreyev started his military career as an officer in the much revered 27th Special Purpose (Spetsnaz) Regiment, based in the far eastern port city of Provideniya. Now, holding the lives of tens of thousand of men and women in his hands, the seasoned veteran is wary of his President's expansionist policies, especially since he remembers how the man behaved under his command in Chechnya.
Helmut Radlinger
First Deputy, Östlicherinformationsdienst (OID)
Once a senior official in East Germany's feared Ministry for State Security, Radlinger's career in espionage continued for a new highly secretive organisation setup by old Communist hardliners. Rising to become the OID's First Deputy, he is known merely as 'The Voice' because his subordinates only ever hear him at the end of a telephone line. His objective to discover Manuela and the secrets she possesses is as ruthless as anything he was involved in during the dark days of the Cold War.
