Astarte Engima
Code Name: Star Childe
Public Information
You are the Service Bureau Chief for Iraq.
You were born in Palestinian territory and grew up in Egypt under the shadow of the Great Pyramid. You served in the Egyptian Armed Forces as well as a Palestinian Freedom Fighter. You have received fifteen Medals of Valor, more than any other member of the Service.
Your Field Specialty has been insertion assignments which place you undercover in enemy or criminal territory. You then strike with the full force of Allah and rain your own holy fire down upon the wrong-doers.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait, you were sent into Baghdad where you infiltrated Sadaam's forces and transmitted very valuable data for Operation; Desert Storm. You were captured and spent a year in an Iraqi Prisoner of War camp.
Private Information
You are a member of the Hashishan, an ancient order of Holy Assassins. You would give your life at a moment's notice for your cause . . . an Arab world. However, you must bide your time for now as the Hashishan slowly move their pieces about the giant chess set that is world politics and intrigue.
In your initiation into the Hashishan you partook of special herbs, spices, and drugs which physically transported you to Paradise where you saw the Prophet Mohammed and the leader of the Hashishan in conference. You were served ambrosia and nectar by hundreds of servant girls who catered to your every whim. Everything was wonderfully clear, sensuous, and sensual. Upon your return to the physical plain the voice of Allah spoke to you . . . "Serve the Hashishan and serve Me and upon your Death you shall forego Judgement and return to Paradise." You have been zealous in your service ever since.
The current head of the Hashishan is Sadaam Hussein, the leader of Iraq.
Recently you have been working with Henry Chaplin in a scheme to export Chinese opium and Middle East hashish and marijuana into the United States. From your view, this is part of an effort to weaken American society although Chaplin believes you are working with him - and one other accomplice whose identity you do not know at present - so that Chaplin can gain enough funds to cement his control over the Service (he may be claiming retirement but you know he hopes to wield the reigns of power well into the next century).
Goals
Find out who Chaplin's other co-conspirator is so that you can better control the situation. Become the new World Service Chief. Eliminate any competition.
