Colonial Terrorist Nation

Benjamin Netanyahu – No need to change this guy at all. Real life sleaze bag. Sleaze bag in the story.

Robur The Zionist

I’m going to do the most ridiculous thing possible:

Upgrade the actual Al Queda in this fictional world into the fictional threat level that Donald Rumsfeld and others imagined that they had in real life including and especially the Tora Bora Mountain Fortress.

A plan that shouldn’t have worked got through the security of a country that didn’t want to see it coming…

Osama Bin Laden in all of his *hides behind the ladies* glory

Those summoned by Scheherezade’s Wish or those who were already alive and answered the call, with or without knowing it.

[Yet to be revealed]

Savama is the secret service of Iran

Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Imam Ali Khamenei – Based 100% on the real man. Out of respect for Iran’s people and humility for what we have done, he will not directly appear in the stories nor will I write any fictional lines for the man. Orders that might hypothetically come from him will instead come from a fictional underling. I understand the dynamic, but as an American, I should not be using his name or image lightly.  “Mass killings of human beings are catastrophic acts which are condemned wherever they may happen and whoever the perpetrators and the victims may be” – Ali Khamenei speaking on the 9/11 attacks (REAL WORDS)

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS:

Hossein Mousavi – The Deputy Director of Intelligence. Extremely stern, served in intelligence since the days of the Shah. He doesn’t like jokes, and can silence a room with one word.

Reza Karimi – Senior Analyst, Technical Operations. A kind man who stands out among his peers for his more progressive beliefs.

Colonel Farhad Nazari – Runs the miliary. A sharp, no nonsense man. He finds humor in beating Iran’s enemies.

Leila Ahmoud – Signals Intelligence, one of the few women who have advanced to her level. She was trained by the former Kaveh and has Hossein’s trust for her knowledge.

Dead Kaveh – ????

New Kaveh – ????

    May, 2001 Deep in Tehran a red light cast gloomy glow over the VEVAK counterintelligence room where the Deputy Director for Strategic Intelligence, Hossein Mousavi waited for his men.

  • A sincere apology to Chinese readers

    Like many Westerners, I had been over many years sucked into my own takes on Japanese culture like everyone else over here, and have long used the “catgirl” trope. The difference is I tried to ingrain my trope more into the lore and history of Japan but I fell into a common trap for Westerners…
