Seeking:

James (Jim) Warnock:

30s, Caucasian man, American. Works for the CIA—sent to Afghanistan to finance and arm anti-Soviet Afghan soldiers.  Extremely intelligent, sharp—charismatic, with a definite sense of humor.  Fearless in the face of confrontation.

Dmitri Gromov:

40s, Caucasian man, Russian.  Head KGB officer in the region.  Cynical, intelligent and darkly humorous.  A life-long soldier, he feels sharply the prolonged separation between him and his family. 

Abdullah Khan:

40s-early 50s, Afghan man.  A powerful warlord, engaged in battling the Soviets, who earns Warnock’s trust and respect.  Charismatic, and possessed of a definite gravitas.

Simon Craig:

30s, Caucasian man.  British.  Intelligence officer—wickedly smart, with a biting wit.  Barely hides his contempt for his countries’ lack of influence and tight purse strings.

Saeed:

20s. Afghan man.  One of Abdullah’s most-trusted soldiers, and his translator.  Hot-tempered, and confident, sometimes to the point of cockiness.  Dangerous, but also naturally funny.

Colonel Afridi:

30s.  Pakistani man.  Highly-ranked intelligence officer.  Cunning, smart and smooth, he is capable of fanaticism and deep rage.

Walter Barnes:

50s, Caucasian man.  American.  Mentor to Jim Warnock at the CIA.  Irish-Catholic—very smart, with a boisterous and brash sense of humor.  A genial, blue-collar guy who you don’t want to cross.

Senator Jefferson Birch:

50s-60s, Caucasian man.  American.  A slick and smooth South Carolina politician.  A bit of a blowhard who loves the sound of his own drawl. Intelligent and well-informed, capable of cutting speech when necessary.
