Cast
Jake Williams
Age: 22
Codename: "Raven"
Occupation: Inquisition agent
The latest agent trained by the Inquisition, Raven is eager to prove his worth to everyone watching him. You play the role of Jake and control his actions throughout Clandestine's Shadow.

Igor Dolvich
Age: 25
Codename: "Grizzly"
Occupation: Inquisition agent
Initially Igor appears to be cold and chilling, however this bear of a man has proven his loyalty to the Inquisition and its goals countless times. Once assigned a task, his determination is incredible and almost too relentless. Despite his looks and mannerism, Spectre has a warm heart, as, once you get to know him, you could not ask more from him as a friend or ally.

James Raine
Age: 26
Codename: "Maverick"
Occupation: MIA Inquisition agent
A venerated agent, only shunned for his wild, unorthodox style of work, yet he has always been able to get himself out of any situation. Maverick proved that the Inquisition needed to utilise nano-augmented agents to work against the criminal organisations that threaten the world and what we know as peace. It was Raine that showed how single agents were capable of so much and that they were worth the resources.
However, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances one month ago. It is short to say that there is rumour to suggest he has been a traitor, though there is only circumstantial evidence. If this is true, though, it is advised to all Inquisition agents that his termination should be performed without prejudice.

Karl Madine
Age: 52
Codename: "Chief"
Occupation: Director, Inquisition
An honourable and wise man, actually once an MP in Westminister, Madine is responsible for the actions of the Inquisition and its agents. He is highly intelligent and resourceful and has always utilised the method of dealing with the terrorist scourge of knowing them inside out before taking firm, precise action against them. Madine is keen to prove that the Inquisition is to be quite capable of independently striking down the hostile militia groups.

Hans Kreissack
Age: 56
Codename: "Mr Big"
Occupation: Chief Executive, Unicom
Brought up in an elegant, American family that originally immigrated from Germany, Hans was heavily taught the meaning of business and profit from an early age. Upon inheriting the family business when he was but 24, following a car crash that killed all of his known kin, he went on to turn Unicom into a international business conglomerate spanning four continents. Obsessed with turning a profit, he secretly turned to the black market and illegal activities to expand his power and wealth further, even doing business with criminals. Where once Kreissack desired profit, he is now concerned with secured power.

Organisations

The Inquisition

Status: UN sponsored surveillance agency- 'to uphold freedom for all of humanity'.
Leadership: Director Karl Madine
Background: Instated a few years ago, the Inquisition was secretly established to track and monitor terrorist groups and their activities whilst remaining as covert as possible. They would then forward information to law organisations so that action could be taken. Having been granted permission from the United Nations recently, they have began using nano-augmented agents to take active, aggressive force against the terrorist groups they have observed for so long. Primarily, their goal is to stop these groups threatening world peace. Located in their base in London, England, their elite, highly trained forces make them a small yet formidable force to be reckoned with.

Venom
Status: Terrorist activities
Leadership: ????
Headquarters: ???
Insignia: Giant cobra, squeezing the earth.
Background: Sinister and malicious- those words only begin to describe this extremist terrorist group. Having only just emerged from the shadows as of late, they have proven they are definitely a capable and immediate threat to the world. Through deception and force, they are feared as they go about their goals, which is unknown. Venom are known to hire most of their known forces, making them presently a collection of cutthroats, mercenaries and criminals. The Inquisition has not once captured an actual Venom agent, whom are as slippery as, naturally, a snake.

Dark Angels
Status: Criminal gang
Leadership: ???
Headquarters: Suburban areas, London.
Insignia: Black robed figure with wings.
Background: A feared and ruthless gang in new-age London, rumoured to have descended from the legendary Kray brothers of old somehow, the Dark Angels are a violent gang of cutthroats who believe in the physically strongest being the best leader and that they need to but take what they want.
The only way to join their gang is to beat another member through 'Headbarring'- an incredibly dangerous 'game' where two people take it in turns to smash a crowbar over the others body. The defender must keep their feet within a rectangle area, but is allowed to evade his opponents swings through ducking. Once one person is unconscious or submits, the other wins. This obviously leads to most gang members being close to mentally ill and even more psychotic. All other gangs whom have went head to head against the Dark Angels have been wiped out through Valentine Day-esque bloodbaths.

Unicom Enterprises

Status: Business enterprise
Leadership: Hans Kreissack
Background: Originally thriving upon hardware earlier in the century, Unicom gradually turned to software and soon become a major force in the computer industry. Since Kreissack took over the family business, Unicom has expanded from industry to industry and is now a massive conglomerate that's taken in numerous other businesses and spans most of the world.
