DAN FLINT
The department's other probationary agent. Born Liverpool, attended local high school. Served in The Royal Artillery as bombardier [corporal] . Got into the world of intelligence because a] he prefers to work apart from army discipline and b] he is convinced he'll meet lots of really fit birds losing their clothes. He's spent too long watching Bond films and reading lurid spy novels.But being teamed with Pippa Pring suggests to him that his expectations weren't entirely unrealistic. Interests..Spy and science fiction and fantasy TV and films, firearms. World War 2.. and fit birds.
JENNY SPARKES
The department's organiser.. whether it's gadgets, weapons, travel plans, HR, liason with other agencies, collating intelligence, preparing mission briefings... and making tea. Fiercely loyal to and possessive about her boss. Highly intelligent and analytical. Not known to have any life outside.
COMMANDER PAUL IRONSIDE
Pippa doesn't know much about her boss. Is he a naval commander or is it just a convenient designation? Ironside is the no nonsense head of "the department" [no capital D]. Speculation has it that in his day he was a legendary field agent. No one seems to know what the department does or to whom it is answerable, and Ironside intends to keep it that way. He is protective of his people. Especially Pippa. Naturally.
