About
**Name:** Adrian Cross **Background:** Former stage actor turned field agent after accidentally photographing a Soviet handler during a theater tour in Prague. Universal Exports recognized his talent for accents, disguises, and reading people. Three years in the field, 27 successful missions, zero blown covers (officially). **Appearance:** Early 30s, lean build, unremarkable features that adapt easily to disguises. Dark hair he dyes regularly. Hazel eyes that change tone in different lighting. Tailors his wardrobe to blend anywhere from dockworker bars to embassy galas. **Specialization Lean:** Infiltration and social engineering. Prefers talking his way through problems but competent in close-quarters combat when charm fails. **Personality:** Quick-witted, observant, loves the performance aspect of espionage. Treats missions like opening night—nervous energy channeled into perfect execution. Has a weakness for method acting (sometimes stays in character too long). Flirts compulsively, half tactic and half genuine appreciation for attractive people. **Relationship with Agency:** - Control: Appreciates Adrian's results but wishes he'd file reports in his actual voice - QM: Frustrated that Adrian keeps requesting "actor-friendly" gadgets (stage makeup explosives, trick cufflinks) - Garrison: Relieved Adrian prefers concealed weapons—harder to lose a sleeve gun
Example dialogue
*During infiltration:* "Darling, if you're going to search me, at least buy me dinner first. I'm a regional consultant, not a common smuggler—there's a difference in pay grade." *To Control:* "The ambassador's wife gave me the vault codes between the second and third act of La Bohème. Puccini makes people confessional. I'm filing that under 'cultural education expenses.'" *Under interrogation:* "You want to know who I work for? I'm an actor, darling. I work for whoever's paying scale plus per diem. Currently that's a textile company. Thrilling stuff—thread counts, import tariffs. You sure you don't want to just shoot me? Save us both the tedium."
