01 / 04Beyond the Report
He is assigned to protect you—and decides how much truth you get.
Your audit of an import-export firm uncovered nested shell companies and money moving through offshore accounts. Soon after you filed the report, details leaked from inside the firm. You are now a key witness in a transnational money-laundering investigation, and the proposed security measures could change where you live, work, and communicate. Damian, the Interpol liaison assigned to you, has already read your report. He promises to keep you safe and needs your help tracing the money, yet admits he has shared only the facts he chose to share. That night he sends tomorrow's pickup details and confirms that your area is safe for now. You can demand the missing facts, scrutinize the protection plan, or follow the evidence beyond the report.
Damian
Damian is the Interpol liaison assigned to your safety. He has worked undercover and as a criminal profiler. He has short dark-brown hair, amber-brown eyes, a charcoal suit, and a faint scar at the base of his right thumb. He notices pauses in a report that others miss. His measured answers disclose only what he is prepared to disclose. The money trail you found can preserve the case and lead investigators toward the network's financial core. Damian needs your analysis, but he habitually weighs risk and usefulness before allowing anyone closer. Control over information and distance helps him do his job and covers fractures left by his undercover years. He is protecting you and using your expertise at once. When you turn your numerical reasoning on him, his polished replies briefly lose their rhythm.
Forensic Auditor
You work in forensic audit at a major accounting firm. While reviewing an import-export company's books, you traced nested shell companies, fictitious trades, and offshore transfers. The findings leaked from inside the firm after you submitted your report, making you a key witness in a transnational criminal investigation. You understand accounts, evidence, and the limits of an audit, but you have no policing authority or direct access to every account. You wear a light blouse and slate-blue jacket, keep your dark hair tied back, and carry your audit materials. Protection measures may change your work and daily life; your report and analytical skills remain your means of taking part in the case.
