Subject Profile
Peter Dawlish is a former SIS (MI6) agent, one of the eleven Section 4 (Special Circumstances) 'sandbagger' field operatives, trained to deal with dangerous, politically sensitive or unusual situations, such as exchanges, assassinations and rescues. His only living relative is his mother, who lives on a 25-acre private estate in Sutherland, tending her gardens, swearing at the locals, complaining about tourists and tutting at people who complain about her latent racism & homophobia. His father was in 3 Commando, Royal Marines and was Dawlish grew up believing he had been killed in the Falklands War. Born in Gosport, Hampshire, Dawlish is 39 years old in 2013. In 2009 Dawlish was sent to Prague to recruit a senior civil servant in the Russian Ministry of Energy as a source; however, approaches to the Russian were complicated by the presence of an obstructive FSB minder. After a couple of failed attempts to compromise the civil servant with blackmail material, Dawlish decided to temporarily neutralise the minder, not counting on the man fighting as a lethal combat. The next morning, Czech police arrived at Dawlish's hotel and arrested him for the murder of an American diplomat - the dead minder - based on an anonymous tip-off. The Russians protested to the Americans about spies, the CIA demanded SIS give them Dawlish as a terrorist and the Czechs complained to everyone about them all playing games in their backyard. Even worse, under the gentlest of pressure, Dawlish's cover of George Kenton, a Hong Kong-based banker, unravelled far more quickly than it should have done; under glaring scrutiny and increasing demands from the Czech government, SIS denied all knowledge of him. Burned, the CIA issued a capture-or-kill order on him, but with no strong physical evidence linking him to the dead man the Czech police had to let him go after three days in custody. With all of his known covers effectively useless, Dawlish switched to his one remaining fall-back legend and left the country under the name of David Somerset, the same name he continues to be known as, on a Canadian passport. Currently, Dawlish has been living as Somerset in a village in the Swiss- Italian canton of Ticino.The locals are somewhat suspicious of him because he has almost nothing to do with them; most of them don't even know his name - he's simply 'the American', an understandably wrong assumption. He owns a small villa about 5 minutes walk from the market square and his only regular interaction with the locals are with the two local prostitutes, Sophia and Elisabetta, (the latter of which he may be falling for, which concerns him), and the minister at the local church, with whom he has the occasional espresso in the cafe, although they only talk about politics, Italian football and the existence of God. The rest of the locals speculate wildly on who he is and what he does, but mostly they assume he's just a burnt-out stockbroker. Up until recently he has contracted three to four jobs a year through Georg Rudek, mostly as a bodyguard, courier or extraction specialist. Because of Dawlish's peculiar code of ethics, however, these have not always gone well. Even when he worked for the Service, Dawlish had a reputation for a certain kind of ruthless efficiency and this had not diminished during his time working freelance. On one occasion he killed his principal and the man's friend when he found them about to rape a girl they had pumped full of heroin. On another, he burned a CIA cell to the Chinese authorities, before dropping the Omani businessman who was funding the Shanghai terrorist cell they were investigating from the 34th floor of his hotel, a man he had been hired to courier a package of diamonds to. Dawlish wants to know why he wasn't told the supposed FSB minder was CIA, who it was that gave him up to the Czech authorities and why the Kenton legend was full of holes. He has no in-field networks left to rely on: the ones that weren't burned now deny him, leaving him only one or two unofficial contacts in the Service, both based in Vauxhall. Primarily this is Alec Nicholson, an elderly planner and analyst roughly six months from retirement and Ava Harris, Nicholson's assistant and protg. Dawlish has also discovered information that suggests his father was murdered in Austria, not killed in action in the Falklands. According to reports that Dawlish has seen, his father's body was found hanging upside down, his throat cut.
