General Description
Dortmund is a diligent and hardworking fellow from the Anteråsan branch of the Imperial Security Directorate where he works alongside his less desirable twin brother, Dorten. An ordinary and inconspicuous individual who was once a typical ISD operative in the first half of the day and an aspiring entrepreneur in the second, he soon found himself part of a much larger operation as a deep cover operative stationed in Sector Twelve with the purpose of disrupting the operations of organized crime syndicates in the Sector where he was chosen because of his skillset, knowledge, and lastly, his being unremarkable. Of all possible covers, his is that of a chief manager and owner of a local ice cream parlor. To make things a bit more challenging than it should, his twin brother is also assigned with him to help with the parlor’s day-to-day operations as its co-owner.
Brothers in Blood
Those closest to Dortmund would be aware of his past as a former soldier in an Imperial Army covert operations unit alongside his fraternal twin, Dorten. They both fought together in the Saygien Conflict as part of the same team, serving mainly three roles: as snipers, as frontline assaultmen, and as recon troopers. After the war’s end, the two had left the military for personal reasons, receiving full military honors and benefits befitting of their ranks.
Not long after, both decided to sign up for the Imperial Security Directorate or the ISD, for personal and financial reasons. Both men having to work hard for their relatively low but respectable positions because of their obscure pasts that very little know about. Here they learned many tricks of the trade in law enforcement and once coupled with their covert ops experience, enabled them to have an understanding of the world of law enforcement and skillsets that are better than the typical ISD agent. He is also business-minded with entrepreneurial potential, honing his skills and knowledge that helped in keeping the ice cream parlor afloat through the few years they’ve been on their assignment.
General Description
A slight contrast to Dortmund, Dorten is a more lazy, less disciplined and less procedural, but probably more resourceful version of Dortmund according to a description provided by the latter about his fraternal twin brother who works in the same department in the ISD. He dislikes working hard, but likes working smart so he could get back to playing games or browsing any and all sorts of information on his phone or desktop computer as soon as possible. Because of his tendencies, he usually starts working on something when the deadline is near. In spite of this, he almost always finds a way around the daily tedium in the process that helps him significantly in remaining on time with his requirements. Had he displayed more decorum, however, he would’ve been promoted to which his brother expresses dismay, defending that he doesn’t want any more work, and hates it even, and is fine where he is. Being a good brother though, he has offered to help his twin in his entrepreneurial ventures, expressing interest. Little did he know however that that’d take him to a deep cover operation with his twin on Sector Twelve where they both get to live as entrepreneurs. He is the co-owner and day-to-day operations manager of the ice cream parlor that they run as a cover.
Brothers in Blood
Unknown to all but those closest to them, Dorten carried out his service in the Imperial Army as a soldier of a covert operations unit, a post that he shared with his fraternal twin brother, Dortmund, until the end of their military careers. He, like his twin, is baptized in fire and blood in the Saygien Conflict. Dorten and Dortmund fought together as part of the same team in a number of operations fulfilling the same roles together, the three most prominent that they were known for in their unit were for being snipers, assaultmen, and recon troopers.
After their honorable discharges, both men signed up for the Imperial Security Directorate for personal and financial reasons. Dorten however, was the one who relaxed into civilian life better, and according to Dortmund, “relaxed too much.” Because of this, he was the slower of the two to pick up on the Directorate’s lectures and techniques, leading him to be a bit behind his twin in institutional standing but managed to be where he is with his twin’s help and even getting into the same department as him, their synergy from years ago continuing to this day as he helps him manage the ice cream parlor through thick and thin while still fulfilling their duties.
