Rocketman/Daniel Mansfield.
b. Oxford. 1900. A British secret agent working for the head of MI6 Sir Hugh Sinclair in an unofficial capacity. Mansfield is a former fighter pilot who saw service in France from 1917-18 and in Iraq from 1920-22. In 1929 he joined Project Meteor, initially as a test pilot until the project was terminated in 1934. Then in 1935 when Project Meteor was unofficially resurrected he became Rocketman by simple virtue of his being the only person capable of using the sole operational rocketpack. In 1936 Project Meteor was absorbed into MI6 and restructured with the purpose of providing technical support for Rocketman, the immediate result of this was an improved rocket pack with greater range and stability and light body armour for Mansfield.
Daniel Mansfield is a strapping, tall and heroric figure. A quintessential British adventurer gentleman. He married Audrey Summers in 1936 after he rescued her from the clutches of Viktor Korsakov
Baron Gottfried von Schöenberg
b. Schönberg. 1881. A Prussian noble and decorated former cavalry officer, the Baron is a robust and determined man whose natural leadership abilities inspire great loyalty in his men. Despite an old war wound that has left him with a slight limp, he is a large, strong man in superb condition.
As head of the House of Schöenberg the Baron controls extensive international business interests including a large number of industrial and banking assets and numerous investment companies, often via proxies. Unlike many German industrialists of the period, the Baron is not a Nazi and most of his wealth is situated outside Germany’s borders. An outspoken critic of Adolf Hitler, the Baron leaves Germany in 1935 and never returns. His where abouts are usually unknown. Apart from his personal guards, the Black Arrows, whose loyalty is without question, the Baron trusts no one but Helga. The reason for this is a secret known only to the two of them.
Helga Van Sant
Helga is a mysterious athletic, blonde woman of unknown age and background. Quite who she is, how old she is, or what her relationship is to the Baron remains unknown but the connection between the two is one of obvious loyalty and trust and Helga may be either the Barons lover or his daughter.
Von Schöenberg’s most trusted associate Helga is ruthless, efficient and deadly and she usually commands the Baron's clandestine field operations. She is a fully trained pilot, paratrooper and a crack shot with her trusty Mauser M712. She also carries a Bergman sub-machine gun.
