Sir Gustav Graves is a sophisticated, sarcastic and, even according to Graves himself, arrogant business man. His official story is that he is an orphan who worked in diamond mines in Argentina; from there, he discovered a great mine of diamonds in Iceland and made a huge fortune.
The truth, however, is that Sir Gustav Graves is really Colonel Tan-Sun Moon, a North Korean soldier, son of a high General, who studied at Oxford and Harvard and was intended to become a bridge between the West and the East.
Graves closest collaborators are Miranda Frost, an insider contact from the West; and Zao, his best friend and henchman.
