Who is Richard Faylen?

Richard Faylen was a senior engineer at Krotze International; not a genius, mind you, but competent enough with juggling his skills and making his superiors happy that he could advance into upper management. Of course, his career came to a sudden halt when he was involved in a statutory rape incident on one fateful night. Fearing he'd go to prison, he confided with his boss in the matter. This proved to be a fatal error. You see, unknown to Faylen, Fritz Krotze was a traitor to his nation, selling the high tech weapon systems he developed for the government to various other world powers, including the Club, a mysterious terrorist organization. Lacking scruples, Krotze covered up this whole incident, but has held Faylen over a barrel ever since, forcing him to do his dirty work lest he have to tell the police what Richard did. Fearing prison to the extreme, Faylen did everything Krotze asked. This included three particular missions that Krotze executed against Jenny Swensen, the daughter of one of his late engineers, a daughter that had stolen a piece of equipment he'd already promised to deliver to the Club.
