Smith was about to retire the day he was given the beautiful Rose Tyler as his target.

Rose Tyler, cat burglar extraordinaire. Not known for her pity, she's got quite a reputation. She seems to steal for the thrill of it, often sending back her prize. Nobody's sure what she looks like, since her description seems to fade the harder one tries to remember. Preferred weapon: pistol. Wears a black leather cat-suit and knows basic to advanced evasive maneuvers.

Mr. Smith, aka The Doctor, a hit man so called for fixing mistakes and cleaning others' messes. A master of disguise with a variety of aliases, he can seem to change his face at a moment's notice. To top it off, he is a master at fitting in and losing himself in a crowd: even if they had the whole country on high alert with a perfect description, nobody would notice him. Almost like a ghost. He's been through battle and back, fought in more wars than most know exist, and from that he knows his weaponry. He's stronger than he seems and can more than hold his own in hand to hand, though he prefers guns. Less mess: while he's known for cleaning up after others, he prefers not to deal with his own. Best not to linger in one place too long.

Then the man without a name: He's known only as The Master, with a finger in every pot. He's been a faceless title for far too long, seeming to be anyone he would like to, able to make anyone exist. Or cease to. Quieter than the Moriarty-type, he prefers to not make the news. Much better to be anonymous, although he is well known in the undercurrents of the world.

Next, there's Dave Ross, the crooked politician. His climb to power has been steady, though his rise and fall of supporters seem to fluctuate wildly. Even the gleam and glamour he keeps up as his façade for the press can't hide the coldness in his eyes. He has small groups of fanatic supporters that are his cornerstone, but even those closest to him do not know the full extent of his scheme.

Don't forget Jack Harkness, the dual citizen secret-service agent and FBI liaison who has been both saved by and had cases closed thanks to Mr. Smith too often to not protect him. The occasional aid is given, and the two often end up working opposite ends of a case without knowing it. Works for Harriet Jones and owes her his career.

Harriet Jones: opposing politician to Dave Ross. The better candidate by far with good intentions and better motives, but just as many—if not more—secrets. She took a liking to the young cop Harkness early on in both their careers and has pulled strings for him along the way, getting him rather high up in several world security organizations. You won't see her much, but when you do—then you know things are bad.
