In the winter of 1985, in a Levant capital split in two by years of civil war, a militant commander who had already survived 3 separate attempts on his life did the one thing no assassin had planned for. He checked himself into a military prison, the single place his enemies could not follow. Behind those walls, guarded by the very state that jailed him, he was untouchable. So the service that wanted him stopped trying to break in. It built 2 criminal identities over 14 months, got its own officers arrested, and had them sentenced into his wing.
