Augustus Darvell

Augustus Darvell is an enigmatic, but apparently extremely wealthy, contact the agents made while in Dubai investigating AgriWealth and the kidnapping of Owen Altone. He is also quite unhealthy, judging by the various medical equipment kept aboard his yacht, the Countess.

Darvell is apparently well connected and capable of tracking the movements of the agents. So far, his involvement has focused on hindering the efforts of a shadowy group he refers to as "our mutual enemies".

Actions of the Agents
The agents were first contacted by Darvell when they discovered the remains of Sabrina Martin in Owen Altone's room at the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai. The agents took Martin's cell phone to search it for any clues that might lead them to Owen. Darvell attempted, too late, to warn Martin of impending attack, and the agents took the opportunity to make contact with Darvell, informing him of his asset's death.

Darvell instructed the agents to meet him aboard his yacht, the ''Countess. ''When they arrived, freely explained that Martin was working for him - he had initially sent her to gather information about AgriWealth, which he informed them served corporate masters that are enemies of his.

He offered the agents a deal: if they would damage AgriWealth sufficiently by destroying Site B, he would spirit them out of the country and pay them a "considerable amount of money", as well as be open to working with them in the future against "mutual enemies".

The agents held up their end of the bargain by destroying Site B with satchel charges provided by Darvell, and he held up his by providing them with a flash drive containing access information for a numbered bank account in the Cayman Islands, containing $1 million in untraceable currency.

Darvell has contacted the agents on multiple occasions since their first meeting; including once when they were in Switzerland investigating Lisky Bratva interests in the Koernersbank and again in Baghdad when following a lead found in the papers of Kim Philby.

Darvell contacted the agents again when they were following leads tied to the Philby papers, providing them with additional information that led them to the journalist Olivia Liu in Marrakesh.
