BIOGRAPHY
"Every new conflict is a version of the last. Every scar is a symbol of victory."

Touré began his law enforcement career as a patrolman in the National Gendarmerie. Due to his size, he was often assigned to missions that required significant police resources. He soon received an invitation to join the Rapid Intervention Gendarmerie, tasked with crowd control and counter-terrorism operations. Extensive training allowed Touré to acquire a wide range of skills and attract the attention of the GIGN. He is highly effective in assaults, but also excels in engineering and reconnaissance work. When not deployed to Rainbow Team operations, Touré is assigned to instructor duties within the GIGN.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Gilles Touré (Montagne)'s presence and intense gaze are impressive and can easily make an opponent nervous. He's reticent even among friends, so our conversation took place at the GIGN training center to ensure a comfortable atmosphere.[…] To better understand Gilles, I observed him working with new recruits. He was open, honest, and even outgoing.[…]

Looking for a change of scenery, Trace transferred to FBI SWAT and began developing new barricade tactics. He was later invited to join Team Rainbow, where his interest in researching and improving devices only continued to grow. Trace's hometown of Plano has a large Chinese community, leading him to speak Mandarin at a conversational level.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Jordan Trace (Thermite) is an extremely disciplined man who loves to surprise. He's capable of playing pranks on anyone and cracking a clever joke in any situation.

"The heart is like a motor: it can also be improved."

Born at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Estrada grew up in various locations across the United States and around the world, including Germany, Turkey, and Japan. His father was a pilot, and his mother was a senior intelligence officer. From an early age, Estrada was interested in science and quickly transitioned to an advanced program. His passion for forensics and biochemistry led him to participate in the FBI's biometrics program as the youngest trainee. After being promoted to agent, Estrada soon joined SWAT, combining operational work with lab research. His high emotional intelligence earned him a spot on the hostage rescue team, where he learned negotiation and crisis management techniques. His knowledge of behavioral biometrics helped him create a heart rate monitor and several other prototypes that require further development.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
On operations, Jack Estrada (Pulse) is cool-headed and extremely level-headed, so I was completely surprised by his boyish enthusiasm when we finally met. We broached all sorts of topics: biology, fighter jets, diving, and even something his father builds in his spare time—muscle cars. I didn't know the word and was stunned. Estrada had to show me photos.[…]

We talked about his childhood fascination with biology and chemistry. We also talked about why he wanted to be an astronaut. (Jack jokingly said he still wants to.) He's fascinated by the idea of ​​extraterrestrial life. Recalling them, Estrada immediately began vividly describing his underwater expeditions.[…]

Real name
Miles Campbell
Date of birth
September 20 (36 years old)
Place of birth
Sherman Oaks, California
BIOGRAPHY
"Listen up: no one will die today. Save your questions for later."

After earning a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from California State University, Miles Campbell joined the Los Angeles Police Department. He was recruited into SWAT, where he learned combat assistance and threat-intervention tactics. Thanks to his defensive skills, Campbell quickly achieved the rank of captain and earned his first commendation for his ability to maintain situational awareness.

Always concerned about the safety of his team, he continually refined both his techniques and defensive equipment. Campbell earned numerous awards and became a firearms expert. After transferring to the FBI, he participated in joint training with GSG 9 and soon found himself in FBI SWAT. Additional training included interagency courses for members of federal and international law enforcement agencies (including SAS and GIGN units).

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
From the first minutes of my conversation with Campbell, I felt like old friends. Miles is a good-natured man. We joked about our football and American football (note: check the etymology of the word "soccer" – I don't want to lose 20 pounds).[…]

Reports note that Rainbow team members often call Campbell "Papa Bear" or "Diplomat." He recounted how he managed to calm two operatives who had gotten into a heated argument yesterday. Miles is clearly the team's glue. His openness allows him to work with anyone. It's no surprise that Eliza Cohen (Ash) feels most comfortable with him.[…]

Real name
Eliza Cohen
Date of birth
December 24 (33 years old)
Place of birth
Jerusalem, Israel
BIOGRAPHY
"You can't understand the essence of a conflict without being on both sides."

Eliza Cohen's mother is a professor and prominent political activist, and her father (of Palestinian descent) is a professor of Middle Eastern studies. Cohen was born in Israel and excelled in mathematics and physics in school. After earning a PhD in structural engineering from Tel Aviv University, she attended Boston University for several semesters.

After completing her studies, Cohen enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces. After completing 22 months of training in the IAF's Shaldag Special Operations Program, she served for five years. Cohen participated in ground and air operations, possessing skills in reconnaissance and navigation in all conditions, and was therefore a key participant in Operation Orchard. After moving to the United States, she joined the FBI SWAT, where, as an expert in engineering and materials resistance, she was entrusted with developing advanced demolition tactics and equipment. Cohen is fluent in Hebrew, Arabic, English, French, and Greek.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
After a few meetings, I stopped insisting that Eliza Cohen (Ash) not view me as her commander. She asked so many leading questions that it felt like she was actually analyzing me.[…]

Cohen isn't interested in discussing her childhood. She dislikes her picky grandmother, but I don't see any obvious trauma. The army allowed the rational and goal-oriented Eliza to break free from the shackles of her family. Cohen noted that she enjoys being in high-risk situations, but declined to specify her own acceptable level of danger.

Real name
Mike Baker
Date of birth
June 22 (56 years old)
Place of birth
Bideford, England
BIOGRAPHY
"What can be touched and felt should be considered real. Everything else is distraction."

Baker's family tree includes both blue-collar workers and military personnel. At 18, he enlisted in the army, despite his family's urging him to take a job at the port. Almost immediately, he found himself involved in conflicts with clear political overtones. Baker performed exemplarily, and after his next deployment, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Award and the Distinguished Courage Award. His determination, observation, and skills in close quarters combat made him indispensable in protecting VIPs.

His combat experience and knowledge of SAS tactics are invaluable assets to Team Rainbow. Baker continues to research new countermeasures and electronic countermeasures, often working with engineers to improve equipment. His rank of Warrant Officer Class 1 requires him to mentor new recruits. He has incorporated ropewalking into his regular training, holding several records in the mountaineering category.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Knowing that Mike Baker (Thatcher) is skeptical of bureaucracy, I wasn't surprised by his refusal to speak. A different approach was needed. Baker lives on the "Iron Maggie," a boat moored in dry dock. In his spare time, he constantly repairs it (he says he's preparing for retirement). I think Mike moved there temporarily after his divorce from his wife, but ultimately never bought a regular house.[…]

Real name
James Porter
Date of birth
May 14 (36 years old)
Place of birth
London, England (King's Cross)
BIOGRAPHY
"Of course I'm worried about my surroundings. At least the one I'm in."

Porter wasn't the brightest student, but aptitude tests showed a talent for the sciences. His teachers and parents suggested an unconventional learning method—at home with tutors. The lack of school restrictions had a positive effect on the boy, and he quickly excelled in chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Unwilling to attend a conventional university, Porter enlisted in the army using forged documents. The strict system of rules didn't always please him, but the various training sessions and experiences he gained offset the negative impact. He was often punished for violating regulations, but his superiors were more interested in the young soldier's innovative approach and strategic thinking. He was soon offered a position in the SAS. Porter prefers to acquire knowledge and skills in his own way and is therefore not well-versed in standard methods.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Before meeting an operative, it's crucial to have no preconceived notions about them. Since various assessments of James Porter (Smoke)'s personality were contradictory, I, fortunately, couldn't form one. So, the man who came to interview me was, shall we say, a mystery.[…]

Many consider Porter too detached. Reviewing his profile, I noticed that he becomes "indifferent" in stressful situations. So it's not detachment, but concentration. I remember my uncle, tapping his temple, telling me, "Train your brain to work." I think Porter similarly trains his brain to focus on the task at hand and block out distractions. He tries not to make decisions based on emotion, which is why he often finds himself in places like concerts—letting off steam so he can be the person he needs to be at work.[…]

Real name
Seamus Cowden
Date of birth
April 2 (35 years old)
Place of birth
John O'Groats, Scotland
BIOGRAPHY
"Let me through!"

Cowden was born in the far north of Scotland to a military father and a nurse. When he was five, his parents decided to move their children to Inverness. The physically developed young man took up rugby and was appointed captain of the under-20s team in 1998. Following family tradition, Cowden joined the 3rd Mechanized Division of the British Army. His athleticism and drive lived up to the division's old nickname, the "Ironsides." Cowden was initially assigned to an armoured infantry brigade to study engineering and combat vehicle modification techniques. Along the way, he developed several breach-creating techniques. Upon joining the SAS, he set several records. Cowden is an expert in mechanical, ballistic, explosive, and thermal assault techniques, but he prefers to create entry points quickly and relatively quietly.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
One of the tasks in my job is to assess the influence of a country on an operative. I can say that Seamus Cowden (Sledge) can certainly be considered a proud son of his harsh homeland. And it's not just his physical stature and imposing presence. I sense there's something wild even in his personality. He's resilient and proud, but, by his own admission, can sometimes be hot-tempered. Judging by reports, Seamus is decisive, possesses leadership qualities, and considerable operational experience, but at the same time, he's quite unpredictable: the "gentle giant" isn't always the person others see him as.[…]

Real name
Mark R. Chandar
Date of birth
October 11 (25 years old)
Place of birth
York, England
BIOGRAPHY
"People associate my call sign with the fact that I don't like to talk. Or maybe I just don't like you?"

The exceptional and versatile Chandar was one of the youngest students accepted to Cambridge. After earning degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, he interned at a prestigious tech company, designing prototype security systems. His innovative solutions attracted the attention of GCHQ, one of the UK's intelligence agencies. Having demonstrated exceptional abilities in deciphering, Chandar soon became a member of the signals intelligence service. He continues to participate in the Applied Technology Research Group and expand his horizons (he recently took up learning Korean).

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Not everyone will immediately understand why Mark Chandar chose the callsign "Mute." He truly dislikes small talk, but at the same time, he's not at all secretive, and at times he's impulsive (an off-putting trait for some). It's quite possible that Mark is unable to overcome his social blocks. In my opinion, this stems from impatience. He needs to realize that the problem can be solved in multiple ways. Interestingly, Mike Baker (Thatcher) has spoken out in Chandar's defense, reluctantly but still tolerating his ally.[…]

Tsang grew up in Vancouver and enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of eighteen. She graduated from the Royal Military College at the top of her class. After earning her bachelor's degree and completing officer training, Tsang transferred to the Victoria Rescue Coordination Centre at Esquimalt Air Base, where she served as part of the lead search team on missions throughout British Columbia and the Yukon.

Many note her ability to navigate any situation, allowing her to quickly formulate a clear plan and respond to threats. She also enjoys rock climbing, skydiving, and scuba diving in her free time. Using her knowledge of mechanical engineering, Tsang helped design and modify the Sterling MK2 LHT (Silok), a compact device suitable for use in a variety of environments.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
I confess: Tina Lin Zang's (call sign "Frost") energy is exhausting. Few people make me feel old. During our meeting, she tidied up my shelves... it really did improve. And most importantly, it's not nervousness, not at all. This behavior is typical of athletes.[…]

Reports indicate that Zang is always focused and tenacious. Her allies trust her plans and know she's meticulous. Disagreement doesn't disrupt teamwork, as Tina is always willing to listen to criticism. However, she does have some dislike for those who are impatient or prefer shortcuts.[…]

Real name

"Follow me. I know a shortcut."

While attending university, Côté, who comes from a military family, served in the Canadian Forces Reserve. After earning a bachelor's degree in criminology, he transferred to active duty and was assigned to the military police. His training in high-risk situations and maritime operations, as well as his combat skills at all ranges, earned him a spot in the RCMP Search and Rescue Unit.

Even after transferring to the world-renowned JTF2 special forces unit, Kote continued to expand his skill set: he completed training in combat driving on land and water, hazardous materials handling, and hostage rescue. Under pressure, he remains focused and adapts easily. His friendly demeanor and intuitive leadership skills make him one of the most flexible operators. In addition to French and English, Kote is fluent in Pashto and is currently voluntarily studying the history of the Mohawk (Ganyengaha) tribe.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Sébastien Côté (callsign "Buck") is a friendly person who can join any conversation and make everyone feel at ease. I enjoy our sessions. During our first meetings, Buck was formal but not withdrawn. I understand why people consider him easygoing. In combat, this ability to adapt to others is especially appreciated by those primarily interested in tactics, but others also find him extremely comfortable working with him.[…]

Megan J. Castellano
Date of birth
July 21 (age 31)
Place of birth
Oceanside, California
BIOGRAPHY
"Those who don't feel like they're being watched all the time are just not paying attention."

Castellano was born in Oceanside, California, home to a thriving surfing community. Her father is a Marine colonel, and her mother is a researcher at a biotech company. From an early age, Castellano excelled in science and sports, and was on track to win an Olympic medal in swimming, but at 16, she broke her arm in a car accident. After attending university, she also enlisted in the Navy. A bachelor's degree in computer science with a specialization in security and cryptography earned her a spot in the Information Operations Corps, where her attention to detail and analytical skills earned her a place among the most sought-after specialists. Castellano applied to become a Navy SEAL when the unit began accepting women. After several years of grueling training, she succeeded, setting a role model for others.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
At the start of the first session, I felt like Megan Castellano (call sign "Valkyrie") met all our requirements and expectations. She was simply impeccable. But from her reports, I get the impression she's aggressive and willing to do anything to complete the mission. It's a curious contrast.[…]

Her actual vision of the role differs from the polite response she initially gave. While Castellano enjoys the challenges we've put her through, there's a sense she's struggling to overcome some obstacle.[…]

Name
Craig Jenson
Date of birth
March 12 (32 years old)
Place of birth
Bellevue, Washington
BIOGRAPHY
"I'm a diver. We can easily recognize a threat even through tempered glass."

Instead of following his family's tradition of becoming a doctor, Jenson joined the Navy. His time in the Boy Scouts and the United States Sea Cadet Corps (Blue Angels Squadron) only deepened his desire to serve his country and see the world. The military offered him the opportunity to gain an education and a wide range of skills, fueling his adventurous spirit. After serving his first tour, Jenson set his ultimate goal: joining the Navy SEALs. Driven by his desire to succeed in both his professional and personal life, he climbed Mount Everest, competed in sailing competitions, and completed several circumnavigations.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Craig Jenson (call sign "Blackbeard") has a knack for commanding attention. His bright sense of humor and booming laugh contribute to this. Off-duty, he seems a bit casual. During our conversation, I sensed the relaxed and open demeanor of this self-described "innocent and willing-to-do-anything guy." Admittedly, few would call themselves "innocent."[…]

Jenson is an athletic, strong rock climber and competitive sailor. He admitted that he feels most comfortable outdoors: it's there you learn to adapt, use your will, be patient, and accepting. It seems Jenson has been developing these qualities since childhood. I asked him what he would have become if not for the military. It turned out Craig had considered becoming an oceanographer, but for now, "the SEALs still have something to shine for."[…]

Real name
Vicente Souza
Date of birth
November 17 (49 years old)
Place of birth
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Nova Iguacu)
BIOGRAPHY
"If you focus only on the bad, you won't see the many opportunities to do something good."

Souza, the youngest child, was born in Nova Iguaçu, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro. After drug traffickers killed his older brother, the young man decided to join the military police. There, he learned how to handle various weapons and assault tactics. During a raid on a cartel, Souza was taken hostage. He was tortured and had an eye removed, but thanks to his character and endurance, he persevered and was rescued two months later. After his recovery, Souza, a specialist in urban combat and a kind of embodiment of the motto "Victory or Death," was recruited by the Special Police Operations Battalion (BOPE). In this SP, he thoroughly studied the organizational principles and psychology of criminal groups, but during his fight against the cartels, he became their number one target.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Judging by the reports, Vicente Souza (call sign "Capitão") is an excellent operative: loyal, determined, and level-headed. But first and foremost, he's a family man. Behind his every action lies a desire to protect his family and make the world they live in a safer place.

Souza grew up in a close-knit environment and strives to raise his three children in the same spirit. It's no surprise that he never fully recovered from the death of his older brother. To keep his memory alive, Vicente named his eldest son after him and often tells stories about his beloved brother. Souza loves having family gatherings at his home. The warmth and comfort he creates gives them a chance to relax, knowing everyone is close and safe.[…]

Rinopolis, Brazil
BIOGRAPHY"
Not every child can choose where to grow up."

Pereira was born in a small town in the state of São Paulo. Together with her, there were 10 children in the family, whom the mother raised alone. At an early age, Pereira moved to Rio de Janeiro, where she was soon arrested on robbery charges and faced with a choice: either a correctional program for teenagers or the help of the military police as an informant. Over the years of working undercover in Brazilian criminal groups, she has learned various interrogation and surveillance techniques, thanks to which she now participates in the training of recruits as an instructor. Pereira is an expert in evacuation and tactics for fighting in confined spaces and especially dangerous situations. Her actions during the crisis in Rio de Janeiro caught the attention of the Rainbow team, who were not deterred by the numerous hints that the girl herself was a threat. Outside of the service, Pereira leads a closed lifestyle: it is only known that she loves to learn new languages and participates in unofficial jiu-jitsu competitions.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
In any of the reports, it will be written that Taina Pereira (call sign "Caveira") is fearless, intelligent, courageous, and also acts without unnecessary delay and is sure to bring the matter to the end. At the same time, despite all the successes, because of her rebellious nature, she was never honored with gratitude.

BIOGRAPHY"
Don't ask me what I'm doing on my phone. It's better for you not to know."

Enatsu was born in Suginami, one of Tokyo's special districts. As a child, he became interested in robotics, created and programmed ground models and drones, and won several thematic competitions. After studying electrical engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University, Enatsu was offered a job at the National Police Agency, where he worked as part of the security planning team in research and development. The knowledge gained in reconnaissance and counter-terrorist training prompted him to create tools that would help the Agency improve its work. After the hostage-taking in Nagoya, Enatsu took part in joint exercises and eventually transferred to the Aichi Prefectural Prefectural Police Special Unit, where he was able to develop new solutions and alternative strategies. When he returned to Tokyo, Team Rainbow took an interest in him, focusing on his exceptional ability to collect data and unpredictable thinking.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
To say that Masaru "Echo" Enatsu has a couple of behavioral traits is an understatement. Before our first meeting with him, I had a chance to talk to all the members of the Rainbow team, some of them more than once. The session began with Enatsu's confession that he had avoided me. It was immediately clear that we would get along.

Imagawa is an expert in non-combat techniques and infiltration into dangerous areas, demonstrating exceptional leadership qualities on the battlefield. Her family encouraged her to study kyudo, and from an early age, she demonstrated an ability to consider virtually every detail of a situation and act quickly and accurately. Joint training with the SAS, FBI SWAT, GIGN, and other special forces helped her understand various tactics and problem-solving methods for impromptu operations (eliminating threats on buses, trains, and airplanes). At the National Police Academy, Imagawa learned to use improvised explosive devices, earning the call sign "Hibana." She was soon accepted into the Aichi Prefectural Police Special Assault Team, where, thanks to her versatile techniques, charisma, and proficiency in several languages ​​and all types of weapons, she quickly rose through the ranks.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Yumiko Imagawa (call sign "Hibana") is incredibly talented. I hardly know anyone with as many accolades. She easily inspires and wins over a wide variety of operatives. She even politely acknowledges my feeble attempts at Japanese.[…]

I enjoy our conversations. Imagawa describes the events of her life with great emotion. She's traveled to many countries and experienced a wide variety of cultures, but her favorite stories are about her childhood. For example, about how her mother wouldn't let her father, a butcher, into the house until he'd been hosed off in the garden. The sight of her drenched father dancing under the splashes of cold water clearly brought joy to the family. It's a good story.

Data from adoptive families is fragmentary, so it is difficult to get a complete picture of al-Hassar's early life. He completely disappeared from the radar of the authorities after his older brother Faisal received custody rights, but when he was killed, the future operative was again left without a home. A sympathetic police officer helped him survive this tragedy. At the age of eighteen, Al-Hassar, eager to avenge the death of his relative, joined the National Police. Out-of-the-box thinking and advice from the mentor allowed him to quickly complete his studies at the academy. Thanks to perseverance, he managed to solve several cases, but the killer of his brother remains at large. After joining the Special Operations Group, al-Hassar received additional training: combat driving and rope descent/ascent; developed shooting skills; studied data on terrorist groups. He is often invited to the police academy as a lecturer or temporary instructor.

Riyad
Ramirez al-Hassar says he has always been a night owl for as long as he can remember. Given the nature of his work, this feature only plays into his hands. However, over time, he developed insomnia. Now al-Hassar is not quite aware of the last time he slept. [...]

Thoughts of killing his brother do not let Riyadh go for a minute. Time passes, it remains unrevealed, the feeling of despair intensifies. At times, there are notes of guilt in al-Hassar's speech, but he himself denies this fact. Although at the same time I agree to continue analyzing the problem that appeared after leaving the police.

Madrid, Spain
BIOGRAPHY"
Imagine that I am your conscience: I notice everything and know no pity."

Alvarez is an extremely inventive operative with unique skills in fighting in tight spaces. Working in a car repair shop with her father helped her understand the structure of many mechanisms and influenced her choice of the specialty "Engineering and Metallurgy" at the university. Driven by a keen sense of justice and a desire to serve her country, Álvarez joined the National Police. The need for better equipment pushed her to create new bulletproof materials to protect her colleagues. On her way to the Special Operations Group (GEO), Alvarez beat more than 100 candidates. The armor that can be seen on it, she made herself. She was offered the position of Director of Research and Defence for Rainbow before she was offered a spot in the first team, as she still needed to test her gear in the field. In his free time, Alvarez flies helicopters.

Elzbieta Bosak

Place of birth
Wroclaw, Poland
BIOGRAPHY
"Together we can get all the stars from the sky."

Elżbieta Bosak is the youngest daughter of Jan Bosak, a former commander of the Polish special forces unit GROM. Like her sister, Zofia, she was forced to undergo the training devised by their father. Elżbieta attended an officer academy, but she preferred freedom to military life and left for Berlin to devote herself to fine art. She enjoyed incorporating military attributes into her work, a trait that attracted the attention of the owner of a small security company, who offered her a job. In the private sector, she was valued for her knowledge of survival tactics and her ability to quickly adapt during missions or reconnaissance missions. The death of her father forced Elżbieta to return to Poland and join GROM. She is a reliable ally with leadership potential, although her mistrust of authority can lead to conflict. After successful work with the SEALs, she was invited to join Team Rainbow.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
We civilians find it easier to understand the independent nature of Elżbieta Bosak (call sign "Ela") than her commanders. Regular soldiers are expected to obey orders, but she readily contradicts her superiors, yet she takes her service and missions seriously. Traditionalists are irritated by her love of freedom and, let's say, aggressiveness. Even during our first meeting, I sensed an intransigence. She's clearly fighting something. Perhaps not the authorities—at least not only them.[…]

The early years of Hwa's life remain a mystery: not even information about his biological parents has been preserved. It is known that during an attempt to get to the Republic of Korea, his father and older brother were killed. He was registered at school in his late teens when he was adopted into the Hwa family. Judging by the first reports - "secretive, slow to read" - there was an early injury, but later the scores began to improve rapidly.

Tripoli, Libya
BIOGRAPHY"
Never show your cards."

Aria de Luca, nicknamed "Alibi", was born in Tripoli and immigrated from Libya with her parents at the age of three. His father was engaged in the production of ammunition and, using his connections, exported them to North Africa. De Luca learned how to use weapons during training at the shooting range. The direction of the family business has also had an impact. At the age of 18, Aria took part in competitions under the auspices of the European Confederation of Practical Shooting and won gold in the disciplines "Shooting at a moving target" and "Air pistol shooting". After the tournament, a recruiter from the Carabinieri Corps invited the girl to join the police.
De Luca's skills and professionalism allowed her to quickly move up the career ladder: at one time, she even fought organized crime in the ranks of the Special Task Force. As a result, Aria was accepted into the Special Intervention Group (G.I.S.), and after a successful operation in Afghanistan, which she had to complete alone, she was chosen to work undercover. As an arms dealer, she infiltrated the Vinciguerra criminal gang and for several years tried to neutralize its activities from within. Information about the operations against the Vinciguerra "family" got into the newspapers, and the G.I.S. had to force events.
Upon completing her undercover work, Aria De Luca received an invitation to join the Rainbow team.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
Operative Aria de Luca (Alibi) is a great hidden-person: perhaps the consequences of undercover work, but more likely a defense mechanism formed in childhood.

BIOGRAPHY
"Did I tell how we parachuted into the swamps of the Congo one night? Adriano

Martello, the eldest of eight siblings, grew up in Rome, but studied at the military academy in Modena. He later joined the Carabinieri and served as a scout in the 1st Parachute Regiment, also known as Tuscania. After several successful assignments, Martello, who was awarded the silver and bronze medals "For Military Valor", was called up to serve in the Special Intervention Group (G.I.S.). As part of it, he took part in joint operations in Iraq. The scar on his face is the consequence of an IED explosion. In Italy, Adriano also completed several tasks, after which he became an instructor for the training of military units of the 3rd category.

After completing his last assignment, Martello took up consulting and soon gained fame thanks to an excellent training program for 3rd and 2nd category units, as well as soldiers from private military companies. The ranks of Tuscania persuaded him to rejoin the regiment and help one of the squads achieve a promotion. Working in this field allowed Adriano to earn an invitation to the Rainbow team.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
There is no doubt about the leadership qualities of Adriano Martello. He received the call sign "Maestro", as he does not hesitate to help other soldiers pass even a basic training course. Although some of the mentees felt that they did not need support, this practice allowed Martello to improve his own teaching methods. [...] His school file mentions cases of fights: I dare to assume that he was simply standing up for his brothers and sisters. [...]

After learning Dari, Thorne went into intelligence and was transferred to Kabul - a favorite city of foreign journalists, adventurers and criminals. Among the underground figures and local residents, he became famous as a skilled buzkashi player.

Thorne was invited to "The Unit" as a connoisseur of the region. He was left in Kabul and tasked with collecting data, creating agent networks, organizing safe houses, and tracking down enemies. When the situation in the city began to deteriorate, the operative began to ensure the safety of Americans and help locals whose lives were under threat. Thorne was investigating the case of the missing journalist - and suddenly disappeared. Two years later, he came out of the shadows and provided enough data to disrupt the insurgent operation. Despite the suspicious disappearance, Thorne was rehabilitated, and his testimony was classified. The success in the service and the skill of the operative attracted the attention of Six.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE"
I knew about the Maverick operative even before he disappeared. Among the intelligence officers, he earned a reputation as an agent who "became a local." It is quite difficult to find contact with him, as Thorne is extremely intelligent and insightful, but touch on the topic of Kabul or buzkashi - and the conversation can last forever. […]

A city where old people earn money by selling love letters on the corner... no wonder he found himself fascinated by Afghanistan and its culture. When expats began to flood underground clubs and arrange binges in restaurants, operative Thorne realized that soon the guests from the West would have a hard time. He realized earlier than many that a catastrophe was coming.

"If you fight for change, it will come."

Moroua Evans has always been driven by a passion for helping others. As a teenager, she led protests calling for social change. These protests often ended in clashes with police and counter-protesters, leading to Evans being arrested several times. Only after her mentor, Trey Pearson, died defending a store from masked rioters did Moroua realize she needed a different path to achieve her goals. Evans joined the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to try to change the system from within.

Evans rose quickly through the ranks, eventually reaching the rank of detective constable and being awarded the Queen's Medal for Bravery. Thanks to her achievements, Evans was granted permission to attend strategy group meetings and participated in the development of new crowd management tactics. Her experience organizing protests helped her identify the most effective ways to resolve such conflicts. With such achievements, it's no surprise that during the riot that engulfed the city, Morowa was assigned to escort a member of the Union Council on International Security. Evans had a keen understanding of rioter behavior and managed to shield her charge from dangerous confrontations. Impressed by Morowa's resourcefulness, the Council offered her the Rainbow recruit training program.

At the age of 18, Colin McKinley ended up in the Marine Corps. His quick-wittedness and aggressiveness helped him succeed: even minor misdeeds did not prevent Colin from receiving several commendations and the rank of master sergeant. After his third assignment, he resigned from the Marines and joined the U.S. Secret Service's Close Protection Team. During the rebel attack on American diplomats, McKinley saved the life of Secretary of State Baldwin, and when he won the presidential election, he was transferred to the security group of the head of state. As a result, Colin worked in Washington for more than a decade, providing security for important political figures. Completing his second term as president, Baldwin facilitated the transfer of his top personal defense expert to the Rainbow team.
I can read between the lines and therefore understand how Colin McKinley "Warden" became who he is. His defensive skills began to form as a child, when he had to resolve conflicts with his strict father and protect his brothers at school. The experience of serving in the Marine Corps helped to take these skills to a new level.
