Omair Idrisi, a terrorist who established himself in Libya after the fall of the Gaddafi regime. He was captured in Syria, but after his men infiltrated the army unit escorting him, he is considered so dangerous that British military intelligence re-activated Section 20 to apprehend him. He was radicalised after his father was killed in an airstrike that misidentified its target. Idrisi purchases Stinger missiles from an American arms dealer and plans to unify the factions fighting in Libya to attack Western interests. He is seemingly killed in an airstrike when Section 20 raid his mountainside bunker but is subsequently revealed to have survived and is incarcerated in a secret prison in Poland. Following his escape, he reunites with his wife Jane Lowry and attempts to recover a register of all British military intelligence operations and release it to the Russians.
