Kwon

Kwon is a childhood friend and later lover of Mei. Like Mei, he was trained from childhood to become a sleeper agent and thus they represent the only genuine relationship the two have ever had. Kwon's career takes him into politics and he is assigned to be Mei's "liaison" upon her return to Korea; in reality, he is to spy on her. Mei repeatedly advises him to report that she is corrupt as a way of avoiding retribution when she is found responsible for the failure of the missile programme. However, Kwon kills a senior officer to aid her escape and the two turn rogue.
