Ambassador General Masim Tropart delivers the delicate mission to Colonel Baquiste
“You are fluent in Hastani – speaking and writing! You studied their traditions, history, and governance. But most importantly your present condition truly gave me the confidence that you are the man for this assignment! Not only would you fit the persona I needed, that of a high-ranking army officer to carry out this mission, but your disability would do the trick if you played your part right!” said Masim with a grin.
The Ambassador General, Masim Tropart, a Llehstanzite, was waiting in his library. The man was in his mid-forties, slender, charming, and athletic. He wore thin framed glasses on his face and spoke with a high-pitched tone. An overtly religious man who while being blessed with a dutiful wife and three children, believed that his extra marital affairs were for the wellbeing of Llehstanzite women because it allowed them to keep their marriages and his, from dissolving. It was an open secret among Llehstanzite army men. And as for the civilian Llehstanzite gentlemen, they claimed ignorance in public while privately they negotiated with the ambassador on his interests in their wives. Tropart’s pleasure for a share of the wealth in Hastan, for the men.
