Assuming a Fake Identity


As spy must disguise their true identity and purpose to remain safe. Some covers are very simple like a fake name. Others are extensive and change every facet of the spy’s previous life. A good spy goes to great lengths to protect their false identities - even after they leave the business of spying. North thirty-nine degrees, zero five point two one nine

If an agent goes deep undercover in hostile territory, they must first do hundreds of hours of preparation work to set up their cover story. No matter how well they and their agency set up their backstory, the spy will need to be a creative role-player to make it convincing.West seventy-seven degrees, three three point eight six two
