Background
Essentials
The product of a privileged, yet disturbed upbringing, Emile Dufraisne has always believed that he was destined for greatness. In his teens he orchestrated the brutal murder of a local policeman, for which he seemed truly repentant, yet during his term in juvenile detention he was surrounded by suspicious deaths. Several years after his release, Emile founded the JBA, an organization that has frequently been suspected of, but never satisfactorily tied in to any criminal activity.
Version 2 of Double Agent
The product of a wealthy, traditional upbringing, Emile Dufraisne was always destined for great things. His belief that America needs to change in a fundamental way moved him to create the JBA, a group devoted to bringing about change through the destruction of the current, decadent order. Some would call him a terrorist, but Emile considers himself a patriot.[1]
