Very much liking Russ's idea that the unexpected ally is also the betrayer. Put this guy through the ringer and force him to change his worldview.
This might be premature, but it's looking to me like we're rounding out the major players on Jordi's side of the equation. A quick headcount --
Jordi
Jordi's mom who is going to get whacked
Jordi's dad, who is the missing parent, and whose paranoia is justified. She'll finally track him down for some necessary guidance.
The ambitious military guy who both betrays and becomes Jordi's ally, and then serves as the person she needs to trust.
So, who are the guys on the other side of the ball?
I see the ultimate, top-of-the-heap bad dude being someone in line to ascend to the CEO position of the conglomerate -- almost like he's vying to become king. I think he has staked his bid on the unprecedented revenue the company's subsidiaries are bringing in during this threat of global hostilities. But, also, I think there needs to be more than just greed and power motivating him -- some sort of personal shortcoming he's trying to compensate for.
I can also see a lower level of bad guys who run the individual military contracting companies that utilize their specializations to go after Jordi.
And I can envision a couple boots-on-the-ground bad guys who are charged with actually taking her out.
Russ, what else would you like to add to the equation on either side? Does it feel like we could use one other personality on Jordi's side?
