More late-19th century Bordurian Secret Police

Following on from my last post, here are the next two recruits for my Bordurian Active Service cell for In Her Majesty's Name.

These figures are also Copplestone "Back of Beyond" Bolsheviks and the tufts are, once again Gamer's Grass from Bad Squiddo.

These are two officers of the Second Directorate, also known as the Sekuritat, responsible for domestic State Security, although Security Police are known to work closely with the agents of the Informat, the infamous Intelligence Services of the Third Directorate.

The figure on the left is Leitenant Eirena Karras, whose fame comes from her loud singing voice, which she frequently uses to urge the troops on to great feats of revolutionary fervour. Her power as a revolutionary orator is another of her assets, although she is also a good shot and a dedicated and thorough investigator.

Accompanying her is Inspektor Pyotr Mavros, nicknamed "The Priest", because it is said that everyone always confesses to him in the end. His family were exiles under the Autocracy, living in the slums of the Syldavian city of Bellicosow, constantly under the surveillance of the Syldavian Königliche Gendarmerie. The young Pyotr was recruited by the local undercover cell of the Proletarian Alliance and returned to Borduria when the last Autokrat, Constantine IV was overthrown.

Incidentally, my chosen map of Syldavia and environs is a wonderful thing that I found on the http://syldavianchronicle.blogspot.com/ blog, which unhappily no longer seems to be active. It is a terrific piece of work and I hope that I am not infringing anyone's copyright by using it.
