A dubious diplomat asks his driver, "How much longer to the embassy?" A black Cadillac speeds over an overpass. "I believe it'll be around twenty minutes, sir." There's a gear shift, and the driver declares, "Huh?" His hands start to twitch at the wheel as he mentions that the brakes aren't working. He struggles to keep his eyes on the road and applies pressure to the breaks. "Whoa- hey there! Keep your eyes on the road!" Although the driver keeps applying the brakes often, the automobile starts to veer toward the shoulder.

"Be careful... Stop!" The man exclaims. The Cadillac loses control and slams into the shoulder, skidding off the overpass and onto the oncoming traffic below." The diplomat was traveling to Ostania when he passed away and sustained mortal injuries. It was believed that the East Republican Party was responsible for his tragic death through assassination."

An intelligence agency's chief makes a case on board. Agents and elite individuals gather around a large table in a dimly lit room scanning the crime scene with photographs in their hands. The Chief continues, "It's becoming more and more obvious that the Westalis people were attempting to instigate a full-scale conflict. No matter the cost, we have to figure out their scheme." An agent stops his mind from racing, knowing exactly who he wants to target for this specific task. "Let's get him on the job," This agent didn't require an introduction. His résumé was already more than capable of handling any assignment. "With stakes this high, we need the best agent we got, Twilight."

An investigator takes out a collection of pictures that were shot specifically of his subject. His ally, Edgar was getting a little uneasy in the dimly lit alleyway where he was getting this information. "Here are the goods, as promised." With deliberate attention, the crime lord goes through the photos, noting his adversary's unusual haircut. "This demonstrates that the foreign minister has a toupee. Even yet, I have drawbacks." The bearded man receives a USB from the investigator that has all the information he is supposed to obtain from the foreign minister.

"Well done." With a menacing grin, the man with facial hair stated his intentions. "This will help seal his resignation," he says, waving the pictures in the air. It is a pleasure conducting business with you." Edgar departs in his Bentley. With his palm on the tip of his fedora, the investigator observes as the automobile makes a sharp bend.

"Hey," he turns around and is startled by someone behind him. "How about you hand over the goods now?" The crime lord who had just driven off was there, right in front of him like an illusion. The investigator stares back and forth in a panic, stating, "Huh? How come you were only-? He yanks at his hair, scared and frustrated. "I got duped!" He screams.

After assuming the identity of the man, Rafe Cameron takes off his silicon mask. Twilight is the code name. Operating as a spy. With his left hand on the wheel, he hurls the silicon mask into the back of his Bently. He carefully puts on his spectacles after taking out his pair, maintains his eyes on the road, and drives on. Westalis's intelligence organization, W.I.S.E., employed Twilight as an agent. Rafe had survived such undertakings by becoming a master of disguise, able to assume hundreds of different looks, in an era where the nations of the globe fight a violent information war in the shadows.

That same evening, Rafe finds himself picking at his steak while seated in an expensive restaurant with executives he would much rather not be in the same vicinity. "Father has been in such a foul mood lately because someone stole pics of his toupee or something." That evening, he disguised himself as "Robert" and sat across from a dissatisfied Karen, so he didn't completely remove his mask.

The blonde spent the entire night babbling. "How even?" She went on, "Ugh, I'm so angry...Are you even listening, Robert?" she asked as he finally bit into his steak. He slices off more of the portion. "Um, what? Yes, that's correct. It is unfortunate." His eyes never wavered, eyeing the juicy steak. Just as she is going to object, a man proposes to his girlfriend, and a throng bursts into applause. "So, Robert, do you think that'll be us one day?" She admires the adorable couple cuddling up to each other, resting her chin on her hand. "Karen, let's break up." Not even a beat went by. She lets go and says, "What?!" With a weary expression on his face, Rafe uses a handkerchief to clean his mouth. "A rock would make for a more engaging conversational partner."
