| − | =Algie=
| |
| − | Anglo Australian pilot. English educated and independently wealthy. Bit rough around the edges but more ‘tally ho old chap’ than ‘g’day cobber’. 5'8", slim, tanned with receding fair hair and a trim moustache. He wears a Chinese army quilted jacket most of the time, with fur hat and goggles. His trademark mauser obvious at his hip.
| |
| − | Chirpy and good natured, he loves to drink and go dancing, which with his pronounced limp he’s pretty crap at. A womanizing cad at worst, at best a stout comrade with nerves of steel.
| |
| − | During the day he can be found either at his Godown on the river or organizing a ' Smuggling run' with one of his myriad of contacts.At night at any one of the many Clubs and Bordello's, carousing until the early hours, a bevy of beautiful girls in tow...

| − | *Algie comes from a well to do Anglo-Australian family. His Father is a local Australian politician and owner of a large cattle station in North Western Australia. His Mothers family are from the Bahamas, where Algie lived for a while post WWI.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *During the War he served with No1 Squadron in Egypt, later to be called No67 and saw action in the Palestine campaign. He was badly injured when his plane was shot down and still walks with a slight limp . The associated pain leads to binges on local opium.

| |
| − | *Immediately after the War he worked for Aeromarine, flying the Miami to Bimini route. He bought one of their old planes a Curtiss F-5L seaplane /Aeromarine 75(cargo or 12-14 passengers)and decided to set himself up in business freighting cargoes. First he ran a few jobs around the Middle East for his brother Captain ‘Blue’ Carmichael but ended back in Australia based in Darwin. His brother (an exploration facilitator) then got a few jobs based from Shanghai setting up expeditions into the interior.

| |
| − | *So now Algie has been in Shanghai for 10 years and has set up a fairly successful freighting business; Shanghai Freight (on and above the water). The major employers being The KMT and The Green Gang, but he will happily work for who ever has cash. Jobs tend to entail speedy deliveries, gun running and carrying people. It’s been a bit quiet recently due to problems with a certain Major in the KMT. Has a few official 'jobs': easy mail runs to out lying areas, taxi service for officials, supply runs etc,which provide cover for his less salubrious endeavors and a steady income to cover costs and wages.

It was at one particular jazz club that he heard '''Edie''' sing and instantly fell for her looks and charm.
