HEROES

Chris is a weathered construction worker whose rough exterior mirrors years of physical labor and mental strain. A heavy drinker influenced by his hard-living co-workers, he’s grounded in realism, jaded by life’s disappointments, and resigned to a fate far from his youthful ambitions. Once a promising UFC fighter, Chris was forced to abandon those dreams, the cage now a distant memory that haunts him in quiet moments.

Despite his cynicism, Chris's unwavering love for his younger brother Eric and steadfast loyalty to his wife Jo reveal a man still driven by deep connections, even as he battles inner demons, lost dreams, and a growing fear that life’s harsh realities have worn out his once hopeful spirit.

Eric, a career Air Force CH-47 Chinook pilot, has three years in the classified UFO retrieval program, his faith in the system slowly eroding. Once an idealist, he now wrestles with secrecy, duty, and morality, recording everything in a meticulous journal - a coded log of retrieval missions, classified craft, base locations, and hidden truths the world isn’t ready for. Knowing exposure means death, he hides the journal for Chris to find, ensuring the truth doesn’t die with him. 

His tragic arc fuels Chris’s transformation, forcing his once-skeptical brother to finish what Eric started - unraveling a conspiracy that threatens not just their lives, but the fate of humanity itself, as powerful forces close in from all sides.

Gabriella "Gabi" Mendez is a sharp-witted Air Force CH-47 Chinook pilot in the UFO retrieval program, excelling under pressure with tactical precision. Hard-nosed and disciplined, she thrives in high-stakes environments, but beneath her armor lies a guarded heart shaped by a lifelong bond with Eric—a fellow pilot she grew up with and has always trusted above all others.

Thrown into crisis with Chris, Gabi becomes his anchor—steady, focused, and unshaken—even as he unravels. Their unspoken connection deepens as they’re forced to trust each other while hunted by powerful forces.

Now on the run with Chris and Old Hawk, Gabi’s tactical instincts become crucial as they navigate danger and conspiracy.

Joanna “Jo” Walker is an artist and photography teacher whose love for Chris and his missing brother Eric runs deep. Raised in Utah by parents in the aerospace industry, she could have pursued a life of financial security, but she was drawn to the realism of life over material gain. 

After a painful divorce from her high school sweetheart, she moved to Nevada and found true love with Chris, embracing their modest but fulfilling life together. Jo is warm, social, and effortlessly supportive, yet she carries a quiet strength shaped by the lessons of her past. She values love, trust, loyalty, and self-worth, making her not just Chris’s wife but his emotional anchor in a world crumbling around him.

A sharp, charismatic investigative journalist with an online following in the millions, Logan Marshall is the face of modern Disclosure - balancing viral reach with principled reporting. Through his hit podcast and livestream series, “Redacted,” Logan interviews whistleblowers, scientists, and military insiders, unraveling the tangled web of UFO secrecy.

With a reputation built on facts, not fringe, he walks the tightrope between mainstream credibility and underground truth-seeking. Passionate, informed, and relentlessly curious, Logan’s reach makes him a powerful ally - or a dangerous threat to those working to keep the truth buried.

Tawodi "Old Hawk" Kanati is a proud and serene Cherokee elder whose ancient mysticism grants him uncanny intuition and a deep connection to unseen realms. His knowledge of the UFO phenomenon isn’t just folklore - it’s lived experience, intertwined with spiritual wisdom passed down for generations. 

A protector against forces beyond comprehension, he wields rituals, symbols, and sacred artifacts that disrupt psionic interference, shielding Chris and Jo from the Mirror Men’s powers. Stoic yet unwaveringly loyal, he guides Chris through deception, warning that some truths demand great sacrifice. A bridge between worlds, Old Hawk fights not just for revelation - but for balance in the chaos to come.

A ghost in the corridors of power, Dr. Harrison Weller is a former Cold War-era CIA operative turned architect of global manipulation. Recruited into the ultra-classified BLACK REALITY program in 1969, Weller was trained in psionics—precognition, telekinesis, telepathy, and psychic warfare—at the height of U.S. paranoia over Soviet mind-tech advancements. But by the 1990s, disillusioned and ambitious, Weller splintered off to form his own covert faction: the Mirror Men.

Now the invisible hand behind the intelligence community, Weller uses advanced, nonhuman-tech eyeglasses linked to his psionic abilities to glimpse future timelines, bending events before they unfold. Calm, clinical, and unsettlingly precise, Weller is less a man than a weaponized consciousness - one who has obstructed Disclosure and First Contact for decades and is the custodian of civilization’s illusion of order.

 The Mirror Men are not mere black-budget operatives - they are the unseen architects of control, forged in the CIA’s BLACK REALITY program, a Cold War-era psyops initiative designed to manipulate perception and suppress emerging threats. Originally trained in psychological warfare, they evolved into something far more insidious, infiltrating the highest levels of intelligence. More than assassins, they are custodians of knowledge capable of collapsing governments, rewriting physics, and shifting global dominance. With psionic abilities - telepathy, time distortion, remote viewing and telekinesis - they are near-unstoppable. 

Bound by a brotherhood dating back decades, they answer to no nation, only their own hidden agenda. But as Chris, Jo and Old Hawk disrupt their grip, their dominion faces its first true challenge.

The cunning intermediary between the U.S. intelligence community and a rogue faction, Voss is the linchpin keeping both sides in check. To the government, she is the calculating head of UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering efforts. In truth, she serves the hidden faction led by Dr. Weller and his Mirror Men, ensuring alien technology remains under their control.

A master manipulator, she eliminates threats with cold precision, convinced secrecy is the only safeguard against global chaos. Her ties to defense contractors and black-budget projects grant her near-limitless reach.

As the war for control escalates, Voss walks a perilous line - playing both sides in a game where even she may be expendable.

A former colleague of Eric’s in the UFO retrieval program, Trask is a calculating and ambitious antagonist driven by greed and personal gain. Ruthlessly loyal to those in power, he profits from the cover-up, exploiting secrets for his own advancement. 

His charm masks a dangerous, cunning individual, making him an unpredictable and formidable adversary. Trask’s betrayal of Eric fuels his relentless pursuit of control, placing him in direct conflict with those seeking truth, as he stops at nothing to protect his interests and silence those who threaten them. Privately, Trask lives an opulent lifestyle, indulging in luxury, status, and fleeting relationships.

Dr. Rohan Kapoor is a brilliant physicist specializing in recovered alien technology. A Princeton graduate, he once believed secrecy was necessary, but he’s uncovered a disturbing truth - a rogue faction has been stealing breakthroughs in anti-gravity, advanced weaponry, and psionics, operating beyond U.S. intelligence and Congressional oversight. 

Long loyal to Director Voss, he now realizes he’s been deceived. Kapoor isn’t an idealist, but he knows when he’s been used and discarded. Now, he faces a choice: stay silent and remain complicit or risk everything to expose the truth. For the first time, Kapoor isn’t just chasing knowledge - he’s questioning who controls it and why.

Commander Nathan Rourke is a seasoned military officer, forged by duty, discipline, and legacy. With a CIA father and a wartime intelligence grandfather, loyalty to secrecy was instilled from birth. He and Eric enlisted together, forming a deep bond - until Eric questioned their mission. Rourke, rising quickly through the ranks, handpicked Eric for the UFO retrieval program, never expecting his friend to betray the cause. 

Rourke sees protecting classified knowledge as patriotism, not deception, making Eric’s actions a personal and professional betrayal. 

Now, torn between loyalty and duty, Rourke must hunt the man he once called brother.
