MEET THE CHARACTERS
Dark Power Series
By Dr. Naeem Meo
On Christmas Eve, explosions tear through Camp Humphreys in South Korea. Within days, the United States, China, and India are each convinced that one of the others struck first, yet the attacks leave behind no launch platforms, no radar tracks, and no explanation. As a retired veteran of a classified lunar war is called back into service, an unlikely alliance between Earth and the Green Planet races to expose an enemy hidden beneath the Moon, one that can wear the face of anyone. Meet the people at the heart of Secret Triangle, and discover just how much each of them is willing to risk before the final page.
Aadil
“He retired for a reason. Then three nuclear powers went to war, and he was the only one who could see who had really started it.”
ROLE IN THE STORY
A retired veteran of a classified lunar conflict, Aadil is the first to realize that the attacks on America, China, and India were designed to make each nation blame the others. Brought back as a special adviser to the Pentagon, he becomes the strategist behind Operation Shadow Shield and Earth’s vital link to the Green Planet.
PERSONALITY
Calm, analytical, and quietly stubborn, Aadil builds his case one piece of evidence at a time and rarely raises his voice. Beneath that composure, he carries the weight of friends he buried and missions he would rather forget.
BACKGROUND
At sixty-five, Aadil has survived wars, secret operations, and encounters few people would believe. He stepped away from it all to build a peaceful life, and because his identity is known to foreign intelligence services, he agrees to serve only from Washington. Through everything, he remains a devoted son to his ninety-year-old mother.

Thoughtful, protective, and a natural visionary, Aadil-GP has spent his life chasing the unknown, yet he has learned that some discoveries are not worth what they cost.
