Agent Mochou

Agent Mochou (莫愁) is a spy for the People's Liberation Army in Appalachia in 2103.

Background
A lifelong agent trained from birth in the People's Republic of China for this singular purpose, Mochou was assigned to the American theater and worked closely with other communist operatives against the American war effort. Orders and a lifetime of being shaped to think as Chinese commanders wanted her to think resulted in an incredibly capable and loyal agent until the Great War happened and Mochou realized the two superpowers both lied to their people, manipulating them like puppets.

Once she saw the puppeteers, she realized she wanted nothing to do with any of it and disappeared into the wasteland. She assumed that all governments had fallen, including China. However, she was wrong: Another pre-War asset, loyal to the communist cause beyond nuclear fire, tracked her down using trackers embedded in her gear, and presented an ultimatum: Follow orders or die. She abandoned her family, disappearing overnight, to avoid dragging them into the invisible war.

Quests
