Each Agent has papers supporting multiple
identities, each under a single name. These include:
» A citizen of the Islamic State residing in Mosul.
» An inspector from Al-Hisbah, ISIL’s morality
and religious police, or from the all-female
Al-Khansaa Brigade.
» An officer of Amn al-Dakhili, a unit of the secret
service responsible for maintaining law and order.
(Males only.)
» An officer of Amn al-Askari, a unit of the secret
service in charge of reconnaissance and special
operations, assigned from Raqqa to Mosul.
(Males only.)
» An officer of Amn al-Dawla, a counterintelligence
service in charge of finding traitors and spies, assigned
from Raqqa to Mosul. (Males only.)

» An officer of Amn al-Kharji, the department of
secret operations conducted outside the caliphate,
assigned to operations command in Raqqa.
(Males only.)
Amn al-Dakhili, Amn al-Askari, Amn al-Dawla,
and Amn al-Kharji are all parts of the Emni (a transliteration
of “Amn,” meaning trust or security), the
ISIL secret service established by former intelligence
officials from the Hussein regime. Membership in any
part of the Emni is a prize. It requires high status and
confers higher status. Members are tested in other
assignments before being promoted to the Emni.
The civilian ID, Al-Hisbah ID, and Amn al-Dakhili
ID are local to Mosul. Amn al-Askari ID, Amn
al-Dawla ID , and Amn al-Kharji ID are made out
as officials from outside of Mosul, in order to avoid
encountering individuals who are familiar with the
Mosul staff of these internal security apparati.

If an Agent is challenged on details
of an ID and has not prepared recently, an INT×5
test may be necessary to avoid flubbing the details.

Col. Gwin warns the Agents not to rely too much
on their cover identities. Any amount of digging will
reveal them to be false. The number of Amn al-Dawla
agents in Mosul is especially small and closely knit. If
you are operating in Mosul, they might wonder, why
didn’t you check in with the local office so that we
would know you were here and what you were working
on?
