Jan Engel

Jan Engel is a minor character in QIA. He served as the antagonist for the second season episode, "Nottingham".
== Biography ==
Engel was a known terrorist, responsible for an attack in 2015, in Heidelberg. Some time after that, he joined the Reclaimers, and had been linked with three attempted quantum infractions, including the car bombing in Moscow.
In August 2020, he and two other Reclaimers, Frank Fischer and Harvey Kinnock, attempted another infraction involving the detonation of a highly destructive bomb in Nottingham, 2014. Originally, this act would have required his own sacrifice, suggesting his high dedication to the cause.
Unlike many quantum terrorists, Engel displayed much cunning and forethought; he had Fischer and Kinnock follow Agents Tom Burt and Ethan Taylor as they followed him; the two Reclaimers attacked the two agents, allowing Engel to get away. He later also had Fischer lure Ethan and Sarah Cunnington into a trap, which resulted in him tying them to the bomb. Engel then attempted to trick the two captured agents into detonating the bomb for him. When questioned, Engel told Ethan that his reason for the terrorist act was "to fix your mistakes". 
Engel was outwitted when Ethan realised that he had been bluffing and that the bomb required someone to activate it - hence Engel's original death. Along with Tom, Ethan was then able to foil Engel's plans, and he and his two colleagues were all captured and arrested. ("Nottingham")
