**Major Kabir Dhaliwal** is a former RAW Agent who was once considered India’s best agent, then turned rogue and killed top but corrupt officials, scientists and officers in the Indian establishment, targeting and executing them viciously across the world. He also led an Elite Shadow Unit of RAW, a compact group of the crème de la crème of the armed forces who were personally trained by him and assisted him on various high-risk missions across the world

## Biography

Nothing much is known about Kabir's past other than he was considered to be one of RAW's best agents alongside Jim. He killed his fellow agent-turned-traitor Abdul Rahmani after he killed his partner who was standing between Kabir and Abdul. Later he went on to form his own special unit.

### Hunting Ilyasi

Rizwan Ilyasi was branded **India's Enemy Number One**. He was a cunning **Global Terrorist**, but he was just a businessman in the eyes of international community. All of his attacks were targeted on India.

* Jammu - 2009
* Kolkata - 2013
* Surat - 2015
* Hyderabad - 2017

Kabir was tracking Ilyasi since 2012 but every time, Ilyasi's undercover men **leaked intel** and he escaped Kabir.

### Capturing Basheer Hassib

After finding out links with Rizwan Ilyasi, Kabir and team goes to capture Basheer Hassib, a militant rebel commander in Iraq. Kabir acts as a decoy and allows Hassib to capture himself and to take Kabir to his hideout. As Kabir is taken to hideout, the location of the hideout is revealed. Khalid barges in the hideout with an armoured vehicle and kills Hassib's men followed by other team members. Khalid displays his exceptional marksmanship and combat skills. During the mission, Kabir observes that Khalid misses the targets (the targets at Khalid's right side) that he could have shot earlier. After Khalid's vehicle got wrecked, Khalid engages in hand-to-hand combat and assists Kabir in knocking out Hassib.

### Marrakesh Ambush

After capturing Basheer Hassib from an ISIS controlled area in Tikrit, Ilyasi is forced to come out from hiding. Kabir's team goes after Ilyasi at Marrakesh where Saurabh reveals himself as the mole by killing Prateek and Muthu. Saurabh also tries to kill Kabir but is saved by Khalid who shields Kabir and takes the bullet. After Saurabh reveals himself as one of Ilyasi's spies, a fierce gunfigt breaks out. Saurabh tries to escape but is chased by Khalid leaving Kabir alone. Kabir skillfully overpowers Ilyasi's men in the gunfight. He gets out of cover and proceeds to detain Ilyasi but more of Ilyais's men arrive and he gets shot at neck, losing consciousness. After 6 days, Kabir wakes up in the hospital. Khalid (Saurabh) is found unconscious at the sea shore and reports that he killed Saurabh but his body is never found. The overall mission turned out to be a failure and Ilyasi vanished as if he never existed.

### Eye on Contractor

Months later, RAW found out a strong lead on Rizwan Ilyasi through Firoze Contractor who was laundering all of Rizwan's money. After the Marrakesh Mission, Kabir disbanded his team and decided to work solo to track down Ilyasi. Kabir followed Firoze to Italy and got a chance to hack Firoze's database through Naina Sahani, a club dancer and a struggling mother. Firoze was staying at Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como and Kabir was keeping an eye from a yatch on Lake Como. Kabir got to know that the Ilyasi had four spies (हाथी, घोडा, वजीर, प्यादा) in the Indian Army, Government and Intelligence who leaked the intel.

When Kabir sent in Naina, he reported it to Colonel Luthra who further reported it to his senior officers. While going through the list of Firoze's girlfriends, Aditi found out an old camera footage of Firoze Contractor and Dr. Mallika Singhal, dated March 12th. After checking out the CCTV records, Kabir found out that Firoze was Ilyasi but it was too late. Firoze knew about Kabir and Naina. He murdered Naina and escaped the villa.

### Going Rogue

After six months of research with Aditi, Kabir found out the first traitor - Senior Analyst V.K. Naidu (Rook - हाथी). At the time, Kabir was tasked to kill Farid Haqqani in Syria with the assistance of Naidu from New Delhi. But Kabir used it as a cover to kill Naidu, by rigging the equipment a few days before. Before dying, Naidu revealed the name to the Ilyasi's other spy - Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Shroff (Knight - घोडा). With a headshot, Kabir finally kills Naidu. With this, Kabir is marked as a rogue agent. Jimmy Shroff was transporting goods in a carrier plane when Kabir came and hijacked the plane and killed Shroff. Shroff confessed that his task was to handover a drive from Dr. Utpal Biswas to Rizwan Ilyasi.

Kabir confronts Khalid in the metro but the latter is unable to pull out his gun because of the looming risk of hurting civilians. Kabir gives two options to Khalid, He will either tell his motive or his next target. Khalid chose to know his next target - Dr. Utpal Biswas (Queen - वजीर). Dr. Utpal Biswas was ISRO's chief for 9 years and was also one of the key people in launching Brahma Defence Satellite. Dr. Biswas creates a drive for Ilyasi that contains algorithms to find out the exact position of the defence satellite. Khalid is sent to Portugal to escort Dr. Biswas. On the way back to India, the escort convoy gets attacked by Ilyasi's men. Khalid's vehicle gets crashed. Kabir snipes and kills all of the Ilyasi's men present at the site and takes away the drive. After Khalid accidently shoots Dr. Biswas, Kabir runs away in a bike and is successful in escaping Khalid.

### Khalid Joins in

After failure of Dr. Biswas's escort, Khalid is kicked out of the team (the team responsible for stopping Kabir). Khalid then looks up to the details of Kabir's last mission on Italy, where he finds out about Naina and follows Kabir to understand his motive. Kabir explains Ilyasi's conspiracy and how the ranks of Indian Government and Intelligence have been infiltrated by Ilyasi's Spies. Having made contact with Kabir, Khalid was also flagged by the Indian officials and faced open fire. Kabir became suspicious of Khalid when he saw and dodged a bullet which was fired from his right side.

While on the way to get the drive (which he gave to Aditi to decrypt and to place a tracker), Aditi informed Kabir of a missing vial of TTX in the RAW HQ for which no log record was submitted. After connecting all the dots, Kabir was almost sure that Khalid may be Saurabh. Kabir handed the drive to Khalid to keep it safe until they got to Colonel Luthra but Khalid poisoned Kabir and revealed himself to be Saurabh (Pawn - प्यादा).

### The Battle at Arctic

Saurabh takes the drive to Ilyasi after he thought he killed Kabir. Kabir followed him to the Arctic circle where an ASAT was locked on the Brahma Satellite. By the time Kabir reached the vessel, the weapon was already fired and it was 10 minutes away from the target. Kabir infiltrated the vessel and told Saurabh that he already of knew of his intentions and had a antidote ready. He also revealed that the drive, which he gave to Saurabh had a tracker to locate him and it was programmed to lock onto the coordinates of launch site i.e. the vessel.

Kabir took Ilyasi hostage and ordered Saurabh to drop down the gun Instead Saurabh killed Ilyasi and escaped in a car. Kabir also got of of the vessel in a car just seconds before the vessel was destroyed by the missile. Kabir chased him and crashed into an abandoned church. He confronts Saurabh who puts up a stand, causing a bloody fight with Saurabh impaling Kabir's hand with a blade. Kabir fist fights and beats up Saurabh, declaring that he tainted Khalid's face. He back kicks Saurabh over the floor ledge and brings down a supporting structure, crushing the entire building dome on him.

### Aftermath

After Ilyasi and his spies in the Indian agencies were wiped out, he revealed himself only to Colonel Luthra that he will be still working with the interests of Indian Government while staying undercover as a rogue agent. He also requested Colonel Luthra to declare that Khalid is a martyr for stopping Saurabh and Ilyasi. Kabir, who is still believed by the agency to be a traitor, spends time with Ruhi and feels proud of seeing Khalid and his mother, Nafeesa getting the respect they actually deserved and after a brief conversation with Colonel Luthra, Kabir continues with his next covert operation against Farid Haqqani.
