Name

 * 1) The Dude

Summary
The Dude is a morally 'correct' character and the obvious protagonist of the story. He is an investigator working for the Govt. and is directed to find out more information about the recent spate of event surrounding ISIS and other seemingly connected events.

He acts as a stand in for the reader and it is largely through his eyes that the world is explored and explained. His investigation and the connections he makes is what drives the story and is how the story is unraveled to the reader.

As an investigator is quiet competent and has good instincts, even though he may not be the best fighter or warrior.

He will become the Eventual Kalki by the machinations of the Real Kalki.

Is introduced to the Politician early on and form an unlikely alliance in the investigation. He will look into the dirty business on the ground, while The Politician looks at the larger picture, dealing with politics, religion, economy, policy etc (essentially investigating the Govt. in order to reveal the plot).

Character Arc Trinity
The idea is to have the obvious protagonist slowly morph into the antagonist by the end of the series, through a gradual removal of empathy from an otherwise morally correct and empathetic character.
