Freedom's Hand

Freedom's Hand is the clandestine arm of Danjel Jackson McNaird's authoritarian rule over the Free State of Dungol. They function as a secret police, intelligence agency, and enforcer organization, dedicated to maintaining McNaird's power and suppressing any opposition. Their name is a twisted irony, as their actions directly contradict the very notion of freedom.

Structure

Structure and Hierarchy:

• The Palm (Overall Leadership): While McNaird is the ultimate authority, a shadowy figure or council might oversee the operations of Freedom's Hand, ensuring its loyalty and efficiency. This could be a single individual known as "The Hand" or a small group of McNaird's most trusted advisors. This adds another layer of intrigue and potential for internal conflict.

• The Five Fingers (Divisions): Each division has a distinct purpose and internal hierarchy:

• The Thumb (Enforcers): Led by a "Knuckle," they are organized into smaller "Joints" of 3-5 agents. They focus on brute force, intimidation, and direct action. They often recruit from mercenary groups or former military personnel.
• The Pointers (Investigators): Led by a "Seeker," they are organized into "Eyes" – small teams of investigators specializing in different areas (e.g., interrogation, surveillance, information analysis). They prioritize stealth, subterfuge, and information gathering.
• The Middle Finger (Blackmail and Manipulation): Led by a "Twister," they operate independently or in small cells, focusing on acquiring and exploiting compromising information. They are masters of disguise, social engineering, and psychological manipulation.
• The Ring Finger (Personal Guard): Led by a "Warden," this elite group is composed of McNaird's most loyal and skilled protectors. They are heavily armored and highly trained in close-quarters combat. Their loyalty is absolute.
• The Pinkies (Surveillance and Counterintelligence): Led by a "Watcher," they operate in small, highly mobile teams, focusing on surveillance, information gathering, and spreading disinformation. They are masters of stealth, infiltration, and codebreaking.

Assets

• The Little Fingers (Recruits/Informants): These are the lowest ranks, consisting of informants, spies, and recruits undergoing training. They are used for gathering basic information, running errands, and performing menial tasks.
