Synopsis
Fidelis Cloer is a self-confessed war profiteer. In a career spanning two decades of global turmoil, he has supplied kings, presidents and the odd dictator or two with the finest luxury armored vehicles that money can buy, hand-crafted in Germany. In his world, where security is a commodity, violence and better yet, war present sales opportunities much like rain sells umbrellas. Always with an eye on growth opportunities, Fidelis found the perfect war when the US invaded Iraq. It wasn't about selling a dozen cars; it was about the possibility of selling thousands. But as the war evolved and armor-defeating Improvised Explosive Devices proliferated, "survivability" became his sales pitch and Fidelis quickly found himself engaged in a pathological arms race with insurgents who upped their explosive ante to defeat his increasingly higher and more expensive levels of armor. In war, as in life, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
