The characters in the above picture are Mr. White and Mr. Edgar from Quetin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" and Our film "Interceptors" respectively. I have chosen to compare our character to a character from Reservoir Dogs as it seems fitting to compare ourselves to the movie we drew a lot of inspiration from.
The characters of Mr. White and Mr. Edgar are quite similar in some regards. The first is that they are both addressed by the title "Mr." (Although we only find this out about Mr. Edgar in the credits). The fact they don't have full names or are presumably working under pseudonyms suggests that they are shifty men and must always be kept under close surveillance. Another comparison is that they are both "Boss"-like characters. They are calm under pressure and are typically the ones calling the shots. This is evident in Reservoir Dogs when Mr.White is the one ordering around Mr. Pink and taking care of Mr. Orange. It is also evident in our movie in that Mr. Edgar is the one ordering Mr. Cooper around.
Mr Edgar also resembles the "Boss" Archetype in general. He is the one in control and he is the one ordering around his subordinate (Mr. Cooper). He disciplines and punishes those who he does not like (DCI Woods) and tells his subordinate to finish the work for him, rather than do it himself.
