"C", Colonel Crepus Q. Lars Dusk, is a fictional character in the animated series Thompson Colton: Agent of MI3. He is the stoic, firm but fatherly head of the MI3, the comtemporary of MI6's "M". C's most valued agent is 0011, Thompson Colton, though he regularly refuses to admit it. The agent's brash and unorthodox methods frequently exasperate C, but in the end he is glad the job gets done. C is good friends with the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, who calls upon the agency each time a crisis pops up.
Early Life
The Colonel enrolled in the military several years before the start of the Second World War, beginning his career as a cipher clerk and decoder. However, Dusk also showed exceptional leadership skills, and the military were worried that his talents were being wasted, even though he was a fine code-breaker. At this time, he only had a short military operation in the Saar to his name.
As such, Dusk was sent into the field, and quickly climbed the ranks within the military. After the death of the head of MI3 in the mid-sixties, Dusk was among the candidates for his replacement. The intelligence community welcomed their new boss with open arms, most secretly happy he wasn't as hard a taskmaster as his predecessor. However, C still maintained order within the MI3, firing and demoting agents whenever necessary. He is good friends with M, the head of the SIS, but appears to have a frictional relationship with Stella Rimmington, head of MI5.
C is frequently shown in his office, briefing 0011 on his latest assignment. This has changed infrequently: at times he is not even seen in the show. At such a high position, however, Dusk's life is frequently threatened. Among the most intense moments was when he was almost fatally stabbed by Free Radical, in a bid to remove Thompson Colton's closest allies in order to break him hard. C has since recovered, and the agency is ever thankful for his realibility in times of strife.
Trivia
