K-51

Ken Flynn was the childhood friend of Rick Anthony. Flynn became a secret service agent originally known as K-5. Anthony became a mercenary. He was so well known as such that he even wrote a book about his occupation, called Soldier of Fortune. The two would end up on opposite sides of the war, and Anthony would be executed with a bullet to the back of his head for refusing to fire on his friend. K-5 would fire back at Anthony’s executioner and leader of the rebel forces, but it was little consolation. In the next episode, K-5 became K-51. On this next mission, K-51 met Z-19, a female secret agent and ally. The two would take on spy and traitor Jack Coe. K-51 was forced to shoot Jack Coe in a gunfight on-board a ship. Z-19 developed feelings for K-51.
