Sentinels of the Multiverse: The Scholar (Exp.) (engl.)
Aliases: John RhodesAge: 58, give or take a few...Height: 5â 9âWeight: 220 lbsHair Color: Light BrownEye Color: BrownBirthplace: Anchorage, AlaskaPower Source: Alchemy, The Philosopherâs StoneGroup Affiliation: NoneOccupation: Drifter, Vagabond, Alchemist, Polymath, AdventurerFirst Appearance: Mystery Comics #1No one really knows where John came from. He just showed up one day in the Everglades on his houseboat. The gators didnât seem to pay him much attention. Once in awhile, one would crawl up on his boat, and John would come out and talk to it in hushed tones until it wandered off.Folks found John strange, but it was clear he wasn't trouble. Just a kindly old coot who kept to himself. All sorts of stories were made up about the strange, swamp-dweller, but none came close to the truth. John Rhodes was, in fact, the worldâs most talented alchemist, and wielder of the Philosopherâs Stone.John had always had an affinity for altering the very threads of existence. He could feel them as they stretched around him, connecting everything to everything else. So, when those lines drew him to a mysterious, glowing stone, he knew it was right and proper to take it with him. The stone allows him to twist the lines, rather than just perceive them, and he can now easily transmute objects into other materials.John, The Scholar, mostly keeps to himself, though heâs always willing to share a bit of wisdom and a bite to eat with anyone who passes by. However, now and again, he feels the ley-lines pull and twang sharply, which shouldnât happen. Heâll travel from one place to another, easing the tension on the lines by stopping the odd, extra-planar entity from entering this dimension, or keeping the crazed scientist from pulling the moon into the earth, or halting the nightmarish legions of a comatose little girl. Sometimes, heâll work with other gentle souls to accomplish his goal - he doesnât mind a little company now and then.Mainly he just wants to keep things copacetic.- Shop: Milan-Spiele

Sentinels of the Multiverse: Miss Information (Exp.) (engl.)
Aliases: Aminia TwainAge: 31Height: 5â 4âWeight: 130Hair Color: Mousey BrownEye Color: HazelBirthplace: Kansas CityPower Source: Multi-dimensional Resurrection, In-depth knowledge of heroesFirst Appearance: Freedom Five Annual #3They. . . didn't save me."The darkness closed in around her, pressing, crushing, choking. Aminia felt blind panic, like shadowed hands squeezing her desperately thudding heart up again her ribs and then-- nothing. Darkness. Silence. And one thought: "They didn't save me."Suddenly, the light hit her eyelids with searing brightness as she snapped into life with a jolt. She gasped for air. "Ms. Twain? Are you alright?" Dr. Stinson asked quickly."Hiccups?" Mr. Parsons asked in his usual, genial manner. She felt her stomach churn - how did she ever find that phony charisma so charming? She smiled weakly and nodded, feigning another hiccup, before excusing herself from the meeting for a cup of water. Shutting the door behind her, she melted, stunned, on the other side of the wall. The meeting continued on within the room behind her - they didn't even notice her absence.What happened? Her eyes darted around the familiar headquarters of the Freedom Five, but not everything seemed like how she'd left it. Things were different. She was different. She had died. The darkness had lifted to unveil a changed world. Or perhaps, perhaps only she had changed? She went to the sink to fill the "World's Finest Assistant" mug Dr. Stinson gave her three years before they let her die. This one's handle had yet to crack.This world was most definitely different than the one she left, but no difference cast such a stark contrast as the difference she felt inside. No longer was she the devoted, sheepish secretary who alerted the Freedom Five to where trouble emerged, who placed orders for Tachyon's many pairs of new footwear, who copied memos from the President, who washed sweaty spandex uniforms. Now, she was awake.Aminia straightened up her jacket and opened the door to return to the job she perfected in her previous life. No longer would she skip date night to remove every fleck of red dust from their precious equipment. Nor would she lose sleep worrying about the calls she would make to loved ones with bad news after a battle. For never again would she shed a tear for the Freedom Five. No. For now, all she heard amid the cheer of the grateful crowds and the praise of the adoring public was that one final thought. They had a choice - me, their devoted servant, who gave EVERYTHING . . . or five total strangers."They didn't save me.""Can they save themselves?""- Shop: Milan-Spiele

Mr Nice, Hörbuch, Digital, 171min
During the mid-1980s, Howard Marks had 43 aliases, 89 phone lines, and owned 25 companies throughout the world. Whether bars, recording studios, or offshore banks, all were money-laundering vehicles serving his core activity: dope dealing. Marks began to deal small amounts of hashish while doing a postgraduate philosophy course at Oxford, and soon he was moving much larger quantities into Europe and into America. The academic life began to lose its allure. At the height of his career, he was smuggling consignments of up to 50 tons from Pakistan and Thailand to America and Canada and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA, and the Mafia. Numerous newspaper profiles, books, and television documentaries have been devoted to Howard Mark's life. Touched with humour, charm, and candour, Mr Nice is his own extraordinary story.

Dromedaries
An important role was played in the armed struggle against the Russian authorities by women who were active within the Polish Socialist Party's paramilitary units. In underground jargon they were known as Dromaderki, the feminine form of the Polish word for dromedaries-the one-humped Arabian camels used to transport people and goods-because they carried weapons, ammunition and explosive materials. In the Czestochowa district alone there were several dozen of them. Unfortunately, most of them have remained anonymous; the names or aliases of only a few of them have survived to the present day. In 'civilian' life they were students, teachers, doctors, housewives or factory workers. Active involvement in the fight for independence meant the risk of imprisonment, lengthy sentences to hard labour, or exile to Siberia. From the afterword by Juliusz Setowski- Shop: buecher

Insane Roots: The Adventures of a Con-Artist and Her Daughter: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
Growing up, Tiffany Rochelle had no reason to believe her mother was not who she claimed to be, but that all changed when she was nine. She learned her mother had been living under a false identity since before she was born, and that the name her mother had used on her birth certificate wasn't real. From that point, Tiffany's life was never the same. By the time she was 25, her mother had used 27 known aliases and had created just as many lives to go along with them. As she got older and "found" herself in the world of art, Tiffany realized that even if she could have chosen her mother, she would have chosen no differently. Tiffany knew that she would not have achieved success as an artist were it not for her mother's insane roots. Tiffany Rochelle's story shows how true the saying, "You can't choose your family" is and why you should be grateful for them. ungekürzt. Language: English.
