The Jaunge Blone Series
Jaunge Blone is the central character in a series of successful books and films, a Jervan secret Agent who gallivants across the world, Beretta pistol in one hand, and beautiful woman on the other. He loves stirred, not shaken martinis and has worked with other spies from various nations at one point or another. The films themselves have proven an extremely popular export.
The Series
Blone's adventures in some ways parallel those of the Tejano character Jose Timon. Both deal with dashing, womanizing secret agents who protect the world from nefarious plots amid a series of elaborate fight scenes and chases, along with escapes from various death-traps.
The two series are quite different in feel and scope, however. Blone's adventures are much less bloody, and operate on a broader scale. Likewise Blone's films have much bigger budgets, hence more elaborate special effects. His treatment of women can be ruthless, but are much more likely to be a matter of fun between consenting adults.
One of the most prominent antagonists of the series is Siv Azan, the mysterious (and rather Sax Romaine-ish) head of an international organization called the Brotherhood of Order, which seeks to take over the world. Its typical plots involve brainwashing and/or replacement of prominent officials, or the invention/theft of super weapons (death rays, weather control, etc.). Azan himself is portrayed as a genius confined in a wheelchair with a love of orchids. He usually is surrounded by exotic henchmen and/or femme fatales. A meme within the series is Azan's constant escape from what should be certain death and the increasingly exotic nature of his secret lairs (such as the palatial interior of an artificial iceberg).
Blone's immediate superior is known simply as "X".
