12 roles
LEAD. A painfully ordinary HR guy with debt, anxiety, and just enough moral flexibility to accidentally land a job at a secret world-domination company in Greenland. Simon is neurotic, funny, deeply out of his depth, but surprisingly capable when survival kicks in.
A sharp, ambitious saleswoman who gets mistaken for a high-level procurement candidate. Piper is fast-talking, practical, and tougher than she looks, with a natural survival instinct that makes her unexpectedly useful in a room full of villains.
PRINCIPAL CHARACTER. The ice-cold Head of “Operations” at Handrails International. Elegant, ruthless, and terrifyingly efficient, Cassandra runs the day-to-day chaos of a corporate supervillain operation with zero patience for incompetence.
PRINCIPAL CHARACTER. A gigantic, dark-haired, bearded henchman with an Eastern European accent and the emotional range of a battering ram. Intimidating and oddly poetic, Lugash is loyal, literal, and capable of terrifying violence with casual ease.
PRINCIPAL CHARACTER. The eccentric, hyper-confident genius behind Handrails International’s world-domination ambitions. Fireball is brilliant, absurdly self-important, fastidiously fit, and operates with the delusional charisma of a Bond villain crossed with a wellness CEO.
PRINCIPAL CHARACTER. A lanky, cheeky British IT tech who treats evil corporate security protocols like office banter. Roddy is playful, technically capable, and gleefully inappropriate, with “fun coworker” energy in a deeply fucked-up workplace.
PRINCIPAL CHARACTER. Simon’s younger sister, sharper, more grounded, and clearly the responsible sibling. Jenny is funny, loving, and blunt, giving Simon a warm real-world anchor before he disappears into the insanity of Greenland.
Simon’s awful middle-management boss at his old corporate job. A self-amused office bully with bad jokes, no self-awareness, and peak “HR complaint waiting to happen” energy.
Indigenous Greenlander. Fireball’s cool, stylish, spunky receptionist. Confident, unimpressed, and quietly commanding, Naas cuts through the madness with deadpan authority and a very real concern about the company’s terrible vegan menu.
A physically capable assassin posing as one of Fireball’s procurement candidates. Smooth, dangerous, and committed enough to infiltrate the company through an elaborate fake identity.
Dutch-speaking. The actual nephew candidate, largely caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nervous, confused, and mostly speaks Dutch, he becomes collateral damage in the company’s absurd hiring process.
A warm, iconic-style narrator for Handrails International’s bizarre corporate orientation video. The voice should feel soothing, prestigious, and completely at odds with the deranged content being described.
