For centuries, governments have relied on trusted business figures and academics to gather honest feedback from key political players. These individuals, often from outside official diplomatic ranks, are valued for their discretion and reliability.
Why use them? Simple - governments often mistrust diplomats appointed by opposing parties. Leaders sometimes need independent verification from their own departments or a way to ask difficult questions discreetly. These envoys, often linked to intelligence agencies, also provide plausible deniability - if negotiations go awry, the government can disavow any connection.
This is the story of one such man. At nineteen, he left home seeking adventure in Papua New Guinea, a journey that would forever change his life. They called him The Envoy.
