Kostantino Karagkounis emerges in The Shattering Peace as a towering Diplomatic Security Corps trainee whose sheer physical presence—half a meter taller and fifty kilos heavier than his peers—makes him an imposing figure in the field. His unconventional methods prove effective when he commandeers a getaway van to thwart a kidnapping attempt, demonstrating both resourcefulness and a willingness to bend protocol in service of his duty. Though his role is limited to this single appearance, his actions suggest a character whose imposing stature is matched by decisive action under pressure.
Description

His frame is powerfully built with broad shoulders and thick limbs. He wears standard recruits' training attire, and his thick fingers are notably large and strong. His sheer physical presence dominates any space he occupies.
