Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Living… life as "Nairobi," an alias he has taken on for a planned robbery of the Royal Mint of Spain in Madrid. The mastermind behind the heist is a man who goes by The Professor, who has established rules that everyone must follow during the heist. One of the rules is that no one can reveal their real names. Because the team is not to get to know each other personally, they all selected city names as aliases. And they hide their faces with Salvador Dali masks.
Profession… drug dealer and master counterfeiter. Given her experience with money, Nairobi will be taking on an important role in the heist to print 2.4 million Euros.
Relationship Status… single. Another rule of the heist is no relationships, and she’s committed to do what it takes.
Challenge… missing her son. Given her illegal activities, she lost custody of her son and desperately wants him back. She hopes the heist will give her the financial security to give up a life of crime.
Personality… meticulous, upbeat, and hotheaded. She has high expectations for everyone involved in the heist and makes her goals and ambitions very clear. A tough cookie, she offers her advice to the other thieves: “What you have to do is show these suckers what you’re capable of. Show them you’re not scared.”
Get to Know her in...

To carry out the biggest heist in history, a mysterious man called The Professor recruits a band of eight robbers who have a single characteristic: none of them has anything to lose. Five months of seclusion—memorizing every step, every detail, every probability—culminate in eleven days locked up in the National Coinage and Stamp Factory of Spain, surrounded by police forces and with dozens of hostages in their power, to find out whether their suicide wager will lead to everything or nothing.
