The document discusses the representation of social groups in a media product. The key character is described as a young white British male, which allows him to portray a diverse range of roles and connect with a wide audience. The character of Zack is then introduced - he is a rebellious young spy who becomes an agent at a young age after his parents' death. His motivation is to avenge their death. Zack draws inspiration from characters like Jason Bourne, Alex Rider, and James Bond - he shares traits like their combat skills and rule-breaking attitudes, while maintaining a more casual appearance than Bond. Jason Bourne in particular influenced Zack's development as a more relatable spy character.
