That's why they call it a cover identity.  A very good one, too, don't you think?  I mean, you're still trying to wrap your mind around the notion, even now.  Did you really think that Heaven had no guile of its own, or perhaps that it lacked the collective will to take advantage of the unconscious prejudices of both humanity and the Main Enemy?  Or that Heaven judges human actions and worth on your scale of morality, or even the scales of some of its most enthusiastic boosters?  Or that, in the aftermath of the First Incursion, when the assembled Seraphim Council stood bloodied but unbowed in their holiest chamber and collectively vowed to ward humanity from a resurgent Hell, though it meant their deaths - did you think that there was some sort of unofficial "but not if it means being tacky about it" codicil implied?

 

Perhaps you did, at that.  Amazing what one amateur pornographic movie can do.  In this case, it has cemented her reputation as being a typical pseudo-celebrity with flabby morals and flabbier taste.  Not trustworthy, to be sure - but also not a threat in any meaningful sense of the term.  And certainly not someone who would be paying attention to all the odd events so clearly beyond her limited comprehension...

 

Capri has spent her entire life being prepared for her central task (her family's affiliation with Stone is one of the better-kept secrets of the War, but then, so are most of David's secrets); she is to be a living bridgehead into the depravity that is the Media's corporeal operations.  Once properly established, she is to assist in reinforcing the cover of the next generation of the Host's infiltrators.  She will not be an actual double agent, as it is too much of a risk for too little reward, in this case.  Better to be thought a fool, but a safe fool, and the friend of similar (if more useful) fools.  While many will dutifully parrot the truism that when it comes to spies, the most unlikely possibilities are the most likely ones, few truly understand it in their gut - and even the most paranoid security chief will have difficulty believing that Capri Sheraton is an agent of Heaven.  Particularly as she (deliberately) knows no Songs and has no Attunements or relics; she relies solely on her wits and protective camouflage for her safety, which does add a certain amount of internal tension.  This does not particularly distress her, given her upbringing and training, but it does provide her with some amusement at the irony of it all.

 

A simple life?  Hardly.
