.
In Darindon Ki Basti Imran realizes that his coworkers (mainly Juliana Fitzwater) are beginning to suspect his identity as being X-2. To permanently remove their suspicions he decides to appoint another member into the Secret Service. That member is codenamed "Black Zero". Another purpose of hiring Black Zero was to have a secret service member who stays in hiding from all the other members but assists them all the same. Unfortunately, the original Black Zero passes away in "Darindon Ki Basti". However, the need for a Black Zero remained and Imran appoints Tahir for the job. All members of the secret service know him as Mr. Tahir who is the caretaker of Rana Palace. Tahir has also appeared as a masked X-2 sometimes in front of the Secret Service members.
Black Zero is the most favourite subordinate of X-2 (Imran), but none of the members of Secret Service know about his true identity. He lives in Danish Manzil and is known to others as Tahir Sahib. He is the only agent who knows that Imran is the Head of Secret Service. Black Zero has been trained to replicate X-2's deep, hoarse voice; he gives orders to the Secret Service members, acting as X-2 when Imran is in the field working with his subordinates and unable to call directly. This has the dual effect of reassuring Imran's team members that he is not X-2, a fact that almost everyone suspects at one time or other.
It is an ironic fact that although Imran always argues and talks back to his peers, his favourite fieldworker is one who listens and obeys. This is in contrast to Colonel Faridi
who is more of a decent quiet thinker but Hameed
who always argues and talks back to his peers is his favorite subordinate.
Safdar is also the only field partner of Imran (apart from Imran) who does not have a crush on Juliana Fitzwater. He is also the only Secret Service member who is fluent in Shikrali (a language spoken in the tribal area of Shikral).Safdar Saeed is the most prominent, respectful, and loyal agent after Black Zero, and Imran relies heavily on him. Safdar respects Imran greatly (by heart), and believes that Imran has similar qualities to those of X-2.
But besides his jealous with Imran, on many occasions he had proven his worth. Previously in military intelligence, he is more fond of direct action.
In Imran Series' novel "Farishtay ka Dushman", he faces a motorbike accident during his duty and is left permanently unable to carry on with field duty, so he is transferred to another department and is replaced in the Secret Service by Sergeant Nemo.
Note: nowadays these characters are not present in new novels.
Nomani, Khawar and Chauhan are included in four-star team. This in in accordance with "Mazhar Kaleem's Imran Series", in Ibne Safi novels, these four were just the members of secret service, and there was nothing like the four stars.

Joseph is insanely alcoholic, beginning each day by gulping down half a bottle of whiskey to “open his eyes.” If Joseph does not get his ale, he goes into a deep depression and begins to act strangely; though he remains fiercely loyal to Imran, no matter what happens. Joseph cares about Imran to the extent that he considers him as his “Father.”

The character of 'Tiger' is created by the renowned author of imran series: Mazhar Kaleem MA.
Tiger is not a bound agent of X2. He is only the pupil and comrade of Ali Imran. Large proportions of hooligans have been killed by Tiger in various missions. He is extremely loyal to his boss (imran) and anybody challenging Imran is subjected to some serious treatment by him. He tries his level best to act like his boss.

. He was a member of an organization "Master Killers", very eminent for target killing of world's prominent personalities. Once "master killers" was hired to kill Ali Imran in (Imran Ki Maut). Juana came to Pakasia to kill Imran along with his other three murderer friends. Master Killers could not succeed to execute Imran but Juana accepted Imran as his master after a deadly fight with Imran. Juana is a horrible martial arts fighter, very cruel in nature and has a strong body (like wrestler) with 7.5 feet height. Now he lives in Rana House along with Joseph. He acts as personal body guard of Prince of Dhump, an alias of Imran.
He first appears in Neeli Lakeer. He is a colleague of archeologist Arthur, who discovers the body of an ancient princess buried in the snows of mountain Alpom. A silver sheet is wrapped around the neck of the body, with some scriptures indicating a hidden treasure. He once mocks Faridi and gets slapped so hard by the other man that he stumbles several steps across the room. Instead of displaying his rage instantly, he shrugs it off by saying that many bums have slapped him, but it is an honor to have been smacked by such a reputable celebrity as Faridi. It is quite obvious that he keeps his anger confined, fueling his hatred and vengeance for a more suitable event. Such is his control over his emotions, making him even more dangerous. Faridi gets back the silver sheet to return to the government of Chile but Sing Hee manages to escape and then steals the sheet from the custody of the government in Khooni Bagoolay and travels to South America in quest of the treasure. Faridi follows him up to "Taareek Vadi" (Black Valley) but at the last moment Sing Hee escapes by jumping into a cave. Sing Hee's next appearance is in Lashoan Ka Bazaar in Imran Series. Faridi has further encounters with him in Raushan Hayoola, Zard Fitnaa and Zehreela Sayaarah
Imran first meets Sing Hee in London, in Lashoan Ka Bazaar, where Imran is conducting research in criminology. A criminal named McLawrence has terrorized the city. Imran tries to investigate the situation, and comes across Sing Hee. Sing had devised a technique by which he is able to dodge any bullets fired on him by judging the hand movements of the assailant, and moving swiftly. Sing Hee performs it in front of Imran once, and Imran asks him to do it again. That is enough for Imran to grasp the technique involved. Then Imran surprises Sing Hee by challenging him to shoot at him; Sing Hee cannot believe his eyes when he is unable to shoot Imran. Despite the fact that both characters are bloodthirsty for each other, the evil con man declares Imran to be his rightful nephew in the cunning art.
Their next meeting takes place in Joank Ki Wapsee. Now Sing is working for Zeroland. This story line continues in Zehreeli Tasweer and Baebaakon Ki Talaash. Sing Hee is unable to kill Imran, because Zeroland requires that Imran remain alive. Sing Hee is the major villain in many other novels such as Seh Rangee Maut, Muta-Harrik Dhaariyaan, Joank Aur Naagan, Halaakat Khaez, Zebra Maen, and Jangal Ki Sheheriyat. He is very brave criminal.
Whenever Sing Hee encounters Imran or Faridi, he always manages to escape in the end, except in Larztee Lakeerain when Imran manages to capture him but afterwards releases him on purpose, saying that if he had caught Sing Hee in his own country, he would not have released him.

To permanently remove their suspicions he decides to appoint another member into the Secret Service. That member is codenamed "Black Zero". Another purpose of hiring Black Zero was to have a secret service member who stays in hiding from all the other members but assists them all the same. Unfortunately, the original Black Zero passes away in "Darindon Ki Basti". However, the need for a Black Zero remained and Imran appoints Tahir for the job. All members of the secret service know him as Mr. Tahir who is the caretaker of Rana Palace. Tahir has also appeared as a masked X-2 sometimes in front of the Secret Service members.

However, when Imran joins the Secret Service, Juliana gets so impressed by his qualities that she falls for him instead. Juliana believes that Imran is X-2, and clearly mentions it to him on one occasion; Imran is initially shocked, but manages to cover his identity with the help of Black Zero. Imran continuously (sometimes harshly) plays with her emotions although he thinks of her as a dear friend all the same.Safdar Saeed
Safdar is the most active and Imran's most trusted field partner. The best thing Imran likes about Safdar is that he never questions the authority and is a man of action rather than words. This does not necessarily mean that he is not intelligent, he just does not like to get into unnecessary arguments and gives his 110% towards the completion of the task assigned to him.It is an ironic fact that although Imran always argues and talks back to his peers, his favourite fieldworker is one who listens and obeys.
