Name: Whitby
Job: Chair of the Walpurgis Center for Independent Studies.
This is the guy who turns up when things start to get really bad.
It's never clear who he works for, but he has access to resources, can get things done, make things disappear. Government? Military? Conspiracy within the government. Not a villain, but easily mistaken for one. His motive are a murky mixture of his own and his superiors. Most of the time he's operating on his own initiative.

Notes
Aspect | Notes |
Insider knowledge | Whitby is an insider in the intelligence service as well as various shadowy conspiracies. He has access to privileged knowledge, and could probably point the way to where Jimmy Hoffa is residing. |
Orders from Washington | As an operative for the Government, Whitby is often following agendas and orders set by his superiors. These are often ill-advised and possibly contradictory. |
The man in black | Whitby is good at his job. Turn up when things start to go wrong, and make them right again, keep it out of the paper. |
You never were really on the inside | The problem with conspiracies is they tend to eat their own. When you live in a world of secrets, you never know when your going to find a conspiracy within a conspiracy, or find yourself an outsider. |
You scratch my back… | Whitby is owed many favours from many people, he also owes just as many |
They never taught this in basic combat! | Whitby's unique training, allows him to use unusual tactics to win fights |
Standard Issue | its small, its reliable, its easily concealed, he just wouldn't feel comfortable without his Colt Detective .38 |
Control, contain or eliminate | Whitby has very distinct priorities and goals when dealing with super-normal events |
