On Record:
Josephine Arabella Haven was born by Anita Frederick Haven and Morris Edgar Haven, both passing of Cholera seven years after the birth of their only daughter. Mr. Haven had a modest income as a doctor and had left everything in his will to his daughter at the time of his death. Josephine or (Jinx/Jinxy) was raised in York for her primary years, with her aunt Charlotte Haven(Case File #3456) who watched over her education and tutelage until she was sixteen at which point she married Edgar Bishop(Case File#4897), a London based Barrister. The two moved to London shortly after, with Josephine diving deeper into the spotlight. It was during this time she created the persona of Madam Haven a medium with unsurpassed skills that brought her to the forefront of fame in the daily papers of London. She traveled the continent with her husband, using her supernatural gifts to create a stir in the papers. Up until November 10th where she disappeared from her home at 11:56 pm. Her body was uncovered on November 12th, two days later, at the corner of Chancery Lane at around 6:08 pm with visible mutilation to the body associated with satanic rituals. No arrests were ever made. Her minimal fortune and estates were passed onto her husband, Mr. Bishop.

TOP SECRET
Off Record:
Josephine Arabella Haven was brought to Wilson’s Funeral Parlor and Crematorium and was declared dead on the 12th of November, 1894, but her body was declared missing three days after. Sightings from Denise Cornwell(Case File #1028), Alexander Brox(Case File #7590), and Maria Wilson(Case File #10,045), all workers at the Parlor said they saw Miss Haven leave the parlor on her own two feet. Sightings from all over the city came in soon after this disappearance but by our own deductions, Miss Haven left the continent soon after to head overseas into the colonies. After two years, of detective work, our operatives have found Miss Haven living in Louisiana off the main city of New Orleans. She resides by the Malade Bayou in a shack off the waterfront. We have made contact and received word that she will be arriving back in London by boat, by October 27th, 1896 the year of our Lord.

Observed Skills: The subject has been most notably recognized as a medium with the ability to communicate with the dead. Evidence of possible reanimation after death is most plausible. The subject also has been rumored to reanimate/resurrect the dead through necromancy but the ability is cloudy. More study necessary.

Weaknesses: Subject has repaired motions and possible physical disabilities due to mutilations/reanimation. The subject can be hurt by fire, physical violence, and is still suscept to poison as well. She may also be emotionally manipulated through her husband Edgar Bishop who was married to Raman Burgita 5 years prior. More study necessary
Likes: Animals, Travelling, Piano, Boating, Fencing, and Fishing. More study necessary.

Location: MPO Response Division HQ
Profession: Head Engineer for Redmire Co. Mechanic-Works
Biography:
[On Record]
Born in the town of Dartford, subject 1337 was always a peculiar individual. Observation began early in his life when he reportedly started seeing things that were not there. This occurred after 1337 appeared at junction site [REDACTED]. In his adolescence 1337 was a remarkably curious kid whenever it came to the world, often adventuring outside to see what he could find. Even though he was homeschooled by his father Wilheim Redmire, he was able to progress on to university and demonstrate a keen intelligence within the fields of engineering, physics, and chemistry. Earning ranks in the top, he was soon to graduate and went to open up a shop in London for four years before being approached to do government service.

[CLASSIFIED]
Halfway through his time at university, 1337 had found Ministry site [REDACTED] while searching for scrap. He was only reported to flee from the scene. Though when questioned about it, he finds himself reluctant to recall such events. 1337 reported in a journal that was turned into MPO custody events of every night at some point the whisperings of Eldritch beings within his head. The journal also recounted some of the encounters with several demons and beings from beyond the abyss inside of London while in the time of owning Redmire Co. Engineering-Works. The tools he used are Also detailed within the journal. He brewed many concoctions, and it seems to stem from the inspiration he got from site [REDACTED]. Deeper within the journal and several others 1337 detailed exactly how to make everything within a complex cypher that allowed the alchemy recipes to appear to be cooking recipes.
Not to mention there was a complex array of firearms he’d created, experimenting with white phosphorous, heavy metals, higher grain powder types, and attempting to improve upon current day weaponry. It was when he was brought in by scotland yard that he was finally approached by the MPO.
1337 had brashly used what some witnesses called lightning from his palm to exterminate a demon who had attacked a market district. 1337 came of his own will to a holding cell where they extracted vials of unknown origin and a mauser pistol was held within a holster under the trench coat he’d wear. The MPO was called in, and made their first approach in contacting him. He’d been made an offer since he seemed to be working in alignment to the MPO to join the newly developing task force. 1337 agreed as long as he’d be given resources to research and develop new tech and alchemical compounds. 1337 is scheduled to report October 27th, 1896.

Observed Skills: 1337 is sensitive to the omniscience of Elder beings and whether they have a part to play in a situation. Often times 1337 will hear the whispers change dependent upon the being that is present. 1337 Also demonstrated an enhanced ability to detect magical/ethereal beings and material.
Weaknesses: It’s been observed that subject 1337 is fearful of spiders, it’s also been observed that when he’s met with a spider, he stops at no end to destroy it. 1337 is vulnerable to all forms of injury and damage. It’s also been observed that when in the presence of women, 1337 is very much susceptible to being charmed to bedding, though it’s still tough to get information from him.

Case File: #1771
Name: Zaara (Zarr-uh) Nyaga
Born: October 31st, 1876.
Location: London, England. Born in Kenya.
Profession: Voodoo Priestess/Medicine woman.

Biography

[On Record]: Not too much information has been collected on subject 1771 due to the origin of their family. Born and raised in Kenya, Zaara was raised by her mother and father [Names unknown] inside of a tight knit tribe within the village of Kendu Bay. It was thought however, that the practice of voodoo and healing was common within the tribe. It is also thought that subject 3499 had travelled there to do one of her shows. This time would have put subjects 1771 and 3499 in contact. Not long after this, subject 1771 appeared in London working out of a small shop on the outskirts of the city on her own.

TOP SECRET
It has also been noted that subject 1771 has been seen using what appears to be a crystal wand. It has been seen glowing from the base where her palm touches it, outward toward the tip. In this instance she simply touched the tip of the wand to a young girls temples, without reaction from the young child. More study to better understand the use of this wand is needed.

[Off Record]: At the death of subject 3499, subject 1771 mourned. Despite not knowing verbally until a while later of Miss Haven’s death, it hit hard due to the warnings herself and her mother had given her before leaving Kenya.

Those who visit subject 1771 seem to leave her establishment either healthier than entering, or much worse. It is suspected that subject 1771 has power over Spirit magic.

Observed Skills: Subject 1771 has been observed creating and using a magic circle, wands, and what appears to be ‘light’ magic, or the control over Spirit. She seems to be well minded in healing techniques. Subject 1771 has also been observed to be a highly skilled singer.

Weaknesses: It has been observed that subject 1771 has an immense fear of puppies of any sort. There has also been some suspicion on whether subject 1771 has a fear of intimacy due to the lack of partners she has had or been seen with. Not much is known about her ‘fighting style’, and little is known about how her power truly works.

Likes: Rain/storms, wine, snakes, drawing, traditional wear and food from Kenya, being alone.
