1. In 1868 a young Edward Grey was taken under the wing of Lord Norcross after destroying a werewolf that was terrorizing West Sussex. Norcross paid for Grey's education, and got him started investigating occult incidents in London.

2. After foiling a witch coven’s plot to kill Queen Victoria in 1879, Grey was knighted, appointed Her Majesty’s London Agent for the investigation of occult matters, and earned the less-flattering nickname Witchfinder.

4. Grey continues to investigate the paranormal, with special interest in the increasingly bizarre activities of the Heliopic Brotherhood, pitting him against senior members of the order like Swain and Lord Adam Glaren.
