The Fifth
The global Agency, secretive in nature polices the supernatural world. They have branches throughout the world, and are funded by the Vatican. The governments of the world work closely with The Fifth, and offer then support though they can never admit publicly that they know anything about the Fifth, or in fact if The Fifth even exist. They Fifth began in 1350 AD during the European outbreak of the black death. During this time, the supernatural world rose up and took advantage of mankind’s weakened state, a vast quantity of those who perished during this time, did not die, as history books suggest from the black death, but from attacks by supernatural entities.
In October 1347, a fleet of Genoese trading ships fleeing Caffa reached the port of Messina in Sicily. Carefully hidden from the history books, this was The Fifths first official venture. At the time they were only a small band of monks sent by the Vatican. Upon this ship, a trader had stumbled upon Pandora’s Box, and opened it. This was, in turn, the beginning of the Black Death. By the time the fleet reached Messina, all the crew members were either infected or dead. It is presumed that the ships also carried infected rats and/or fleas. Some ships were found grounded on shorelines, with no one aboard remaining alive.
It took hundreds of years for mankind to recover from the opening of Pandora’s Box, and during this time the Vatican took it upon themselves, to protect mankind. Now, in modern day, being one of the largest and most powerful religious organisations in the world, The Vatican have ample resources to keep The Fifth proficient in their work.
The Fifth recruit the best of the best, in specialist field to police the supernatural world and keep it hidden from the general public. Many of the recruits in the Fifth are ex criminals, taken from prison and placed within the fifth to work off their sentence. Being an organisation based on protecting mankind from the horrors of the supernatural community, and keeping everything hidden, they very rarely accept a supernatural being into the ranks of The Fifth.
This however changed in the 1940’s during the Second World War. A supernatural based organisation appeared, realizing Man Kind was destroying itself, they rose up to defend Humanity and themselves, in turn helping end the second world war, this council of Supernatural beings are now allied with The Fifth in keeping the peace and their existence secret, knowing mankind is not ready to know the truth, and the supernatural being known would only amount in panic, death and destruction. This supernatural run organisation is simply known as The Council.
