Background:
Ishmael was born in New Jersey to a immigrant Jews from the Eastern
Europe. His life was a bit rough, being raised in a neighborhood of
different ethnicities, mostly Christians, he found little contact
with the outside world while he himself was always looking for
adventure and trouble. He turned out to be shorter than the rest of
his family or few friends as he grew up, during his early teens this
became a problem as he would get picked out and beaten up, which
would eventually force him to train and find himself in the better
position, becoming a fighter in his path for recognition.
Once he reached his late teens he saw the opportunity to join the
army and eventually fight in what would be known as the Great War,
the war to end all wars. The events seen during the war are known
only to Ishmael and a few of his remaining war buddies, he talks
nothing of it and feels terrified whenever the subject is brought
back up and when he does speak about it the information is confusing
and at times it proves to be inconsistent.
His war experience gained him recognition in the army and after the
war he was picked up by a man known as Roman Nuddleman, the former
commanding officer of what was to be known as the Big Red One. From
then Ishmael has been on and off throughout the roaring 20s working
for Nuddleman and the Orange Bureau.
In reality, Nuddleman has hidden most of Ishmael backstory to prevent
other members of the Bureau from asking too many questions. Ishmael
joined the German Empire during the early stages of the war to prove
himself worthy and brave in the eyes of his family, who were
descendant of Jewish Germans. This proved to be counter-productive as
he only witnessed what Enrich Maria Remarque could describe to others
through his eponymous All is quiet in the Western Front
and to avoid bring up those horrible years he has suppressed it
through constant battling with the unknown.
During his service with the Bureau
he was assigned as a mobile agent, traveling through most of the
important cities of the world, and eventually becoming the agent in
charge of protecting New Jersey, his hometown. It was during 1927
that Nuddleman lost contact with Ishmael and it wasn't until late
1929 or early 1930 that he regained contact with him, his excuse
being that he “had brought California into the jurisdiction of the
Bureau” to which Nuddleman did not complain but still questioned.
During the 30's he remained in
Germany protecting a Monolith recovered from Samoa which had been
placed into the Vault of Charlemagne. Since Ishmael had served the
German Empire during his youth he found easy lodging in the German
Wehrmacht and
eventually into the SS. Little is known of his work during the 30's
and 40's but whatever happened there changed him permanently, moving
his operation, with the Monolith, to Guadalajara, Mexico. It is
believed that Ishmael killed the previous guardian of the Monolith
and in turn the Monolith spoke to him and delivered a message and a
curse, the curse is believed to be immortality, the curse of the
Avatars which turns him into the embodiment and will of the Monolith
in this plane of existence.
He is a prominent member in Mexican
Society and has become involved with the party in power but little is
known as to how much power he truly exercises over said Government or
what his involvement is with them.
Once he explained to agents of the
Bureau that the scars in his body, at least the ones on his arms, are
a crude reminder of his uncontrollable wrath, each scar representing
an innocent person killed while in a fit. Both arms are completely
covered in scars, no other visible features over them.

features: Her way of dressing is always consistent with the era, her
right eye twitches constantly
Background:
Amanda
was born in the United States but quickly found herself in England as
his father worked with powerful political and entrepreneurial figures
on the other side of the Atlantic. Her upbringing was sophisticated,
she was trained and raised to be a lady-in-waiting but deep down in
her heart she wanted to be free and explore the world. She was
eventually engaged to a rich man in France, one of the most powerful
men known to his father and his best investor, to which she refused
and after the wedding she escaped but not before dishonoring her
family name in an assassination attempt that lead to the death of the
Prime Minister of France, unknown to her this accident would blow
Ishmael cover in a mission he was sent to perform in France and would
connect her with Ishmael Gambeson in the United States and start a
love-hate relationship between them.
With
this in mind she fled to the United States under cover and became a
known flipper in the high circles of the East Coast and eventually
meeting up with Ishmael Gambeson during one of her tenures in New
York. This connection would eventually put her in contact with
Nuddleman, who showed interest for the lady-in-waiting even though
Ishmael could see no real purpose to her joining the Bureau.
Nuddleman had suspicions on her and those were confirmed when he
found out that Amanda belonged to the European Golden Dawn, which to
him proved perfectly as Amanda was well aware of many rituals and
spells provided to her through Egyptian and Thelema systems.
Later
Nuddleman would regret his decision to join her and even confess to
Ishmael that “it looked good in paper, she went through with flying
colors, but by God is she the worst liability this Bureau has ever
seen”. Amanda proved to be highly unstable as a field agent and
abused some of her rights as member of the Bureau, the worst of those
abuses consisted mainly in abusing the budget for parties that could
last up to a week in the most expensive place she could find
throughout the East Coast.
To fix
this Nuddleman sent her to Philadelphia and gave her orders to not
move from said location, orders which Amanda would not follow but for
the majority of her time she remained inside the area of Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania.
It is
unknown if it was before or after joining the Bureau that Amanda
performed a ritual that put her in direct contact with Ra, or at
least she believed it was Ra that spoke to her. It was during a fit
of greed that she decided to ask Ra for his blessing, of any kind, to
which Ra responded by transforming her into a giant ball of flames
that burnt down anything that she touched.
This
painful transformation left her comatose for weeks apparently but
once she recovered she understood that the flames could not destroy
her, nothing could destroy her anymore, she could do as she wished
and no one or nothing could stop her from doing as she wished. She
prided herself as the embodiment of Ra, the only mistress worthy of
being by his side. This line of thought heightened her mental
disorders and have in turn made her one of the most dangerous agents
at the service of the Bureau.
By the
60's she is part of Delta Green and the Global Initiative for
Preemptive Occult Defense, being again considered a liability and a
danger to other agents and the agency in general but at the same time
being one of the most experienced agents still willing to cooperate
under the new agency.

Particular
features: Overtly muscular, small lenses that do not fit most of the
time, bow-tie and suspenders, rolled-up sleeves up to his elbows.
Background:
The Doc
has a mysterious past and he almost never speaks about it, some even
speculate that his current name is not his real name and that it is
only being used to cover him up for something that happened in his
past life.
What
little is known of the Doctor is that he was born and raised in
Maryland but he attended the Miskatonic University in Massachusetts
to obtain his degree in Medicine. He saw action in the Great War and
served as a volunteer from the beginning, in 1914, to the end and
even remained an additional year to assist with the chaos the war had
brought forth.
How he
came to be known to Nuddleman is a mystery to everyone except Ishmael
who once mentioned that “Ambrose real name is a mystery, his past
is a mystery, for all we know he could have been born in South
Africa, but I do recall Nuddleman slipping something that made me
cringe and shake in fear as soon as he popped it to me. Apparently
our Doc worked with Herbert West, yes, the
Herbert West, the one that went missing after some of his experiments
with the... dead. If that is true then Nuddleman is hiding it to us
for obvious reasons but I would rather have known this earlier during
my career, could have saved me and the rest of the team some hassling
and most importantly, it could have given us a heads up of what could
possibly be coming
after us”

Secret
Societies: None, doesn't really need to and is not fond of them
although she does not despise them.
Particular
features: Agatha is white, almost albino, and her dresses consist
mostly of Victorian era dresses that catch the attention right away
through the use of bright colors, blond and blue-eyed, with an empty
look in her eyes, always looking into the distance, never talks to
anyone unless she has known them for long enough, before that she
writes in a book she carries with her at all times in order to answer
them. Her personalities can vary, one of them is quite, the other one
is aggressive and the third one is looking to fornicate with anything
that moves.
Background:
Agatha
comes from a long family of sorcerers from Eastern Europe, believed
to be somehow related to the infamous Rasputin of Russia. Chosen from
a young age to take over the legacy of her family and inducted into
the world of the strange and the occult. She is believed to be either
a Saint or the embodiment of a great force as she survived birth
under terrible circumstances which saw her mother die just a few
moments after giving birth to her.
The
reality is different, mother and daughter had died during the birth
but the Elder Gods had other plans for her, specially since the
position in which she had located herself proved to be a tentative
spearhead for a new cult. First Nyarlathotep took control of her,
followed shortly by Azathoth and finally by Hastur, the last one not
being detected by the first two and never making himself present
until the situation truly demands it.
With
this advantage Agatha cannot age as rapidly as the rest of her
family, it is at one point doubtful if she continues to age as
Ishmael once pointed it out “she may as well have signed a pact
just as we all did, she died at birth, there is nothing in her, she
is just a walking tomb that is the will of the Gods”.
Her
proficiency in magic proved to be key to recovering the Monolith in
Samoa but it was through a team effort that they got it out from
Samoa and into the Vault of Charlemagne, where she resided until the
end of the second world war, when she completely sealed the vault so
neither the Allies or the Communists could get to it.
After
that she ended serving Delta Green and the GLIPOD but under constant
supervision and constant fear from her peers.

Particular
Features: The Fedora Man usually wears a Fedora and a trenchcoat,
underneath the clothing will change with time, one of his eyes is
made of glass, no facial hair and little to no hair on the head.
Background:
Little
is known of the Fedora Man, he usually appears when a great discovery
has been made or when there is a big influence of magic in a specific
area. He has spoken little about his past but what has been gathered
states three things, first, he served as a Crusader and was there
when they took Jerusalem, second, he has signed a pact or deal with
someone but it is unknown when this happened and who signed the deal
on the other end, third, physical weapons do not hurt him and magical
weapons seem to be of little use.
The
Fedora man has infiltrated and destroyed entire organizations and
even dared penetrate the sanctity of the Freemason Lodges, putting a
large sum over his head which sent a high number of mercenaries after
him, most of whom were never heard of from until someone by the name
of Emile Ferdinand Castelo claimed to have managed to wound him but
not kill him and in the process obtained a grimoire that originally
belonged to him. No one has been able to investigate this grimoire as
the mercenary disappeared before any proceedings could be performed.

with an additional four, four axes, two on each side, and his cutlass
on the left side.
Background:
At
first no one was sure who the Captain was but it wasn't until members
from Delta Green found a book in Mexico that was written by Bernal
Diaz del Castillo who originally spoke about Cortez and the
Conquista. In this book La Verdadera Historia de la Conquista de
la Nueva España, sus Verdades y los Terribles Monstruos que la
Habitan y sus Magias Oscuras (The
true story of the conquest of New Spain, its truths, its terrible
monsters that inhabit it and its dark magics) Bernal seems to extend
his speech and adds mentions to rituals and creatures he saw during
his travels there with additional notes throughout the entire book
which has made Scholars assume this was the original manuscript
Bernal submitted but was probably not printed due to the esoterical
and then considered diabolical content which could jeopardize the
process of Colonization.
In
this book Bernal also speaks of one Fernando de la Coba Aldrete, he
says that he served as one of the many loyal Lieutenants to Cortez
and that he fought side to side with Bernal in the battle of Otumba
where it is said that de la Coba found a manuscript that spoke of
terrible things to come, that he became obsessed with it and with the
literature they continuously picked up during their travel, much of
which is lost to this date.
De
la Coba soon became a key part of the security of the new colonies as
Cortez assigned him to move the gold and tribute back to Spain which
he gladly performed for years until he disappeared with ship and
gold, assumed dead at sea no one spoke of him again. It wasn't until
the 20th Century that a group of agents from the Orange Bureau came
in contact with him but were unable to stop him in his task of
recovering the monoliths brought from Yucatan and taking with him the
Archaeologist John Percevault Thatcher, who had discovered them. For
what purpose he wanted the monoliths or the Archaeologist they never
figured it out.
To
this date no additional records have been found of him.

Background:
A high
ranking Freemason and a powerful magician, died in the events of
California but maintains contact through the dream world with Kenneth
Howlett. He is the one that provided 'the gun' to Howlett and asked
him to search for his 'brother' who in fact was himself. The reason
why he did so was to be saved from the hands of the cultists that had
him trapped and planned to release one of the elder Gods from his
house.
