MI6

Summary

MI6 recruits and trains Holy Item wielders to handle supernatural threats, offering people such as Ashai and Goaden pay, protection and powerful equipment. Beyond the barracks' ordinary camaraderie lie restricted corridors and questions new recruits are encouraged to leave alone.

Description

Cliff’s recruitment pitch is practical: better training, astonishing equipment and a salary. Inside MI6, Guardians patrol beside soldiers and off-duty agents argue over games in a room littered with sweet wrappers. The work may involve celestial weapons, but someone still has to brief the team.

Then there are the corridors where only selected officers have clearance, and a chained basement door from behind which Goaden hears someone ask for help. For Ashai and Goaden, joining means gaining resources they need while deciding how much trust those resources deserve.

Background

MI6's supernatural division operates in the deepest shadows of British intelligence, handling threats that official records can never acknowledge. While the public faces of MI6 deals with conventional espionage, a select few know of the department that wages silent war against forces beyond mortal comprehension.

Structure & Operations

This covert branch maintains strict secrecy even within MI6 itself. Only those with clearance level Omega-7 or higher even know it exists. Recruitment happens through careful observation—agents who demonstrate unusual resilience or encounter the supernatural are quietly approached and offered a choice: forget what they've seen, or join the fight.

The organization operates out of secure facilities hidden throughout London and the British Isles. Their headquarters, known only as "The Armoured-dillo," in reference to it's eight interconnected sections, contains archives of supernatural threats dating back centuries, as well as containment facilities for artifacts too dangerous to destroy but too powerful to leave unguarded.

Mandate & Methods

MI6's supernatural division exists to protect British interests and citizens from otherworldly threats. They work with—and sometimes against—other organizations like the Demon's Legion, The Order, and The Church, depending on circumstances and objectives.

Their methods blend conventional espionage tradecraft with specialized knowledge of the supernatural. Agents receive training in recognizing magical signatures, handling blessed weapons, and surviving encounters with entities that defy conventional understanding.

Current Operations

In the present day, MI6's supernatural branch finds itself stretched thin. The frequency of supernatural incidents has increased dramatically, and old alliances grow strained as different factions pursue conflicting agendas. The organization must balance its duty to protect Britain with the growing realization that some threats require cooperation with groups they've historically opposed.
