Nathaniel Altamont Dee was born on the 2nd of December 1887 – a descendant of Elizabethan scientist and magician John Dee. Nathaniel’s own interest in magic was piqued when he was fourteen years old. He saw "The Handcuff King" Harry Houdini on his European tour and was immediately taken with the idea of illusion.
He began to practice and had become quite adept at sleight-of-hand and (thanks to his keen observational skills) mentalism by the time he started university.
It was while he was attending Trinity College, Cambridge that he joined the University Bartitsu club and, later, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He had joined Golden Dawn on a whim at first, as he thought it would be an amusing diversion, but he later found out that the Order was a good deal more serious than he imagined.
Upon finishing his studies, Dee obtained a job at the Admiralty as a clerk. But his superior’s recognised Dee’s unique skills and he was immediately put to work in the Secret Service Bureau. His first assignment was as one of the investigators of the mysterious airships that were beginning to be seen in the skies over Britain.
On the eve of World War I Dee worked briefly with Sherlock Holmes in rounding up German agents and sympathisers. It was through contact with the great detective that Dee was offered a job working for the Directorate of Military Intelligence – MI-13 under the control of Mycroft Holmes. MI-13 was responsible for keeping tabs on – and combating – the supernatural German war effort in what came to be known as the "Shadow War".
The First World War never officially ended for MI-13. They continued to thwart the machinations of the Thule Society, the Ahnenerbe, the 5th Column and the Vril Society. When the Second World War broke out, it was business as usual for MI-13.
But, at the end of World War II, the peacetime British Government took steps to dismantel MI-13 – despite the protestations of the remaining active agents. Dee and the others knew that their services would still be required – there were still supernatural threats in the world. They decided to continue their work unofficially. Each MI-13 operative would form a small group of like-minded individuals. They would have no direct controller, but would operate as they saw fit.
Professor Nathaniel Dee was the fifth longest serving MI-13 agent and so was given the designation of "Group E".
Now he just needed to assemble his team. The things that went "bump" in the night would not wait …
