Men of Letters
We're preceptors, beholders, chroniclers of all that man does not understand.We share our finding with a few trusted hunters – the very elite. They do the rest
The Men of Letters is a secret organization of scholars who research the supernatural. They undergo a period of teaching in areas of arcane knowledge and rituals and, if they pass, are initiated into the most secret knowledge. They saw Hunters as a necessary evil in doing their work, but viewed their use of violence with contempt.
- The symbol of the group is the Aquarian Star.
- Membership of the group is open to both men and women.
- Membership is hereditary.
- Albert Magnus is the name members use when going incognito. Albertus Magnus was a German Dominican friar from the 13th century who advocated the peaceful coexistence of religion and science.
In 1958 Abaddon, one of the Knights of Hell, was sent by party or parties unknown to kill the members of the group who were gathered in Normal, Illinois. They were gathered for the initiation of Henry Winchester and Josie Sands.
Abaddon killed David Ackers and Ted Bowen, and blinded Larry Ganem before following Henry through the portal created by his Blood Spell. Henry has with him The Box which contains the key to where all the knowledge the Men of Letters has collected is stored.
