James Alwin Shrike is not fond of the Laundry. He finds their methods repugnant and their ethos detestable. There is also the matter of the brand they scorched into the back of his right hand.

That brand serves to identify him to those in the know as one of the Laundry's peculiar cases. Something to be cautious about and study when given the opportunity. He is not an initiate in any of the carefully ordered and jealously guarded mysteries the Laundry makes it their business to control. Shrike is attached to an older and stranger force than that. As such, the Laundry branded him and released him under observation.

His circumstances were too strange for them to immediately exploit in the predictable fashion bureaucratic government agencies favor, letting him off entirely free was out of the question, and killing him might mean more trouble for them down the line. Fortunately, the war meant they shared a mutual enemy, Germany.

The Ahnenerbe-SS have even fewer scruples about the esoteric than the Laundry does and are bent on destroying the competition. The Luftwaffe dropped a bomb on the Café de Paris, killing quite a few people Shrike cared about. The Laundry gets an opportunity to study Shrike in action and an operative that can silently inflict lethal puncture wounds and 'catastrophic psychosomatic trauma' on Ahnenerbe-SS computational demonologists from an effective range of around one thousand feet away. Shrike gets to have a bloody revenge with the full support of his homeland's private spook squad. Everybody wins. Except for the Nazis. They mostly die violently.
