About Steven Trilby

Special Agent

background (work in progress):

Son of a wealthy virginia horse farmer. excelled at everything, particularly academics. Was taken on by military intelligence out of graduate school when he had originally sought to serve a cushy officer's post because he saw this as a defining challenge. Continues his studies in German history in order to pass himself off as a true professor.

The Military Intelligence Division of the US Army is in a shaky state at the start of 1939, with minimal staff and relatively unsophisticated operations. You are a civilian working for the MID (also known as “G-2”) gathering intelligence on some of the weirder activities going on in the Third Reich—things such as expeditions by the Ahnenerbe, Nazi research into the occult, and alleged secret weapons projects. Officially you still works as a lecturer in archaeology and anthropology at the Miskatonic University in Arkham, but recently you've been seconded to Section D of the British Secret Intelligence Service in London—also known as MI6—as a “hands-on” liaison between the British and US intelligence efforts. Typical of the confusing intelligence situation in 1939, You've been appointed “group leader” for the three Kings operations group—something which some of the Brits think is “damned irregular” and “needs sorting out."

personality:
Haughty, with a "man of the people" affect undermined by a golden-boy air. Doesn't understand why his kindred Brits would look down on him. Normally a patient fellow, the British resistance to his leadership and the kinks in the American intelligence system are constant sources of agitation that have made him somewhat more irritable.
