Arnold Leach
Arnold Leach was recruited in 1962 as an invoker. A Scholar of arcane books and forbidden texts, Leach was always obsessed with ancient gods and beings older than man. Lacking scruples and a fan of Machiavellian methods to achieve his goals, it soon became clear that, with the knowledge of the DOW at his disposal, Arnold Leach was a potential threat to the very people he was supposed to be protecting. After several operations that ended in disaster, Arnold Leach was expelled from the department.
Secretly, his elimination was authorized. It was a slaughter. Hundreds of civilians died when Leach, perhaps having been warned, caused several space-time rips in a packed shopping center in Dallas. This created an opening for unspeakable abominations that spread chaos and destruction, cutting short the lives of several Jericho operatives before being controlled. For a time, it was thought that Arnold Leach had perished in the incident or been dragged into another dimension.
A few years later, the Brotherhood od the Dark Rapture appeared. At first, nobody paid much attention there are so many sects with apocalyptic tendencies... The brutal precision of their actions, assassinations and highly elaborate ritual executions contrasted with crude massive attacks across the globe which had no apparant relation. A subsequent and more exhaustive investigation revealed the hand of an old friend behind these acts: Arnold Leach had returned.
Exactly what Leach intended with these actions is not known, since none of the sacrifices seemed to have any apparent purpose: no invocations, curses or any type of ritual was associated with them. They might have been using a particular skill known as the "Tantric spell", accumulating karma to release it all at once in a single invocation when required. Given that Arnold Leach is a fanatical defender of the coming of The Firstborn to our world, his presence at Al-Khali can only be bad news.
