The Rise and Fall of Will Bradley

The Rise and Fall of Will Bradley is a short story included in the publication, The Complete First Season.
== Background ==
Will Bradley was first mentioned in "Paris", when Agent Tom Burt told Agent Sarah Cunnington about an Agent of the Washington Hub who went rogue and joined the Reclaimers. According to Tom, Bradley sabotaged half a dozen missions and caused the deaths of two members of his team; he was later caught and put into The Void.
