Rabe Maniels

Rabe Maniels was assistant commissioner of the CLPD and later became Prime Minister of Great Britain. Maniels also led the most powerful crime syndicate in Great Britain, and schemed to take over the entire universe on two occasions.

## Background

Maniels was born in rural Wales in 1972. At some point prior to 2003, Maniels had moved to London to work on joining the police force. In Autumn 2008, joined the CLPD after impressing commissioner Richard Asquith with his skills. Joining the CLPD, Maniels was initially an honest cop but quickly became susceptible to bribes. In late 2008, Maniels met and affiliated himself with two criminals named Wilfred Mott and Johnny Cornwall. Maniels formed a close friendship with the pair, and learned about the art of lost media. Maniels then learned about the prophecy that he would take over the world by taking over television. Maniels began conspiring with his friends to make the correct amount of lost episodes to trigger the end of the world. With Mott creating the episodes and Cornwall acting as a hacker who would help Maniels and Mott broadcast their sick creations onto TV. Over the years that followed, Maniels began to climb through the ranks of the police department eventually earning a promotion to assistant commissioner. He was promised the top job once Asquith retired. Rabe used his status as a senior police officer to his advantage in order to help cover up the actions of Mott and Cornwall. In 2015, Maniels intervened in a problem involving a senior loan manager named Alan Johnson and made the man his personal hitman.

## The First Attempt

In August 2018, a man named Matthew Williams was subject to one of Wilfred's episodes, and called the police for help. The CLPD dispatched Maniels and a small group of officers to get a report from Williams about the episode. During the exchange, Maniels tried to kill Williams but was prevented by the untimely intervention of his fellow officers. Maniels escaped and had the officers who witnessed the attack killed by Alan Johnson. Three months later in October, Rodger Lampton who had also seen one of Wilfred's episodes was captured by Mickey Mouse and his crew. Lampton was then handed over to Maniels and his cohorts. Maniels put Lampton to work as a lost media maker. He used mind altering technology to keep Lampton under his control. Harold Saxon's transport liaison witnessed the attack and reported it to the authorities. Maniels dispatched Johnson to kill Charles. Johnson killed Charles and helped Maniels convert him into a skin suit in order to get close to Saxon who pledged to clean the world of lost episodes.

Two months later in December, Maniels disguised as Oliver Charles accompanied Saxon to Lazarus Marmite's DVD store after Marmite and his wife Edith became victims of another of Wilfred's lost episodes. At the store, Maniels revealed himself and was accompanied by Mott, Cornwall, and Johnson. The group were able to escape thanks to Edith pouring hot boiling water onto Maniels and his cohorts. Maniels lashed out and killed Edith in a fit of rage. Later, Rabe appeared at the house of Matthew Williams, and tried his best to kill the group again but they managed to escape his wrath and went on the run to the police station. Maniels and his friends were summoned to the station by Asquith. At the station, Asquith berated Maniels for his corrupt deeds and announced his intention to remove Maniels from power acting under the emergency protocols. Maniels has Asquith taken by surprise and killed by Johnson. With Asquith dead, Maniels takes over the CLPD and kills Harold Saxon after discovering that Matthew Williams and his gang was spying on him through a closet.

## Last Stand

Later, The Shadow Reader revealed to Williams and his gang the truth behind Rabe's plot. Rabe has Wilfred kill Malcom Brooks the chairman of Television Centre, With Brooks gone, Rabe has Cornwall hack into the Centre's database that way causing every channel on TV and every video on the internet to be that of Rabe's creation. The Shadow Reader and his crew head to the Centre to confront Maniels. At the Centre, Johnny Cornwall is killed by DaveTheUseless, and Rabe orders Wilfred to follow him to the rooftops while leaving Johnson behind to kill The Shadow Reader and his gang. The gang were able to get the upper-hand thanks to Otterton corrupting a woollen robot which they used to kill Johnson and his two assistants the Aunt Bessy Duo. Arriving on the rooftops, the gang witnessed Rabe betraying Mott but was stopped by Lazarus Marmite. That's when the end of the world began with Maniels rising to be over 500 feet tall. Marmite was able to save the day by shooting a bullet into the antenna which broadcasts for every television in the world effectively restoring the world back to normal. Maniels was pushed into the time crack by Otterton seemingly killing him and ending the lost episode problem for good.

## The Almighty Return

Unbeknownst to The Shadow Reader and his friends, Rabe survived the ordeal by jumping out of the vortex just before the crack closed up for good. While mopping on the streets of London about his losses, Maniels met a man named Johnny Buggerton. Buggerton and Maniels hit it off and became good friends. Buggerton introduced Rabe to his bookstore entitled Buggerton's Books. Rabe introduced Buggerton to the art of lost media and about his plan to take over the world that failed miserably. Buggerton then brought up another prophecy which told that a man named Rabe Maniels will fail in his first attempt but will win the second time. Rabe convinced Buggerton to change his book shop into a media store named DVD's, Blu Rays, Games, and Sausages. They later changed the name to Maniels Media as they believed it was a better and much catchier name. With Johnny's help, Maniels went on to found The Rabe Maniels Crime Syndicate and made Buggerton his right-hand man and chief lieutenant. Both men formed a partnership with the visiting Slitheen Family an alien family who wished to destroy the world and sell it's part for oil. Maniels proposed an alliance and the Slitheen agreed. The alliance involved the Slitheen helping Maniels destroy the world. While Maniels and Buggerton go on to take over the universe, the Slitheen get free access to Earth and can do whatever they want with the planet.

## Becoming Prime Minister

Thanks to bribery, Rabe was able to infiltrate 10 Downing Street and became a high-ranking member of Parliament. He served as MP for Hartley Dale and began competing with Jeremy Corbyn for the Prime Minister's job. He bribed and manipulated his way through the ranks of Parliament to become the most ideal candidate for the job. Maniels was able to win the vote with a landslide majority. Now Prime Minister, Rabe became a proud investor in Maniels Media. He also made special percussions that no lost media projects could be linked back to him by the means of necessary buffers. He had Johnny Buggerton acting as his liaison with the low level members of the Syndicate. For security, Maniels hired Liu Shen Tong as his chief enforcer replacing Alan Johnson.

## The Rabe Maniels Intrigue

Rabe and Buggerton began scheming with their business partners Granny Dryden and Frank Vinci to kill The Shadow Reader. Rabe and Buggerton rationalised that with Shadow dead, his successor Space Voyager would be forced to make a deal with them. Maniels and Buggerton faced problems when General R. Asquith began investigating into their operations. General Asquith disappointed with Maniels' leadership attempted to remove him from command only to get killed by Maniels. Asquith was then converted into a brand new skin suit for Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer Day Slitheen allowing for Rabe to have control of the British Military. Now in control of the military. Rabe and Johnny also seized control of the Royal Air Force by having Group Captain Tennant James killed and turned into another suit for the Slitheen. They then bought off Richard Fatchurd's PA Neddie who became Rabe's informant. Rabe helped strike a serious crippling blow to the Resistance by having Luca Brasi murdered. Brasi had been ordered by Shadow to infiltrate Maniels' Syndicate several months before. With Neddie's help, Rabe and Johnny had Shadow gunned down in the street. Shadow managed to survive, and was placed in intensive care.

## Losing Buggerton

Over the course of January, the Resistance began fighting back against Maniels. First they kill Neddie which doesn't concern Maniels in the slightest. They then have Salvatore Manetti a member of Maniels' Syndicate whom Johnny Buggerton favoured killed. Manetti was also responsible for the death of Luca Brasi and was also one of the two gunmen who shot Shadow. Maniels is dealt a personal blow when the conflict claims the life of Johnny Buggerton. Enraged, Maniels sought an alliance with nearly every gang in the city, and convinces them to go war with the Resistance. He was mainly doing it to get the revenge for the death of Buggerton. This then led into the events of the Great Gang War.

## The Great Gang War

During the war, Maniels went into hiding and had Downing Street guarded by his lieutenants.
