Glenn Loggia

**Glenn Loggia** (7 January 1930 - 30 November 1983) was the first Director of the Echo Division in the Sunken Temple. Although he is not a magician, he had a long history with the Federal Bureau of Magical Affairs and was part of the early expeditions into the Sunken Temple following its discovery in 1962.

## Biography

Loggia was born into a non-magical family. His parents were Roger and Una Loggia, and he was the third child and oldest son of the couple. His family struggled to survive through the Great Depression, going through several stints of homelessness and poor food security during his early childhood. His father was drafted into the United States Army following the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 and was one of the 4,414 men to confirmed to have died during the first day of the landings at Normandy, France in 1944.

Loggia joined the military himself in 1948. He saw combat during the Korean War, though he was uninjured and did not participate in any notable confrontations.

He joined the Federal Bureau of Magical Affairs in 1960 and was part of the first expeditions into the Sunken Temple in 1962. It was during these expeditions that he discovered the Sunken Temple Key. He was soon appointed as the 1st Director of the Echo Division, though his appointment was met with some pushback by other agents. The discontent eventually settled as Loggia's tenure as Director continued.

Loggia's tenure as Director of the Echo Division was the least stable of the position. The Echo Division spent many of his tenure securing the Shallows and beginning expeditions into the Deep Sector. It was during Loggia's tenure that the Echo Division made contact with both the Janitor and Eugenie Messier, though neither of the residents became part of the FBMA.

Loggia was killed on 30 November 1983. The Deep Sector had never been truly pacified, and there were numerous cases of creatures moving up from the Deep Sector into the Shallows. During the early morning of 30 November 1983, several creatures migrated up to the Shallows. These creatures inflicted numerous casualties, including 3 fatalities, before the armed forces within the Sunken Temple was able to suppress the outbreak. Loggia suffered severe injuries to his chest and neck and died of extreme blood loss in minutes.

## Education

Loggia was not a magician and never received a magical education. He barely passed through the general education system in New York City. He joined the US military instead of going to college or trade school.

## Personal Life

The Loggia family was a small family from New York City, but it was part of a larger extended family covering several generations. His father died when he was 14 as a result of the Normandy invasions, and his mother soon remarried. He maintained a good relationship with his stepfather.

He met Ruby Drakker in 1950, and the two soon married. They had two daughters together. Their second daughter, Maria, died shortly after birth due to a congenital disorder. The birth of Maria caused severe damage to Ruby's body, rendering any future pregnancies exceedingly dangerous.

## Key

As the 1st Director of the Echo Division, Glenn Loggia was the 1st owner of the Key. His Key had the appearance of a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver with a six-inch barrel. Although the grip of the weapon appeared to be made of wood, the entire weapon has a matte black finish, though there are also a deep red glow from several joints along the barrel and chamber. He often kept the Key close at hand, held in a holster at his belt.
