Central Intelligence Agency

File:510px-Seal of the Central Intelligence Agency.svg.png
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the federal government of the United States, tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT). As one of the principal members of the United States Intelligence Community (IC), the CIA reports to the Director of National Intelligence and is primarily focused on providing intelligence for the President and Cabinet of the United States.
Additionally, The CIA has been involved in numerous events over the years, with the more current leaders of the organization involved in collecting and utilizing data regarding all things "magical", "extraterrestrial", and "superhuman". This may sound like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist, but these facts could not be any closer to reality. Ever since the cold war, the CIA had funded and performed several projects regarding magical artifacts, superheroes and even aliens. All of it is in an attempt to harness the power of these things and utilize them for military purposes, however the CIA has never publicly admitted any of this information.

## History

The success of the British Commandos during World War II prompted U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to authorize the creation of an intelligence service modeled after the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and Special Operations Executive. This led to the creation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). On September 20, 1945, shortly after the end of World War II, Harry S Truman signed an executive order dissolving the OSS, and by October 1945 its functions had been divided between the Departments of State and War. The division lasted only a few months. The first public mention of the "Central Intelligence Agency" appeared on a command-restructuring proposal presented by Jim Forrestal and Arthur Radford to the U.S. Senate Military Affairs Committee at the end of 1945. Despite opposition from the military establishment, the United States Department of State and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Truman established the National Intelligence Authority in January 1946. Its operational extension was known as the Central Intelligence Group (CIG), which was the direct predecessor of the CIA.
During the height of The Cold War, The CIA ran spy operations in the Soviet Union, attempting to uncover their various projects. One of these projects was the development of a chemical compound known as Metamorphium, which was derived from the fluids contained by the remains of an Exiebicuus. Metamorphium had the ability to evolve an organism as if they were an insect in its pupae stage. The chemical was primarily utilized in the creation of The World's vessel body, but after The World's death the project had fallen through, at which point all of the Metamorphium was dumped into the water.

By the time the CIA had caught wind of this, it was too late. Many who ingested the substance in their drinking water ended up becoming Superhumans. But neither the CIA nor any other government agencies were willing to go public with this information, fearing the consequences and backlash that would occur if they did. So instead, they remained quiet about the whole ordeal.

Another of the CIA's notable operations was when they sent a newly-minted agent, Christine Warren, on a mission to intercept a team of members of "The Society for Divine Cleansing" who were attempting to steal chemicals from an abandoned plant facility in 2004. Christine effortlessly took them all down, though did admittedly have some trouble with one of its members, but he too was eventually incapacitated as Christine detonated a bomb which destroyed the plant.
After the CIA discovered that one of the plague doctors survived, Christine convinced them that he could serve as a useful experiment, and so an agent was sent with an experimental chemical that resurrected Alistair.

### Conduit

in 2016, Christine would be dispatched to the long-neglected ruins of Helmitki Kunin, on a mission to learn more about magical artifacts known as Conduits and potentially even procure some samples for study. Christine herself unwittingly had a conduit that had been activated, and so she personally requested to be sent on this assignment in an effort to learn more about the nature of her own conduit as well as possibly gain even more power for herself.

This operation would eventually end disastrously however, with Christine being put on "Temporary Leave" for her actions. However, through unknown means she was soon able to regain her position as an agent.

## 2059: The Superhero Revolution

The year 2059 would see many turbulent changes for the CIA. Upon the arrival of Mark Mcneil from 40 years in the past. Christine Warren, now the Director, immediately declared Mark to be a criminal and enemy of the state, and sent the law after Mark and his "accomplices" in an attempt to capture him.
In reality, Christine wished to gain a sample of Mark's DNA, and use it to create the ultimate supersoldier. And on her efforts, she eventually would obtain a sample and combine it with the Black Hood Formula to create The Savager Serum, which was injected into a wounded supersoldier sent after Mark to transform him into Savager.

After Savager was killed, Christine was blackmailed by Mark and several other heroes, forcing her to drop all charges against them as well as perform a few other favors.
