Red Room (book)

**Red Room** is a trilogy of books in the United States of Monsters book series, functioning as a prequel to the other books in the series. The books follow Derek Hawthorne, a secret agent of the Red Room branch of The House who dedicates his life to keeping the supernatural under wraps from the general public. Joined by other agents like his succubus partner Shannon O'Reily, his witch sister Penny Hawthorne, and his honorary uncle Ben Talbot, Derek takes on everything from ghosts and zombies to the most powerful wizard in the world and Dracula himself. Along the way, the series shows the kinds of corruption that would result in an organization like the House existing in the first place, showing how an ancient conspiracy, even one started with purely good intentions, is inevitably corrupted by time, greed, and selfishness of the people in charge.

As the books go on, they begin to set up key pieces of backstory for other books in the series. It reveals how the Vampire Nation regained their power following Dracula's death and got put into the position to go public, it shows several key characters from other books, such as Alex Timmons and Lucien Drake, got their start as House trainees, and how a low-level demon like Bloody Mary gained enough power to begin taking control of Hell. It ends with the inevitable fall of the House, ensuring the supernaturals can go public in 2008.

## Trivia

* The first book was not meant to be a prequel to the other series', resulting in a small anachronism regarding the year *Esoterrorism* is meant to be taking place. From the second book onward, the year is retconned to be in 2008, the year when the financial crisis was resolved by the vampires.
Ye-jun Park

**Dr. Ye-jun Park** was a Korean scientist who worked for Pantheon Corp, specifically the Matheson-22 project.

## Biography

Dr. Park worked at Pantheon Corp and, as a result, was well aware of the House and the Red Room's actions in covering up the existence of the supernatural. At some point during his tenure there, Park was contacted by who he thought was a rival pharmaceutical company who was willing to pay him handsomely should he keep them informed on Pantheon's inner workings. He agreed to the deal and began bringing other scientists into the conspiracy.

However, unknown to him, the rival company was actually the Emerald Eye. A few months after this, Dr. Edward Strickland was brought to Pantheon Corp to begin the Matheson project, at which point Dr. Park became suspicious of what exactly was going on. Though Strickland claimed that the virus was being produced for the Red Room, Park soon witnessed several incidents of scientists converting into draugr during research and wanted out of the project. In response, Strickland kidnapped his son Reggie to force his cooperation; unknown to him, while he claimed that Reggie was still alive, Strickland killed him. He would later claim that this incident was when he learned Strickland wasn't working for the Red Room at all, though Derek would doubt this story.

With his son's life potentially hanging in the balance, Dr. Park had no choice but to continue working on the virus, eventually creating the airborne version known as Matheson-22. After the virus was deployed in Wheatfield and later in Ohio, Derek Hawthorne and Shannon O'Reily began investigating Pantheon Corp. To lure out the traitor, Derek walked into the lab, fired a gun, and demanded that the traitor come out with his hands up, prompting Park to run where he could easily be tackled.

In interrogation, Park originally could only reveal the information regarding his son's kidnapping, as he was under a geas to not reveal anything else. However, Derek suffocated him to death before having an EMT resuscitate him, leaving him able to speak freely. With this, Park told the story, albeit in a manner that downplayed his own involvement as much as possible. With his information, Derek intended to take Dr. Park to the Red Room for further interrogation; however, before he could, Cassandra Cassidy interfered and revealed she had cut a deal with the Committee, leaving Park in her custody. What became of him after this is unknown.

Homunculus

*“Homunculi. His magical clones, for lack of a better description.”*
*“I’m aware of what a homunculus is.”*— The Professor and Derek Hawthorne, *Esoterrorism*
A **homunculus** is a byproduct of a magic spell, leaving behind a fully sentient clone that acts exactly like the original user.

## Use

A homunculus is a clone produced by a magic user. This clone is an identical copy of the original, meaning it is fully sentient, capable of using any magic powers the original user has, and will act exactly like the original user would. The primary benefit of such a clone is that users can create a homunculus before a situation in which they might die, sending in the clone to die in their place while they continue to survive.

## Users

* The Wazir - Karl Bjornson used several homunculi during his war against The House, dying at least three separate times in combat against Derek Hawthorne and Shannon O'Reily. He also used a homunculus to destroy Wheatfield, with The Professor noting that doing so allowed him to deploy the Matheson-22 virus with no risk to himself.
* Nathan Hawthorne - Nathan used a homunculus for his confrontation with his son Derek, both to argue in favor of his method of destroying the House and to die in his place should Derek decide to kill him. Derek did kill the homunculus, and Nathan spent the rest of the event in hiding before revealing himself after the dust had settled.
Wheatfield

*“What's going to happen? You can't cover up the destruction of an entire city.”*
*“We can, and we have. It's requiring extraordinary effort on our part, but it's proceeding smoothly. Our supporters in the United States government are working overtime. The number of bribes we've had to shell out is staggering, but by the end of the week, it'll be as if Wheatfield, Kansas never existed.”*— Derek Hawthorne and the Professor, *Esoterrorism*
**Wheatfield** was a small town in Kansas, with the population numbering around 2,000 people. It was destroyed by the Wazir shortly after the creation of the Matheson-22 virus as part of his long-term campaign to expose the supernatural.

## History

After Dr. Edward Strickland completed the Matheson virus, the Wazir needed a location to effectively test the virus's destructive capabilities and chose the idilic town of Wheatfield, Kansas. The Wazir deployed the virus in the town to test its lethality, turning the citizens into draugr and prompting them to massacre each other. Most notably, the virus changed the draugr physiology so that they could spread through bites (much like zombies) and they were immune to many of their traditional weaknesses. The Professor and a team of Division One units were required to go in and clean up the mess, resulting in twenty-six casualties but the deaths of all the citizens-turned-draugr.

## Legacy

The destruction of Wheatfield was the first step in what would become the Wazir's final push to expose the supernatural to the public and proved that the virus would be an efficient way to do so. The House were able to successfully cover up the incident, and in the process they learned of the existence of the Matheson virus. This lead pointed them to Cassandra Cassidy and Pantheon Corp, the only place capable of creating such a virus.

Derek Hawthorne learned of the attack from the Professor after the Wazir's attempted bio-attack in Ohio. Derek immediately considered it to be the Red Room's single biggest failure over his tenure there and dedicated himself to stopping the Wazir in part to avenge the Wheatfield citizens.

When Pantheon Corp scientist Ye-jun Park tried to plead for lenience against Derek, Derek internally noted that it would never happen when he had played an implicit role in the Wheatfield massacre.

In his conversation with Derek, the Wazir noted that the Committee let the attack in Wheatfield happen because they could take advantage of it, using it to convince the American government that they were necessary. Though Derek admitted Karl was a liar, he ended up believing him on this point when he noted to Shannon O'Reily that the Committee had members that could see the future, which the Chairman would later inadvertently confirm during his own confrontation with Derek.

All of the people killed in the Wheatfield massacre would be avenged when Derek killed the Wazir during the final battle at Cassandra's Lair.

Cassandra's Lair

*“She’s presently located on a small island in the Pacific. Technically, the island is the property of Indonesian government, but it was purchased and refitted several years ago as a hotel resort, which never materialized. Later, a local warlord supposedly started fortifying the place. In truth, we believe Cassandra was making plans for her takeover as early as five or six years ago.”*— The Professor, *Esoterrorism*
**Cassandra's Lair** was the final hideout used by Cassandra Cassidy during her involvement in the Wazir's war against the House. Despite her attempt to use it to lay low after beginning her rampage against the House, it was ultimately tracked down by both the House and the Wazir's forces and became the location of the final battle. At the battle's conclusion, the lair was razed to the ground by a fire elemental.

## History

After Cassandra was released from her brainwashed marriage with Derek Hawthorne, she sought revenge against the House by any means necessary. As part of the plan, she needed her own base away from the House and the Wazir's eyes and found it in the form of a small island owned by the Indonesian government. She purchased it under the guise of converting it into a hotel resort, but never materialized any of those "plans". Later on, she began renovating the island while acting as though a local warlord was doing so.

At some point over the next five to six years, the base was built on the island and became her military headquarters. Among other things, the base included multiple underground levels, a beach used as a defensive measure, a mystical amplification center used to cast spells, and, most importantly for Cassandra's aims, a laboratory similar to others owned by Pantheon Corp. This lab was fully staffed and designed to mass-produce the Matheson-22 virus, with the aim of either selling it to the United States or launching her own strikes against other nations. Crucially, the lair was also staffed with around 500 members of the Sons of Mars and enough defensive measures that neither the House nor any government could launch an outright assault on the base.

As Cassandra's crusade against the House began, she sought shelter in her lair; however, shortly after Derek ascended to the Committee, both the Wazir and the House were able to track her location. While the Wazir had his forces launch a ground assault and storm the beach, Derek gathered a small team with the goal of stealthily infiltrating the base and releasing a fire elemental inside, hoping to burn the entire base to the ground.

The battle would ultimately prove to be a complete victory for Derek's team, with both Cassandra and the Wazir killed and their forces scattered to the wind. With their victory, the team let the elemental raze the base to the ground as they flew away to safety, concluding the Wazir's crusade against the House.

Yuri

*“You represent everything that is wrong with the House all wrapped up in one hair-plug-needing shell. Did you really drown your infant daughter because of a prophecy she might someday lead to your death?”*— Derek Hawthorne to Yuri, *Esoterrorism*
**Yuri** was a Russian member of the Committee.

## Biography

Yuri at some point killed a previous member of the Committee, taking their place as per tradition. As a Committee member, Yuri was responsible for several of their particularly heinous decisions, most notably the assassination of Angela Strickland and a project designed to increase the pollution in the world to kill all nature-born fae. Caring for nothing but his own life, Yuri murdered his own daughter due to a prophecy stating that his daughter would one day cause his death, and he artificially prolonged his life by storing his soul inside of an egg.

After Yuri served on the Committee for years, Derek Hawthorne began a plan of his own to ascend to the Committee in order to defeat the Wazir. As part of this plan, Derek had his sister Penny track down the egg Yuri used to keep himself alive. At a meeting designed to punish Derek for his failures in investigating Cassandra Cassidy, Yuri became enraged by Derek's disrespect and demanded that the Chairman kill him for his belligerence; however, Derek responded by pulling out the egg. After detailing some of the crimes Yuri had committed, Derek crushed the egg, killing Yuri instantly.

Yuri's death was unmourned by the Committee, who agreed that Yuri had to die for Derek's ascent and outright laughed at his fate. With his death, Angela Strickland and Yuri's daughter were avenged, and Derek would remain on the Committee in his place until the House was destroyed in 2008.
White Room

*“Describing the interior of a White Room laboratory was often an exercise in frustration because there was so much strange stuff going on in them at any given time. I’d walked in on anti-gravity experiments, time-travel-based singularity events, human to animal transmogrifications, and at least one occasion where two lab boys were attempting to harness the power of the orgasm for its magical properties. I was still trying to figure out how they got the Professor to sign off on that.”*— *Esoterrorism*
The **White Room** was the scientific division of The House, in charge of research and development of magic and technology.

## Purpose

The White Room's primary purpose was to forward the House's scientific process, developing technology, magic, medicine, and weapons for the House's agents. Their methods of doing so were varied:

* **Research and Development**: The White Room's specialty was using laboratory science to advance the House's interests.
	+ **Magitech**: The primary creation of the White Room was magitech, or technology that was combined with magic to create something new. This included everything from a mundane bottled minute, which allowed the user to stall time for sixty seconds, to the development of Shannon's quantum knife, which took advantage of a weakened dimensional barrier to replenish itself whenever it was thrown or lost.
	+ **Scientific Research**: Beyond their magical capabilities, the White Room also studied traditional laboratory sciences to study the world, both mundane and supernatural. In particular, the White Room was in charge of studying the Matheson-22 virus after Derek Hawthorne recovered it, and their research into mesmerism laid the foundation for Protocol Zero's endgame.
	+ **Weaponization**: The secondary goal of their research was to create new weapons for the agents, especially the Red Room and Blue Room, as well as defensive items like camouflage vests.
* **Computer Storage**: The White Room housed the Division's central information database, sorting it and sending it to the appropriate Rooms as they needed. It was ultimately destroyed during Edward Strickland's attack on the facility.
* **Cyber-Security**: Besides being in charge of information storage, the White Room also managed the House's cyber-security, both offensively and defensively. When Derek needed a reason to investigate Pantheon Corp, he asked the White Room, specifically their Electronic Warfare Division, to launch a cyberattack on their servers so he could pretend to be investigating it.
* **Interrogations**: The White Room assisted the Blue Room in their interrogations when doing so required magical assistance, such as if the victim was under a geas or had already died and the ghost needed interrogated. It was the White Room who interrogated the ghosts of those who died in the draugr attack the White Room suffered, which is how they discovered the Sons of Mars were sent by Cassandra.

Yellow Room

*“I’d labored my entire life under the belief that keeping the supernatural from the public was a necessary evil to prevent a panic. The cure, however, might be worse than the disease. There was an entire faction of the House I didn’t know about, the Yellow Room, a group that existed for the purposes of information control and fear-mongering. They altered documentation given agents to make missions more morally palatable like saying a reporter was secretly a pedophile or a corporate executive abused his wife.”*— *Esoterrorism*
The **Yellow Room** was a secret branch of The House designed to mislead its agents as to the purpose of their missions.

## Purpose

The primary purpose of the Yellow Room was misdirection, using false information to trick its agents into accepting missions that they wouldn't otherwise.

* **Misinformation**: The Yellow Room's key tool was misinformation. As Derek Hawthorne discovered while investigating the Committee's activities, they would lie about the purposes of a mission or the intended targets to make them more palatable for their agents. In the process, they tricked their agents into believing that they were assassinating major threats or high-profile targets, when in reality, they were simply killing civilians who had stumbled onto the House's operations unknowingly. Their misinformation was so thorough that even a veteran agent like Derek didn't even know anything was wrong with the missions he undertook until the Wazir provided him with firsthand evidence.
* **Fear-mongering**: As a side effect of their misinformation campaigns, the Yellow Room stirred up fear within the House to keep its agents ready to kill for their benefit.
* **Secrecy**: The Yellow Room's existence was a complete secret to everyone other than the Committee. Even a veteran senior agent like Derek was completely unaware of their existence until the Wazir revealed it to him.
Blue Room

*“Everything you do is monitored by the Blue Room. You were a fool to think you were being discreet.”*— Nathan Hawthorne, *Eldritch Ops*
The **Blue Room** was one of the branches of the House. The Blue Room functioned as the House's primary security force, ensuring that the House's agents were monitored as much as the rest of the world was and taking action when they felt it was necessary.

## Purpose

The Blue Room's primary purpose was to protect the House's interests in any way was deemed necessary. To fulfill this duty, the Blue Room employed a variety of methods:

* **Internal Monitoring**: The Blue Room monitored the actions of all of its agents to the point of borderline omnipotence. Shannon noted that their file on Derek included everything from his psychological profile and family history to his celebrity crushes and the specific pornographic magazines he owned.
* **Psychological Evaluation**: With all of their monitoring, the Blue Room kept psychological profiles of all of their agents so as to predict which ones were security risks. Their track record in this regard was mixed; on the one hand, they correctly predicted that Ashley Morgan would turn against them, but as the Professor pointed out, their psychological profile of Derek Hawthorne was completely inaccurate and made them incorrectly suspect he was the mole within their organization.
* **Internal Investigations**: The Blue Room was in charge of investigating any security risks or leaks in their operation. Unfortunately, as with their psychological profiles, their only known instance of running an investigation was a failure; Tommy Moretti managed to direct their suspicions towards Derek long enough for him to escape their sight.
* **Security**: The Blue Room ran the House's security, with their own paramilitary unit supplying the armed guards found at House facilities all over the world. They were both security guards as well as first responders should something happen on-site.
* **Punishment**: As part of their responsibility regarding internal investigations, the Blue Room was also responsible for handing out punishments to their agents as they were needed. Given the delicate nature of the job, this usually entailed executing the offending agent, as the Blue Room did not run trials.
* **Counseling**: Should an agent require it, the Blue Room offered counseling services for trauma and grief. Derek noted that he had to attend grief counseling after the loss of all three of his partners, though their attempts to comfort him didn't work.

Staff of Hiawatha

*“The Professor sent the Staff of Hiawatha with me when I went to investigate Pantheon Corp. It allowed me to go all twentieth-level Battlemage on them, which they weren’t expecting.”*— Penny Hawthorne, *Esoterrorism*
The **Staff of Hiawatha** was an ancient and powerful magic Staff that the House controlled. Though it was not let out of storage except for extreme emergencies, it was utilized twice by Penny Hawthorne in her role as the mage of Derek Hawthorne's Team.

Named after the Native American goddess, the Staff's primary usage was amplifying the magical capabilities of its user, granting them astronomical power and easier control of it. the Professor allowed Penny to use the Staff while investigating Cassandra Cassidy, and she kept it throughout the entire war against the Wazir. Though the Red Room took the Staff back after the war was over, Penny took it again during the Reveal. It is unknown what became of the Staff following the House's destruction and Penny's retirement.

## Uses

* **Channeling Magic**: When held by a magic user, the Staff of Hiawatha could be used to channel the user's magic efficiently and strongly. Penny described it as letting her "go twentieth-level Battlemage" on her enemies, and she was later capable of completely destroying an entire catwalk with just a thought. During the brief period Karl Bjornson wielded it, he was described as "godlike".
	+ **Flight**: The Staff provided a user capable of flight with a seat to control, much like a stereotypical witch would use with a broom. This allowed a user to perform reconnaissance without being seen easily.
	+ **Lightning**: Dr. Strickland was capable of using the Staff to shoot lightning capable of incapacitating Derek and Shannon immediately.
	+ **Flames**: Penny was capable of channeling magic fire akin to a mundane flamethrower using the Staff.
	+ **Magic Redirection**: When used properly, the Staff could be used to direct someone's magic into another person. Derek took advantage of this with his burgeoning magical power by forcing the Wazir's power out of his body and into Shannon's, letting her absorb it and kill him for good.
	+ **Ki Regeneration**: Even holding the staff gave Penny power when she was heavily wounded in a hospital bed.
* **Worthiness Enchantment**: The Staff was capable of physically repelling those who were unworthy to wield it, though it struggled to do so when the user was particularly powerful; though Karl Bjornson was capable of holding it despite his unworthiness, Shannon was burned after holding it for only a few seconds.
* **Fortitude**: As a mystical staff, the Staff of Hiawatha could be used in mundane methods, such as Penny using it as a walking stick or Dr. Strickland using it as a defensive blunt weapon.
Kai

Kai is the yoga trainer at Pump It gym in Kredon. Before teaching yoga, Kai was an engineer at Kainan Engineering (presumably his own practice). Kai wants to date Nancy.

## Appearances

### Chapter 2:

If Orion goes to yoga with Nancy, Kai first appears when introduced by Millie as the yoga trainer. Kai flirts with Nancy but may be thwarted by Orion.
Kredon

Kredon is a small town on the West Coast of the United States where Orion attends high school as an exchange student. Nearly all events that take place in the physical world occur in the town of Kredon. Orion was born in Kredon, but moved with his father at 8 years old to the United Kingdom. The game starts when Orion moves back to Kredon for school. The Carters' home and Kredon Academy are both major locations located in the town.

Kredon has a few high-rises but is otherwise considered a town. The town center is peaceful and lacks the hustle and bustle of big cities. Kredon is famous for lots of rain.

Based on the physcial appearance of Kredon in the game, the town is likely in the Northern part of the West Coast, further supported by the common rain. While the exact location is never confirmed, the trip across stateline to Luna's uncle (in California perhaps) and the mentioning that a certain character's home is in Washington state seem to suggest that the location is in the middle: Oregon. There is no town in the actual United States called Kredon. The word may derive from the word 'creed.'
William Bardot

Father of Axel and Alex. William Bardot is the largest shareholder of Ulysses, the company that owns Eternum. He is ranked number six on the Forbes billionaire list. He is known by some as an egotistic manipulator. At the beginning of the game, William is married to Priscilla, the mother of his children.

## Appearances

### Chapter 2:

William Bardot appears when Orion goes to Alex's house for the group project. He has arrived to sign his divorce papers with Priscilla. He yells at Alex and says he wishes she was never born. He then slaps her. Orion may stand up to him, causing William to ask for his name. Orion can keep his name to himself and leave.
Thanatos

Thanatos is the most poweful player in Eternum and the owner of three Gems of Doom at the beginning of the game. Thanatos wears a large set of black armor. Many rumours surround Thanatos.

## Appearances

### Chapter 1:

Thanatos appears in Ekabar to defeat Xet and take his Gem of Doom. Orion and Dalia seem him and Orion can even challenge him, but he leaves without saying a word.

### Chapter 3:

Black Room

*“[Mind control]'s been obligatory for new recruits to the Black Room since 2001.”*
*“What?”*
*“Remember those mandatory health spa trips they started enforcing last year? They use soft music and blinking lights to make sure we drink the House Kool-Aid.”*— Derek Hawthorne and Shannon O'Reily, *Eldritch Ops*
The **Black Room** was the education division of The House, dedicated to educating and training all of its new recruits so they may become effective agents.

## Purpose

The Black Room's primary purpose was to train and teach its new agents the world of the supernatural and the duties they would be fulfilling to the House. They did so through a variety of methods:

* **Field Academy**: The Black Room's primary method was through their field academy, through which they would train and educate their prospective agents.
	+ **Red Room Training**: The Black Room prepared prospective Red Room agents for life in the field, including combat training, espionage, and intelligence gathering. The final test of the Red Room path tested an agent's willingness to kill their enemies even if they had surrendered; if they were unable to pass that final test, they were remanded from field work, as happened to Ishikawa Sakura.
	+ **Academic Training**: The Black Room also managed the academic side of the job, teaching the agents subjects like supernatural biology. All agents had to take this training, whether they were going to the White Room or the Red Room.
	+ **Psychological Training**: The Black Room taught its agents the psychology of the job, drilling in their head a "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality that encouraged them to always focus on protecting humans over protecting any supernatural species; this included the aid of mind control if it was necessary. The training was so effective that even Derek Hawthorne, a senior level agent who was fully willing to kill or torture humans, couldn't bring himself to abandon the humans of Camp Zero even after believing them to be monsters themselves.
* **Psychological Profiling**: While the Blue Room profiled the House's current agents, the Black Room profiled the students so as to pair them up with the best possible partner. In particular, the reason Derek didn't have a partner until Ashley Morgan was because the Black Room's profiling said that he didn't work well with others.

## Members

* Penny Hawthorne - Former instructor, later transferred to the Red Room
* Mister Black - Instructor
