Adolf Hitler

Parts of this article may be Non-Canonical and relate to real life.

**Adolf Hitler** was the leader of the Nazis and is referred to as the **most hated person** in all of history.

It is unknown that Adolf Hitler was a Cahill, referencing the fact that in 'The Maze of Bones,' Lucian Natalie Kabra mentioned to Alistair Oh that there was a war between the Ekaterinas and Lucians and that "It didn't go very well for your branch (Ekaterina), now did it? " However, these people forget in the next sentence Alistair mentions a 1908 explosion in Siberia (Lucian work), and that Adolf Hitler was seventeen at the time.

The Führer may have been a Vesper. During the Holocaust, every corpse was stripped of its valuable items... watches, rings, etc. It is not clear what branch Adolf Hitler was in. He could be a Lucian, or a Vesper. He and his wife committed suicide at age 56 because they knew that they were about to be captured by the Soviet Force.

## Trivia

According to The Cahill Files: Operation Trinity, Adolf Hitler was not a Vesper nor a Cahill. The Vespers persuaded him to steal the altarpiece which Hitler also wanted as he believed that it lead to a treasure that gave unlimited power. That is why the Vespers easily convinced him to steal it from the Louvre.

Ching Shih rose to power after the death of her pirate husband, taking his place and earning the fear and respect of bloodthirsty pirates everywhere. Her fast ships and ruthless reputation quickly caught the interest of Ching's branch leadership. The Lucians soon had her passing information and eliminating enemies up and down the coast of China. And when Ching decided she was ready to give up the seafaring life, the Chinese government forgave her dastardly crimes with a full pardon. Was there Lucian involvement in this strange decision? Sorry. That's classified."

← Card 30: The Hypnotist | **Card 31: HALO** |  Card 32: Mechanical Sense →

## Description

"**High-Altitude Low-Opening (HALO)** is a daredevil form of parachuting developed by Ekaterina scientists for spying. Planes fly high up in the air above enemy radar, and Ekaterina agents. They free-fall and open their chutes so close to the ground that they are able to avoid radar detection. The record for the longest HALO jump was set by Colonel Joe Kittinger, who jumped more than 19 miles to the ground. (That's more than twice the height that airlines fly.) No one is sure whether Kittinger is a member of the Ekaterina branch or the thrill-seeking Tomas."

## Top Secret

 Magrigals are behind everything, but Vespers are the main enemy.
Abraham Lincoln

**Last Appears In:** | N/A

**Abraham Lincoln** (February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States and an Ekaterina, which was odd because he didn't invent anything. He successfully led his country through the Civil War, ultimately winning the war for the North. He was mostly self-educated, and loved to read. Often, he is still known as "Honest Abe." During his life and time as president, he highly opposed slavery. On the night of April 14 1865, he was shot by an assassin and Vesper, John Wilkes Booth. This happened while Lincoln was attending a performance at Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C.. The mortally wounded Lincoln was carried across the street to Petersen House, where he died the next morning, 15 April. Booth was a strong supporter of the Confederacy.

Lincoln was the first American president to be assassinated. Lincoln's death is believed to have ended any hope of reuniting the country without any rancor, but from the moment he died, he will be remembered, in a year's time he will be remembered, in thousands of year's time will be remembered, in millions of year's time he will be remembered, it may just be one single death on the face of this small meaningless planet but he will never be forgotten by its people.

## Notes

* Abraham Lincoln may have been an Ekat-turned-Madrigal because of his peace work, but it is unknown.
Card 115: Luke Cahill

Within a few generations, the Lucians dominated all levels of politics. The rest, as they say, is history. . .

I know you think I'm insane to invite the Kabra children to the will reading. You've made your feelings VERY clear. But Ian and Natalie aren't destined to become their mother. I've seen glimpses of goodness in both of them. They are remarkably clever and have the potential to make a real difference on the Clue hunt. Still, they are undeniably dangerous, especially Natalie. Her skill with a dart gun is only the beginning. She'll do anything to please her mother, and it's only a matter of time before Isabel sets her sights on destroying Amy and Dan.

"In 1864, Archduke **Maximilian** of Austria was sent to serve as emperor of Mexico. Some Cahill insiders believed that it was actually the Janus who sent Maximilian overseas, and that they gave him a secret item to take with him. The scheme didn't go exactly according to plan, though. In 1867, Maximilian was captured by Mexican Republicans who objected to having a foreign ruler. He was executed, and Benito Juarez, a suspected Tomas agent, became president. According to Cahill legend, Juarez had Maximilian's possessions seized and transported to the National Palace. Was he simply in the market for some new furnishings, or was Juarez looking for something infinitely more rewarding?"

They've developed truth serums and lie-detector tests, but some of their biggest breakthroughs have been in hypnotism. It doesn't work ALL the time, but when it does--WATCH OUT.

Eventually, an Ekaterina psychiatrist proclaimed Ludwig "unfit" to rule. He was replaced by his uncle, an Ekat. But was Ludwig really "mad"? Or was it all part of an Ekat scheme to find a Clue ? When Ludwig mysteriously drowned, his uncle had full access to all Ludwig's palaces, which they searched carefully. Today, this Janus stronghold is open to the public. At least, most of it is..."

Buchanan Holt

**Buchanan Holt** is Eisenhower Holt's father. He was born in 1931 and died in 1982.

## History

**Buchanan Holt** was the rising star of the Tomas branch. He was a great athlete and a skilled Clue hunter. But the Ekat told the Tomas that he was a spy for them, and they claimed he was a traitor. He raised his only son, Eisenhower, all by himself due to his wife dying from an unknown cause.He was obsessed with turning Eisenhower into a top agent and Clue hunter because he wanted to make sure his son would not suffer the same fate he did.

He might be a Vesper. However, he's probably not one, because if he was, then he wouldn't be a Tomas top agent unless one of his parents was a Vesper and the other was a Cahill.Another theory is that Buchanan was a Tomas, and the Vespers stole the top secret files and gave them to the Ekats in order to cause discord within the branches.

## Family

* Eisenhower Holt - Son
* Mary-Todd Holt - Daughter-in law
* Hamilton Holt - Grandson
* Madison Holt - Granddaughter
* Reagan Holt - Granddaughter
* Thomas Cahill - Great x 19 Grandfather

Buchanan's son, Eisenhower might have been named after, or related to, Dwight E. Eisenhower, who was once a Tomas member.

## Talents

* He was a skilled athlete and Clue hunter.

## Trivia

* If you look on the back of the card closely, you'll see a V shadow. This implies that Buchanan *is* a Vesper, and possibly could've actually been a traitor and a spy. It also suggests, however unlikely, that he might still be alive.

Albert Einstein was an Ekaterina looking for a Janus clue before he died, he was really murdered by a Lucian scientist in 1955. He accidentally discovered how to make an atomic bomb but hid his work. He did not want to give his research to the government because he wished for world peace, this might mean he was an Ekat turned Madrigal [but it does not say]. He was also considered the smartest man in history.
Cahill Generals

Cahill Generals are the second rank in the Cahill Family. There are 5 generals, one for each branch. Each general is also a branch leader.

Cahill Generals come and go as Cahill Three pleases. Cahill Three's choices, however, have to be vetted by the other Cahill Council Members. A General is a general for life if he has served justly and kindly for more than twelve years.

One General is the head of all the generals for three years. This is chosen by the Generals themselves. They vote by placing down which four generals they like the best in front of themselves, as voting for yourself is forbidden. They can also vote to remove a general from that position as well. If a general is killed then the branch leadership council nominates candidates from which Cahill Three decides.
Cahill Web Lucian Archives: Death of Sidney George Reilly

# Lucian Archives

## Death of Sidney George Reilly (TOP SECRET)

To: Lucian Leadership

From: Lucian Agent W

Re: Sidney George Reilly

Highly Confidential

6 November 1925

If I hadn’t seen his body with my own eyes, I’d never believe it. Reilly is dead. The Ekats actually got him. We’ve been underestimating our cousins for too long. They’re not the absentminded scientists we imagine. They can be as ruthless as any of us.

Reilly had become too dangerous. He was days away from uncovering the secret of Marie Curie’s research. I think the excitement of finding another Clue overpowered every sense of danger. Reilly bribed some low-level Russian Ekats to meet him on the Russian-Finnish Border to discuss an information exchange. But they betrayed him. He should have known better than to trust an Ekat.

The thugs took him to Soviet Intelligence Headquarters in Moscow. As we’ve known for some time, most high-level Soviets are Ekat agents. They interrogated Reilly for a few days, but my sources tell me that he never cracked. He knows that the Clues are more important than anything. He was shot in the back when they took him to the woods. British intelligence has just received photos confirming his death.

One of our undercover agents (disguised as a janitor) retrieved notes Reilly wrote on cigarette papers. He hid them in his mattress and cracks in his prison cell. They contain extremely sensitive information about James Cahill. We’re still not sure whose side he’s on. He may still be a threat.

The stakes are higher than ever. There’s already been one world war, and some say another is inevitable. The Lucians need to assemble all 39 Clues if we’re to dominate the Cahills. Only we can bring peace and stability to this dangerous world.

Card 171: Egyptian Desert

## Description

"With their cutting-edge surveillance technology, it's easy for the Ekaterinas to spy on practically every corner of the earth. But why would they monitor a barren Egyptian desert? According to Cahill legend, Ekaterina founder Katherine Cahill spent a great deal of time in Egypt. Some believe she even left some of her most treasured possessions behind. For centuries, Egypt has been a hot spot of Clue-hunting activity. Are the Ekats worried about an attack from another branch?

## Letter from Benjamin Franklin (TOP SECRET)

(Transcribed from the original.)

Dear Sirs,

Excuse my tardy response to your frequent letters. Herewith, I will attempt to answer the last twelve.

Though you did not ask, I am happy to say that I continue Amazingly well for my Age, and hope to live to see the End of these Troubles with Great Britain. The journey here was Uneventful. I passed the voyage quite Comfortably, without anyone being the wiser to my Secret Mission. And though I arrived in Paris but yesterday, I have already safely convey’d the Clue to its Hiding Place. As to where I finally hid It, I will not say. I will only admit that you and I will be much like the Clue’s Neighbors long before it is reveal’d.

Until recently, I had the utmost affection for my Lucian Cousins, and still I am proud to be of an ancient and noble Family. But of late it seems our Goals have fallen. We concern ourselves only with hoarding Power and Riches. We have lost the Greater Cause. Perhaps you think I have been infected with the Patriotism of my New Nation, the United States of America. You may be correct. But still I must Defy you, rather than help enrich our increasingly Petty & Self-interest’d Faction. I cannot allow Unworthy Hands to dirty the Noble Cause for which I have fought so long.

As if I needed further proof of the Treachery to which the Lucian Clan has stooped, I need only look out my window. There is a man Lingering outside as I write this letter, who I am certain Followed me yesterday as well. You Spy on me, but it is your own Fear and Cowardice that have come between us. Cousins, I am sorry we must say good-bye on these terms.

Your disobedient but humble servant,

Benjamin Franklin

**Card 25: Astronomer Royal** is found in Card Pack 1.

## Description

"John Flamsteed was appointed England's first King's **Astronomer Royal** in 1675, and set up the observatory in Greenwich, England. Flamsteed devoted his life to making a map of the stars, hoping that knowing the stars would help sailors navigate better. Flamsteed was an excellent scientist and created one of the best star catalogs of his day. However, he refused to publish his work until it was finished--something he thought would take decades. Isaac Newton, a powerful Lucian scientist (and alchemist), didn't want to wait that long. So he and Edmond Halley (of Halley's Comet fame) stole Flamsteed's chart and published it on their own in 1712. Flamsteed was furious and burned all the copies of the published star catalog that he could find. But the question is--why was this star catalog and navigation SO important? What were the Ekats and the Lucians hoping to find?"

← Card 85: Keats's Grave | **Card 86: The Book Code** |  Card 87: Spy Pigeon →

## Description

"Sending an e-mail code is so boring, so Ekat. The Janus prefer to do everything with pizzazz, and that includes secret forms of communication. When the Janus leadership has important information for an agent, they sometimes rearrange the books in the stronghold library to spell a secret message. It's effective, elegant, and utterly sophisticated. Oh, it feels good to be so stylish."

**Question:** What message is hidden on the books?

**Answer:** Hollywood

**Level:** 3
Card 156: Hollywood Hideout

## Description

"The Janus dominate the entertainment industry, so it makes sense that they'd have their headquarters hidden under the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. However, their secret stronghold is MUCH more than a meeting place for Hollywood bigwigs--it's the center for Janus Clue-hunting activities. There are surveillance rooms that receive satellite images from around the world, code-breaking teams, spy training centers, and, of course, lots and lots of art studios and performance spaces. There are even rumors of a few prison cells covered with murals, but that's never been confirmed. No one who's been caught breaking into the Janus stronghold has never been seen again."

Card 169: Teodora Kosara

## Description

Ekaterina agent Teodora has always been misunderstood. It's not HER fault her school's chemistry lab has a faulty sprinkler system. She should've been rewarded for conducting such advanced experiments—not punished! And it's certainly not her fault that she had to sneak away during a class visit to England. The Ekat leadership asked her to spy on the Lucians in the Tower of London. But, of course, Teodora couldn't explain that to her principal. It's hard to be a Clue hunter AND a student. Especially when she may be working for two sides at once...Teodora was called a "troublemaker" for setting up stuff like pranks, etc.

But how can it be, when they know that their parents were Madrigals--members of the most feared group in history? Madrigals have killed in the past. That's why they've had to become so good at breaking out of maximum-security prisons."

She also has deadly aim—she can hit any target with her dart gun from 30 meters and identify a Prada knockoff from 100 meters. Natalie and her brother, Ian, are convinced they'll be the first to find the 39 Clues. After all, they're the children of two Lucians famous for getting their way…whatever it takes. But with their parents busy with Lucian business, can Natalie and Ian handle the Clue hunt all on their own? Even the most sophisticated eleven-year-old secret agent sometimes needs help, especially when her older brother develops a ridiculous crush that affects his judgment...."

## Top Secret

The top secret section shows an entry in Natalie's diary. In it she writes about Ian's seeming crush on Amy Cahill. She goes on to state that now she will be able to get him to do what she wants because he is afraid she will hack into his CliqueMe account. Apparently, Natalie changed his interests to "Girls who stutter, girls in ratty t-shirts, girls whose names begin with A, and orphans but not the cute kind." She also said that "It was hilarious."

Cahill Web Lucian Archives: Heinrich Heinrichson's Capture

# Lucian Archives:

## Heinrich Heinrichson’s capture

To: The Lucian leadership

Re: Heinrich Heinrichson’s capture

The most dangerous Tomas agent, Heinrich Heinrichson, has been apprehended in Sydney. He has outwitted our Lucian agents for years. But we knew it was only a matter of time. No one can escape us forever.

We sent one of our top agents, Irina Spasky, to trail Heinrichson for a few weeks. We wanted to gather as much information as possible before removing him. However, Spaksy lost track of Heinrich in Nepal. It seems he was headed up to one of the Everest basecamps, but a severe storm moved in. Spasky could not follow him up the mountain but tracked him down a few weeks later in Sydney.

Heinrich spent a few days scouting the area around the Sydney Opera House. He was also observed examining blueprints of the building. He seemed to be preparing for a nighttime break-in, because he purchased night vision goggles and rappelling equipment from a survival store in Sydney. Spasky called for backup and plans were made to capture Heinrich as he scaled up the wall of the Opera House.

The mission ended up much easier than expected. Heinrichson got himself arrested on his own. The morning of his planned break-in, he got into an argument with a tourist who was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a boxing kangaroo. Heinrichson walked up to the man and launched into a fifteen-minute lecture on why the kangaroo was poorly poised for actual boxing, claiming that his foot stance was all wrong. When the tourist tried to defend the kangaroo on his shirt, things got ugly.

Irina Spasky sensed that Heinrichson would be at this for some time (he was following the uninterested tourist around to divert his explanation into other animal martial art forms), so she anonymously phoned the police about a giant near the Opera House who was assaulting passing tourists. It took three officers to subdue Heinrichson and get him into a car. After another phone call, Heinrichson was transferred from police custody to Lucian custody. It’s a good thing we’ve paid off the chiefs of almost every metropolitan police bureau in the world.
Card 27: Loch Ness

← Card 26: Marie Curie | **Card 27: Loch Ness** |  Card 28: CERN →

## Description

"For almost a hundred years, rumors have swirled about a monster living in the murky depths of Loch Ness in Scotland. Some speculate that the Loch Ness monster, or Nessie, is a dinosaur. Some speculate that Nessie is simply a type of animal that hasn't been discovered yet. Others think that Nessie is simply a story made up to keep nosy people out of Loch Ness. These pictures were taken by a twelve-year-old local boy, Paul Addison, who liked to boat on the frigid loch. He sent in his photo to Charlie Wallace, a local man who runs a Loch Ness souvenir shack and a blog about Nessie. But when the photo appeared on Charlie's blog, it had been doctored. Paul Addison wondered why. Unfortunately, Paul Addison is missing now and can't ask any more pesky questions."
