Black Mysteries

Department 81, otherwise known as the Black Mysteries Department, is a department inside the FBI. They investigate and deal with supernatural incidents.

The group was formed in 1981 by Barton McHenry. Mr. McHenry is a longtime member of the Midnighter's Club. He used his influence to make sure that the FBI would have people prepared to deal with the supernatural.

Typically, if an agent gets assigned to Department 81, it is seen as a dead end for that agent's career. Agents that work on these cases get a little crazy if they don't adjust to the realization that the world is not always bound by the laws of physics. There is a high death rate in members of the department as the monsters they face are nearly always much tougher than the agents.

Department 81 has learned how to deal with the supernatural with help from the Midnighter's Club. They work to keep the reality of things low-key to keep from causing a public panic.
