Lois Anne Nash has lived in Washington DC all her life, being born in the violent downtown neighbourhood.

She surprised her family by announcing her intention, at the age of fourteen, to become a cop. 

Gregory Castle was drafted into the US Army in 1968 and served most of a term in Vietnam before being invalided out after being hit twice by a burst of Vietcong machine gun fire. His interest in medicine was awakened during his subsequent six month stay in hospital. During his rehabilitation he began studying for a degree in Biology and later entered medical school. He stayed in higher education until 1979, when he graduated with a PhD in Forensic Science, specialising in ballistics and toxicology. With his qualifications, he walked into a job with the Vermont State Troopers as a forensic pathologist before being headhunted by the FBI’s Vermont office in 1985.

Abigail Sanderson’s good looks often cause Bureau agents to underestimate her skills.

The television program, The X-Files, is an excellent source of ideas for the Call of Cthulhu Game (and the Nemesis game as well). To assist Keepers who would like to introduce plots or characters from the show I've written up the two leads, agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, and a set of story ideas. Most of the material for them is taken from the highly recommended book by Brian Lowry, _The Truth is Out There: The Official Guide to the X-Files._ It is a must for anyone planning to run a campaign X-File style.
