Editing Supernatural Law: New Orleans (section)

==Arclight==
Arclight, the occult task force of the FBI was founded during the Hoover era. Hoover wanted FBI to have its own occult division, and to found and lead that he called '''Sir William Christie''' – a centuries old liche Necromancer from Britain. Ritual of Lichdom is highly illegal in the modern day, but Christie turned himself before there were laws against it. He did not go the easy route of ritual murder though, Sir Christie is an alchemical liche. He transmuted his mortal flesh. In fact, Sir Christie hates the route of murder. He is famous for being the man who caught Jack The Ripper, who was a mage trying to turn himself into a liche by ritual murder. Christie went on his trail and confronted him, and the would-be liche had no chance against the real thing.

That makes Director Christie the only person (sort of) alive who knows the identity of Jack the Ripper. But when asked about it, he only answers that he does not want to ruin a perfectly good mystery.

Director Christie might be the most powerful mage in US, and a phenomenal alchemist to boot. He never takes the field personally though, preferring to remain as an administrator. One and perhaps the only thing that might bring him out of his office is someone trying the Ritual of Lichdom.

Arclight agents are well funded and provisioned, with their own separate budget and facilities. They deal with federal investigations, and on the occasions when there is overlap with local investigations, they have a reputation for being a bit pushy. On the other hand, sometimes there is a reason to call on them for assistance, for they have superior resources, including specialized laboratories and their own tactical team specialized in supernatural threats. '''MEAT – Magical Energies And Tactics'''. And on the occasions when their help is asked, they tend to be quite professional.

One thing that is within Arclight’s jurisdiction is suppressing the knowledge about magic. If an ordinary cop gets too curious or an OCD detective uses magic too blatantly, Arclight may step in. Likewise, cases where civilians stumble onto the truth and attempt to go public with it are Arclight's problem and not something OCD detectives need to concern themselves with. On occasion, OCD has nevertheless decided to get involved in such a case before Arclight does. Because Arclight can be very ruthless about it. While they do not go as far as to kill witnesses, they can quite effectively destroy a person's credibility, reputation, career, and life. And will not hesitate to do so.
