Summary of Backstory: A police officer who was shot along with a suspect by a mysterious person no one saw. The assumption was that the suspect and Clayborn had shot each other.

The experience left his healt impaired, but instead of a disability pension he was hired by Stargazer Bureau.

High Concept: Not really dead, not really alive

Faces/Places
The Stargazer Bureau
The Stargazer Bureau started (and still has an arm in) as an entertainment “news” organization sponsored by the government as a means of distributing and controlling the flow of information regarding paranormal incidents that grew increasingly frequent in the past decade.
Today, the Stargazer Bureau is a highly sophisticated organization with some of the best tools in the world available to them. They have grown increasingly powerful in recent years and have worked their way into the government that created them.
As in its start, though, the Stargazer Bureau has remained an impulsive organization. Lots of tax dollars go into investigating bogus claims of the paranormal. But there is no paranormal incident that the Bureau shys away from and no paranormal beastie they're not willing to confront.
The Bureau's symbol, and the symbol its Agents carry as a badge, is an upright five-pointed star with a single eye in the center.
