The Angel of Berlin

The Angel of Berlin is a mysterious hunter of the Martyr Creed.

Overview

Certainly one of the best-known and yet most mysterious of the devoted is an individual whom German hunters have begun to call the Angel of Berlin. No one admits having ever seen this person in the flesh, but his (or her) exploits have saved the lives of several hunters who have suffered reversals against the bloodsuckers that infest the German capital.

The Angel's modus operandi appears to be shadowing a hunter or group, providing timely warnings of monster or police ambush, and occasionally arranging for vital equipment or medical supplies to materialize. Whoever the Angel is, he has demonstrated considerable skill at surveillance and computer hacking, and at long-range marksmanship in more than one incident. The only contact the Angel makes is by telephone or email. Hunters who have heard his voice report that it's electronically altered, and emails that have been traced always lead back to one of Berlin's many cybercafes. The emails themselves always end with the same phrase, "We also serve who watch and wait." Below the sig line is a text-improvised representation of the devoted symbol, proof for many that the Angel is one of the imbued, not a subtle bloodsucker manipulating hunters for its own ends, as some still suspect.

Most speculation regarding the Angel leads hunters back to the same basic profile. The person is a fellow imbued, evidently one of the devoted, who must have considerable personal resources to perform his acts of generosity. He also clearly has extensive contacts within the Berlin police and a considerable amount of hard intelligence on the activities of the city's monsters.

If anyone can point to a flaw in the Angel's activities, it's that he is apparently willing to support hunters regardless of their motives or ruthlessness. It's been confirmed that the bomb that tore through an office building near the newly renovated Reichstag was built with explosives provided by the Angerl. The blast claimed 15 lives, most of them innocent civilians on their way home from work. As well informed as the Angel seems to be, it seems hard to believe that he wouldn't know how the explosives would be used, which leads some to question if Berlin's mysterious benefactor is as angelic as his name suggests.
