A well known occultist, Alester Crowley, joins the JBSW.


Aleister Crowley spent his early years of the war in United States. This changed after the reemergence of Thaumaturgy, as United Kingdom was much closer to the epicentre of the changes, and he was discovered to possess a great, inborn talent for thaumaturgy. That talent could be best explored in the center of Entente. So, he traveled back to the UK, and joined the Joint Bureau of Supernatural Warfare. With his surprising charisma (probably fueled by an on-going Awakening) he quickly climbed the ladder of JBSW, soon ending up as probably the most influential of its members. There are, however, talks, of an ongoing infiltration of JSBW - especially its British branch - by people connected to Aleister or his alleged secret order of Argenteum Astrum, which is however said to be nothing more than myths perpetuated by the people hostile to Crowley.
