Who's Who?

La Ville, Louis: One of the old patriarches who seems to control Estelle County, Louisiana. It is believed that, in the 1962, La Ville and his buddies Christopher Roche, Gerald de Tour and Sam Pickering snr were responsible for the murder of Peter Ellis Dean. The murder was witnessed by Roger de Tour. Today, la Ville is a disturbingly corpulent man who looks as though he once suffered a stroke. He runs the bank in Estelle, and seems to know everyone. He was interviewed by the agents on 21 June 2001 in connection with case ES174. He spoke of the scandal of his friend Jean Monet's daughter seenig Peter Ellis Dean, which perhaps revealed a motive for the murder. Given the nature of the murder it is likely that la Ville has access to magic of some kind. This was proved to be the case when the psychic wave that resulted from the release of Samael (21 June 2001) gave him a stroke. The following day he was shot dead in his hospital bed by an insane Gerald de Tour. La Ville is survived by one child: a daughter.

Lambert (Sergeant): Bomb disposal operative who diffused the large bomb planted in the Ross's house in Casper, Wyoming on 11 December 2000.

Landweber, Larry: Close friend of Chuck Johnson from the University of Wisconsin. The pair developed THEORYNET together in 1977.

Lao, Will (Doctor): Worked as Alton's lab partner on the W-Bosun project at the National Radiological Institute in Nevada. He has since been moved to another project. See case BRB012.

Lapiaz, Carlos: Mexican crime-lord who operated various cross-border criminal activities from Mexico City. His assets were frozen and seized by the FBI after the work of Benedict Oaxaca between April 1995 and August 1998.

Laverne, Louise (Special Agent): Member of Inspection Division who interviewed Benedict Oaxaca on 21 June 2001 following his beating by the Ku Klux Klan. She was not particularly symptathetic.

Lavin, Nicole (Special Agent): Codename Gold, Lavin is an ex-KGB agent employed by NTOPFOR. She worked with Eric Vitrano on FBI case S73 to find out connection between Apache Joe and MK Ultra. She helped to perpetuate Apache Joe's killings, and on 13 December she helped to engineer the murder of fake Apache Joe, Constantine Perez and engaged in a stand-off with Jane Munroe and Nathan Harlow. She was thought to be abroad with Eric Vitrano, hunting down Elaine Ross, until she turned up in Arizona on 10 June 2001 and assassinated Benedict Oaxaca. She and Vitrano visited the National Radiological Institute in Nevada later that month, supposedly investigating case BRB012. Believing they were working for an outside agency, they have been permanently recruited by NTOP to keep them out of trouble. See cases S73 and 0018-GCF.

Law, Dave: Representative of Lambert & Law. Contacted Artemis Black on 26 January 2001.

Lawrence (Police Officer): Member of the Pasadena police force sent to help the mid-west evidence response team in their search of warehouses in the dock area on 12 October 2000. Entered the Coffee 4 Texas warehouse with Special Agent Jane Munroe and engaged in a gun fight by members of Jesus Martinez's drugs gang. He survived.

LeBlanc, Michaella: Twelfth victim of Apache Joe, murdered in Port Arthur, Texas on 11 November 1992. See case S73.

Lee, Deborah: Twenty-ninth victim of Apache Joe, murdered in Houston, Texas on 8 August 1998. See case S73.

Lee, Debra: Neighbour of Enrique Solomones and resident of Houston, Texas. Questioned by the agents on 11 October 2000 in connection with case BV004.

Lee, Eddie: Trainee in the employ of Jackson & White in Joplin, Missouri.

Lee, Henry: Son of Wilson Lee who left him a shop in his will. At the time Henry lived in Baltimore and had no desire to run a shop in San Francisco. Henry's current whereabouts are unknown. See case: SF211.

Lee, Wilson: Chinese proprietor of an emporium in Chinatown in San Francisco. He died in 1976 and left the shop to his son, Henry. Henry wanted nothing to do with the retail trade and the shop festered, and was eventually occupied by a mirror ghost. See case SF211.

Lefenwiecz, Melissa: Seven year old daughter of Wichita DA Timothy Lefenwiecz. On the early hours of 4 June 2001, Melissa was kidnapped by agents of one of the cults of Sebek, who were looking to use her blood as a means to teleport a portion of the sun to Wichita, creating an enormous nuclear explosion. Melissa has strawberry blonde hair that she usually wears in a ponytail, and a enjoys a high grade point average at schoo. When she was kidnapped she was wearing Hello Kitty pyjamas. She has yet to be recovered. See case WK016.

Lefenwiecz, Timothy: District Attorney for Wichita. Lefenwiecz came to Kansas after serving five years as assistant DA in Virgina. A generally unremarkable man, he is married to Veronica and has one child: the seven year old Melissa Lefenwiecz.

Lefenwiecz, Veronica: Wife of Timothy Lefenwiecz and mother of Melissa. Originally from South Carolina.

Legba (Papa): Powerful loa of the voodoo religion and father to Ghede. Legba is one of the most benign loa, and is seldom moved to anger. However, Benedict Oaxaca managed this feat on 7 May 2001 when he took Legba's name in vain during a jaunt to the spirit world. Legba was eventually placated but not before he made some rather improper advances to Jane Munroe. Legba is the loa of journeys, crossroads, choices and decisions. He says he will be watching over Benedict.

Lehoaoha (Cahuna): Aged cahuna (witch-doctor) on the Hawaiian island of Kahoolawe. Lehoaoha was so angry at the way the white men had defiled the islands that he planned to summon a horde of life sparks (spirit creatures) to deal with them. He was interrupted by Agent Elijah Stone who became thirty different people as a result of interfering with the summoning. Lehoaoha was terribly drained by the ritual and fell into a coma. He was rushed to a run-down hospital in Waiakowa in Maui where his spirit left his body. It is possible that a cahuna as powerful as Lehoaoah could have returned to his physical form, but his body was hijacked by Nathan Harlow before he could do so. Harlow's spirit resided in Lehoaoah's body for many weeks while the cahuna's spirit was trapped on the spiritual plane. It was feared Lehoaoah would still be able to cause trouble for the team, but after Harlow's death on 16 December 2000 this seems less likely. Lehoaoha had one grandson, Lex, who disliked his father so much he wouldn't even pay the old man's hospital bills.

Leigh, John (Special Agent): Fourth victim of the latest Joker killings. Murdered by the Joker on 11 October 2000. He was bled to death in an abattoir in Chicago, Illinois. The corresponding playing card, sent to the mid-west evidence response team was the 5 of Hearts, smeared in congealed blood.

Leitmann: Contact in the Counter Intelligence Unit who has been stonewalling investigations into case BRTS002.

Less-than-second: In the prophecies of Horus-Ra, the Less-than-second are the descendent of the Signai colonists and humankind.

Levin, Michael: Member of the Department of Agriculture and heir to the Levin Fortune. Michael Levin has a shrill mother in Orange County and a sister (Mary-Ann) who has no head for figures. His grandfather continues to run the oil business that made them all so wealthy, and Michael receives a seven-figure allowance from him each month. Despite this wealth, Levin has been involved in the fight against the Shaggai for 15 years, 12 of them at the Department of Agriculture. He works under Deputy Director Willian DeMontu. He has commissioned work on a genetically modified maize that poisons the Shaggai in a manner similar to arsenic when consumed by the Shaggaii's host. He is also working on an airborne neuro-toxin (case NW988). Levin's name first surfaced in case WK001 as the financial backer behind Jenson Gilgoolie's research into neuroviruses to kill arthropods. He was also the team's liaison in case 1097-IN1. Believing Signai involvement, Levin employed agent Richard Quail to infiltrate the Westwood Foundation at some point before November 2000. Quail was compromised. At the behest of Jane Munroe, Levin had other agents move against the Westwood Charity's other holdings. A meeting between Levin and Munroe on 27 November 2000 was very productive. Levin has a number of legally dead agents (such as Wilson Guthrie) working for him to oppose the Shaggai. The Shaggai are his only concern, but he is willing to help evidence response when he can. He had privy to all of evidence response's files because one of the many people he spies upon is fed information by evidence response mole, Marc Georgeson. He was unwilling to reveal his sources to Jane, but the team has subsequently found out the information anyway. Levin passed information to Jane on 22 December which led to the confrontation with a queen brain bug at the Twin Valley Farm in Wichita, Kansas. See case 0017-GCF. Although it seems he can be trusted, Levin has admitted to an interest in survival of Dynamicorp. Recently, Levin's interest in Jane seems more than just platonic. He invited her to accompany him to the White House on 4 May and then onto Carnegie Hall. Jane discovered much in common with Michael Levin and the pair shared a kiss. He has since bought the house she is renting - is this a gesture too far? Levin blames himself for an infected group of DoA agents striking at him through Jane (and striking at Jane through Danni). Although he doesn't really understand how Jane solved the whole thing, he is having to ask for the help of NTOP while Project Yuri is compromised.

Lewis, Edina: Secretary working for Jackson & White in Joplin, Missouri. She is a big fan of Artemis Black and a self-taught 'expert' on the occult. Mostly full of rubbish, she did assist evidence response with one or two pertinent facts for case JOP312.

Lewis, Elayna: Fourteen-year old cheerleader and resident of Winterset, Iowa. Elayna is an average student. She was kidnapped on 18 October 2000 by brain-bug possessed members of the Westwood Charity and kept in a drugged stupor until her rescue by the mid-west evidence response team on 15 November 2000. A direct descendent of the captain of the Sigani vessel buried beneath Winterset, it is believed that her blood may holds some special power. Following her ordeal, Elayna was able to put her life back together. At the end of April 2001 was attended the Iowa State Cheerleader Trials. See case WNT075.

Lewis, Luke (Doctor): Father of Elayna Lewis and eminent doctor. A native of Winterset, Iowa, he has a personality that commands immediate respect. He was responsible for administering to local miners during Michael Levin's excavation of the local mine in April 2001.

Lewis, Marianne: Mother of Elayna Lewis. She was not born in Winterset.

Lex: Very large and powerfully built man. The grandson of the Cahuna, Lehoaoha. Lex didn't like his grandfather much and had no intention of paying his hospital bills. Lex was promised compensation by Artemis Black to get his cooperation, but Artemis never made good on his promises.

Lil: Nubile young black nurse who works in the hospital in Estelle, Louisiana. She tended to Ben's wounds after the battle with Gerald de Tour on 22 June 2001. He got her number, but never called.

Lilith: One of Samael's Seven, known as the Woman of the Night, and associated with the sin of pride. She is also Adam's first wife, and a lawyer with connections in the Oil Industry. Lillith is an extremely powerful and long-lived entity with the power to manipulate time and reality. She was also a keen player in The Game. For the last century she had been playing against an unrevealed secret society who field the demon, the Joker, as their blind player. Her blind player is always one of her direct descendents: first Carl Lenley, then Alfred Brickman, then Jimmy Hoffa and then Artemis Black. She was first encountered by the mid-west team on flight FB104 to Fairbanks, Alaska on 4 December 2000 where she was going under the psedonym of Lillian Winter. She was accompanied by the spirit of Alfred Brickman and she presumably has power over the spirits of all her failed descedents. Her latest blind player, Artemis Black, was successful in destroying the Joker. Lillith took a majority-share holding in Nathan Harlow's soul after he begged her to save him from the Joker in December 2000. This started a confusing chain of events that eventually led to Nathan's. She was responsible for three versions of Nathan returning to life in June 2001. Lillith is more powerful than the Joker, and had nothing to fear by robbing him of his prize. She is eager to begin a new game. Over the years, Lillith has also gone by the aliases of Lillian Spring, Lillian Summer and Lillian Fall. See case S89. Lilith was encountered on 4 June 2001 during case WK016. It is believed her appearance there was because of its relation to the game. She left the mid-west team her couch, which proved to be her undoing. After Jane Munroe released Samael on 20 June 2001, he used the material link that counch provided to dominate Lilith. He considers that she had betrayed him. Lilith is not in a bit of a pickle, but it serves the smug bitch right.

Lincoln, Max (Sheriff): Sheriff of Chugwater County. Contacted by evidence response after the accident that claimed the life of Calvin Powell. He provided assistance to the agents. See case CS1473-IND.

Lishman, Gustav (Special Agent): Evidence response contact for case BRTS002. Based in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Logan, Brian: Builder from Logan/Collier. Responsible for conducting seismic tests at the Wichita HQ on 22 January 2001 in regard to building the subterranean levels.

Lollipop: Name of the boat used by the North-West team.

Lomax, Susan: Thirteenth victim of Apache Joe. Reported missing in December 1992. Her body was found on 3 November 2000 in Colorado City. See case S73.

Long, Alex: Retired mining investigator who worked for mining authority in Casper, Wyoming where he inspected the Copperhead Mine. Long retired to Chicago in the 1980s, and lived at #1447 Fox Row until his death from an apparent stroke on 3 December 2000. His named Joel Grey as his only beneficiary.

Long, Harold "Hal": Security guard who worked days at the Twin Valley Farm just outside Wichita, Kansas. Long was examined by Jane Munroe on 10 January 2001 for evidence of brain bug impregnation but was found to be clean.

Loos, Tic-Tac: White drug dealer in the predominantly black neighbourhoods of Birmingham, Alabama (hence his nickname) and ally of the Jackson family. Loos was pursued obsessively by US Marshal Jack Renford. It is hypothesised that when it seemed Tic-Tac was going to escape Renford for the umpteenth time, Renford shot and killed the man and concealed Tic-Tac's body in his garden. Tic-Tac's spirit returned to take revenge and possessed Renford's son, Chuck. Chuck was inadvertently responsible for his father's death and for attacks on the mid-west evidence response team who were investigating these events in Case BR056. With the destruction of Tic-Tac's remains, his spirit was laid to rest. How these events were possible is yet to be determined. Tic-Tac is survived by his mother.

Lopez, Valentina: Thirty-second victim of Apache Joe, murdered in Big Spring, Texas on 4 April 2000. See case S73.

Lorrimar, Dr Francis (Special Agent): Medical pathologist and member of the east coast evidence response team. Participated in the operation to bring down Apache Joe on 1 January 2001.

Lubchov, Gregor "Lambchop": Russian ambassador to the United States. Threw a party attended by Jane Munroe and Michael Levin on 5 May 2001. Lubchov engaged in a vodka drinking competition with Jane and was impressed by her constitution. They parted on good terms.

Luick, Ugo (Special Agent): Until recently one of the leading agents on the Apache Joe case (S73). He has in fact been working with Vitrano and the others for five years on another case in secret , hence the lack of progress. Luick was Vitrano's right hand and he helped to engineer the murder of fake Apache Joe, Constantine Perez on 13 December 2000. Lucik was badly injured in a car crash deliberately caused by Nathan Harlow. See cases S73 and 0018-GCF.

Lyons, Julie (Special Agent): Member of Vitrano's team investigating the Apache Joe case (S73). She was shot and killed during the summer of 2000 when the team was seconded to act as back-up during a bank siege. She was deeply missed by the team and her replacement, Todd O'Connell, has not easily fitted in.
