Bureau IX is a paramilitary offshoot of Poland’s Foreign Intelligence Agency and a minor faction in the Second Inquisition.

History[]

Bureau IX was officially created in 2002 during the country’s reorganization of their intelligence services but its roots are much older. Some within Bureau IX claim the organization's founders were the last of the “cursed soldiers” that opposed Communist rule in Poland after WWII, who were guilty of atrocious crimes and genocide during the war. Whether this connection is true or not is immaterial, but the myth has inculcated within Bureau IX’s leadership an extreme distrust of leftist political groups and Russian influence.

Operations[]

Ever since they were recruited into the Coalition shortly after their formation, some of Bureau IX’s leaders have been warning the US about a supposed supernatural conspiracy that controls the Russian state and international communist party since the 1990s. Bureau IX sees its involvement in the Coalition as a way to further integrate itself into the US and NATO security apparatus aimed at Russia. They are closely allied to the Vatican and want to expand their hunting activities within Poland but see the current democratic system as an obstacle to effectively safeguarding the country. FIRSTLIGHT intelligence and IAO funding have even been used to garner support from business leaders for a coup that would allow Bureau IX to more radically pursue their anti-Russian and anti-vampire agenda.

On an operational level, Bureau IX prefers to tackle vampires head on and are one of the few organizations in the Coalition that willingly plans night ops. While this aligns with the Vatican’s operational doctrine it is often seen as a great risk by FIRSTLIGHT given the potential for media exposure. Despite this Bureau IX is still seen as an invaluable ally by the US/UK axis of the Coalition not least because of its willingness to deploy untested technologies against blankbodies.
