Following a successful tour in the SAS, Jim Book started a private security business (Book and Templeton Security) with an ex-colleague, Mark Templeton. The business was only in its fourth month when they were hired to protect Dr Michelle Crompton. Crompton’s enemies sent a werewolf – which killed Templeton and Crompton and hospitalised Book, scarring him for life.
Possibilities
1 Book and Templeton Security now specialises in occult and preternatural security. Following the incident with the werewolf Book pursued a crash course in the occult and mystic and has developed a niche in the security business. Book runs the company alone, hiring in specialists as and when he needs them.
2 The werewolf and its master are still out there. It was three weeks before Book left hospital and the trail was then too cold to follow. However, Book has vowed revenge and is slowly, methodically, patiently tracking the werewolf and its master. And when he finds them, Book will kill them both.
3 Following his near-death encounter with the werewolf, Book has been researching and documenting the various ways of killing (or protecting oneself from) preternatural creatures. He is becoming quite an expert, and his documented research is now a valuable store of knowledge.
