Support Staff and Associates
The Blacksyte Solicitors don’t work alone. A dedicated staff serves the offices in London and New York. As well as a diverse group of contacts and associates across the globe. Below is a short list of a few our the firms top talent and associates.
Current
Ms. Malory Waters
The first face of the Blacksyte Solicitors’ office in Dorset Square, Ms. Waters manages all London office operation. She is an accomplished paralegal with aspirations to study law. Though she is naive to the firm’s shadowy operational side, Ms Waters is dedicated to her position and the firm’s success as a purveyor of legal council, which helps solidify the firm’s cover in the public eye.
Sir George Cornwell, KCMG
SIS Don and operations officer, Mr. Cornwell is the MI6 liaison between the service and the Blacksyte Solicitors’ clandestine operations. A long-standing member of the intelligence community, Mr. Cornwell is considered by some as a skilled agent runner and intelligence man, and by others as a derelict layover from the Cold War. Whichever place he holds in the mind’s eye of his peers, he is held in extremely high esteem by the UK Intelligence Council as well as the head of MI6, ‘C’.
Sir Thomas Blacksyte, KBE
Thomas Blacksyte is the current principle and owner of his family’s long established law firm. He has held the post since his father’s retirement in 1982. Under his austere and diligent leadership, the firm has expanded it’s humble offerings, in and out of the shadow world in which it operates. With the events of 9/11 (2001) and 7/5 (2005) and the Irag War, the need for trusted and loyal intelligence contractors is greater than ever. Blacksyte Solicitors has become one of MI6’s most long standing and indelible resources outside of their own networks.
The Archivist
Operating out of the office in Gramercy, the Archivist is an honorary title given to a dedicated officer who resides at this post. Charged with maintaining and cataloging all of the firms operations and cases, both public and classified, the Archivist also sources elements of relevant media and content, fictional or real, that have value or indirect revelation to the firms on-going work. The archivist may also be the firm’s US head of station for the operations taking place in North America and liaising with United States authorities, as needed.
Past
August Esslinger
August Eßlinger was born just prior to the most turbulent times in his countries history and he was unlucky enough to be called up to serve in the German Army during the waning years of the Great War. In the intervening years, he studied engineering and took a job with the emerging technology company Siemens in Munich. At the onset of the depression, August was sent on a trade tour of Southern England for Siemens; exhibiting their products and innovations. It was on this tour that he encountered and befriended Peter Blacksyte. During the rise of the Nazi party, August and his family stood in swift opposition with the Bavarian Catholic party, but were eventually swept up in the fervor of the time. Rattled by the growing brutality of his fellow countrymen and the inevitable return of the horrors of war, Eßlinger became an agent for the SIS/SOE, working closely with, and only with, his good friend Peter Blacksyte until the end of the war. The relationship lasted into the Cold War until Peter’s death in 1969.
