			=== Lady Anne Bowsley's Influence ===
			Embraced by Valerius at the end of the 1600's, Lady Anne quickly took stock of the world around her and understood the need for accurate intelligence. Biding her time, she slowely began to gather men and women to her service who could bring her the information she needed. In 1794 she was allowed to embrace [[Lord Jacque Pareau]] known as Jacque the Pen for his lengthy diaries around the misbehavior of various London politicians. Jacques worked hard for his mistress gathering information and cataloguing it. He brought with him a coterie of people who helped him gather more information. While working against the Skeleton Keys and trying to gain control for Lady Anne, his ghouls and informants were formidable.

	In 1873 the Intelligence Branch was created within the Quartermaster General's Department with an initial staff of seven officers. Initially the Intelligence Branch was solely concerned with collecting intelligence, but under the leadership of Henry Brackenbury, a protege of influential Adjutant-General Lord Wolseley, it was increasingly concerned with planning. However, despite these steps towards a nascent general staff, the Intelligence Branch remained a purely advisory body, something that sharply limited its influence. The Branch was transferred to the Adjutant General's Department in 1888 and Brackenbury's title was changed to Director of Military Intelligence.

At the outbreak of the Second Boer War in 1899 the Intelligence Branch had 13 officers. Prior to the war it produced a highly accurate summary of the Boer republics' military potential and was the only part of the War Office to escape criticism in the resulting Royal Commission.

			Inspector Basil Rathbone of Scotland Yard led a secret society dedicated to ferreting out and eliminating supernatural threats; the Keys had even come to the attention of Queen Victoria herself. Reginald Proctor envied the Keys' political connections, which he lacked.

			And so, during the Albertan Reformation of 1851, the Skeleton Keys were recruited into the nascent Technocratic Union as a Convention, joining the Ivory Tower political bloc.

			This lasted until the Victorian Reformation of 1897, when the Ivory Tower itself became a new Convention, created from the merging of the Lightkeepers and Skeleton Keys. The Keys would later provide the inspiration behind the Men in Black.
			The first instance of an organisation which would later become the DMI was the Department of Topography & Statistics, formed by Major Thomas Best Jervis, late of the Bombay Engineer Corps, in 1854 in the early stages of the Crimean War.

			In 1873 the Intelligence Branch was created within the Quartermaster General's Department with an initial staff of seven officers.
