What it is about

The Investigator class book belongs to the Trackers, the Investigation Branch of O.D.I.N. After the prologue “The Cellar” it tells how the branch emerged: from File Zero through the Registry and the Wall to Hallström’s notebooks. Five subclasses are available, Profiler, Journalist, Cryptanalyst, Antiquarian and Paranormal Detective, each with training, play styles, price and an example character. At the table you use it to create an Investigator, open cases, pull threads and let the Wall grow.

What is inside

• History of the Trackers: File Zero, the Registry, the Wall, Hallström’s notebooks
• The Pattern from the Trackers’ perspective and their unwritten rules
