A French spy who worked undercover as a dance hall girl before being recruited for this.The Brit boffin who takes apart "unknown objects" for HRM.A gypsy witch who's looking for revenge for what the Nazi's did to her family.Etc.Creat a number of ideas that you think would work in the campaign you have in mind, say about 3x the number of players, and let them pick and flesh them out and roll them up. A third possibilty, for the powergamers, is have the team be a special "Creature Commando" Squad - made up of vampires, werewolves, demons, flesh golems, etc.Remeber that this kind of gaming is going to be assignment based.  Think about all the intelligence that might go into planning missions for your group, and all the things that might go wrong.  Yes, some times the millitary or secret services didn't plan everything well, but as a GM you should be able to tell the PCs up front how they get in, what they find, what they are supposed to do, and how they are to get out.   On the ground all that can change, but the PCs commanders should have a plan.</blockquote>
