I believe that the man in question is one Lord John Barrington III.  (various info appears on the screen) He a genius with extensive knowledge of science and the occult, and is a freelance religious nutcase of sorts.  We are pretty sure he is the same person as Lord John Barrington I and Lord John Barrington II.  The first John Barrington, a British noble born in the Mideast to a Persian mother, was an archaeologist and professor of history, who, while excavating some pyramids in Egypt in 1918, claimed to have found evidence that the Egyptian pantheon were in fact real entities from beyond the stars that deserved worship and left behind countless treasures, including the secret to eternal life.  No one believed him, but he became a zealous worshipper of the Egyptian gods, and was suspected of being a supervillain who went by the name of Pharaoh's Curse, who specialized in stealing ancient Egyptian artifacts and killing archaeologists, often by enacting various mythical curses on them.  He rarely appeared in public, occasionally publishing screeds about the abuse of "holy" artifacts, but there are no known images of him having gotten any older...his claims about eternal life may have been true.  The next time we have records of him is during World War II.  Here is a picture taken at a meeting of the Thule Society, a Nazi occultist group.  (a picture appears on your screens) Here he is, next to Hienrich Himmler.  Our information is spotty, but he seems to have suddenly turned from a Pharonic zealot to a practitioner of the dark arts of ancient Europe.  Rumor has it that he specialized in rituals of human sacrifice, and the Nazis were willing and able to provide numerous victims.  if so, he was probably connected to -- or otherwise known as -- the magic-wielding Nazi supervillain KreiglockWe know nothing of Lord John Barrington II, or at least, what he was doing when he called himself that.  Lord John Barrington III, however, somehow managed to join MI-6 after getting his Ph. D in electrical engineering, proving that he was nothing like his "grandfather."  Unfortuantely, he was exactly like his "grandfather"This time, he was a crazy Anglican.  He managed to get in despite a past arrest (and acquittal) on charges of beating up a Catholic priest.  He set to work battling the IRA, but soon was sent abroad. His personnel file indicates that he was sent to Iran, posing as an engineer on an archeological dig relating to some kind of ancient Zoroastrian settlement, taking advantage this time of his grandfather's reputation in the more superstitious mideast.  This is the last picture was have of him, during Iranian Islamic Revolution, participating in the taking of American hostages.  We unfortunately know nothing of him since, though for all we know he could have a new masked supervillain identity at this timeUltimately, we think he's simply all about power.  Religion is just his favorite tool to get it.  The question is what he is asking for now.</blockquote>
