Edgar Hoover.  In 1933, at the ripe old age of 23, Jimmy was recruited by Hoover for a secret organization within the United States government.  There was no question that Hoover was the country’s top lawman at the time and he had his finger on every piece of information that was valuable.  It happened to be, every now and then, that Hoover would come across something that just didn’t fit into what folks would call normal.  And while Hoover couldn’t ‘officially’ investigate these types of issues there was enough money in his discretionary budget to fund a small group of men and women (yes, women) that could.  These people became the SPecial Intelligence DirEtoRate…or SPIDER.  Often when asked where he got bits of information, Hoover would say, “A spider on the wall told me”.  Well, he wasn’t kidding. Today, Jimmy is the West Coast Operative for SPIDER, spending a majority of his time in California, more specifically San Francisco.  For some unknown reason, more odd things happen in San Francisco than anywhere else in California.  Jimmy’s ability to impersonate most anyone of either sex or nationality allows him to go places most other SPIDER agents can’t which often leads him far away from his beloved home.</blockquote>
