 THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING T H E O N C E - G R E A T G E N E W A K E L Y — former archeologist, now discredited | specializing in reliquary & the crusades — ONCE, THERE WAS NO STOPPING GENE WAKELY — A PROMINENT ARCHEOLOGIST AND ONE OF THE FEW SEATED AT THE HEAD OF THE ACRG CLASS. AN EXPERT IN ALL THINGS CRUSADES (AND IN PARTICULAR, CHRISTIAN RELIQUARIES), GENE WAS KNOWN FOR CONTROVERSIAL INTERPRETATIONS OF OTHERWISE WIDELY-ACCEPTED REENACTMENTS OF HISTORY. THIS EARNED HIM SOMETHING OF A REPUTATION IN THE ARCHEOLOGICAL COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION, BUT GENE TOOK THIS MOSTLY IN STRIDE, SPURNED ON BY THE DESIRE TO PROVE HIS NAYSAYERS WRONG AND A PASSION FOR THE ULTIMATE TRUTH. BUT WHAT BEGAN AS DETERMINATION AND STUBBORN TENACITY SLOWLY BEGAN TO SPIRAL INTO MANIA AS GENE BEGAN FOLLOWING SUPPOSED LEADS IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIND THE TOMB OF JESUS AND FOUND HIMSELF SICKENINGLY OBSESSED. FIRST HIS PRIVATE LIFE FELL TO THE WAYSIDE AND, SOON ENOUGH, HIS PROFESSIONAL LIFE SUFFERED, HIS THEORIES GROWING MORE AND MORE OUTLANDISH AS GENE'S WORK FELL OUT OF THE REALM OF ARCHEOLOGY AND INTO THAT OF QUESTIONABLE PSEUDOSCIENCE. LONG SINCE DISCREDITED BY THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY AS SOMETHING OF A KOOK AND A FLAKE, GENE HAS BEEN KEPT ON RETAINER AT THE ACRG IN A PERFUNCTORY 'CONSULTANT' POSITION AND IS ONLY BROUGHT ONTO A MISSION IF IT FALLS WELL WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF HIS EXPERTISE. SOMETHING OF A RECLUSE AND PRONE TO FITS OF ERRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR, GENE IS REQUIRED TO WORK IN TANDEM WITH NELLIE McKEE — AN ACRG MYTHOLOGIST WHO SERVES AS ASSISTANT, BABYSITTER AND PERSONAL HANDLER. EVEN WHEN PLAGUED WITH SEEMING MADNESS, GENE CONTINUES TO BE AS BRILLIANT AS HE ONCE WAS. WHETHER THAT BRILLIANCE WILL LEAD HIM ANYWHERE BUT TO HIS OWN RUIN HAS YET TO BE SEEN.
