Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense

The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) is tasked with researching and defending against paranormal threats to humanity. Their agents primarily deal with rogue magic users and the occasional undead creature or arcane artifact, but are sometimes called on to deal with more serious threats, such as summoned demons and large forces of creatures of Shadow.

The BPRD is responsible with enforcing the International Statute of Secrecy within the United States.
