History

Mike Nelson was the top agent of the British Army's Special Operations Executive during World War II, codenamed the Eagle. A cold, detached man following the deaths of his father and brother at Dunkirk, Nelson was utterly dedicated to his job and had absolutely no sense of humour. His primary objective was the assassination of Adolf Hitler, but sadly he never quite managed it, though he did manage to successfully bedevil the Nazis for several years whilst operating undercover in occupied Europe, assisting resistance organisations. He eventually died in action.
