Fergus MacNeal

Fergus was a Scottish-born scientist who after World War II was subcontracted by the CIA to study parapsychology. He is the father of John MacNeal and brother of Alistair MacNeal. In 1958, Fergus and his wife Sigourney died from mysterious circumstances in a house fire.

EARLY LIFE
Fergus and his brother were born in Glasgow, Scotland.

WORLD WAR II
Fergus used his scientific knowledge to aid the British against the Nazi menace. In 1943, Fergus infiltrated the Nazi Wunderwaffe Division where he was captured by Edith Skuld. However, the two developed a sort of romantic relationship and was set free. He decided to stay with Edith for a little while before eventually getting rescued by his brother Alistair. During his time with Edith he learnt many secrets from her research.

AFTER THE WAR
After the War, Fergus went back to Germany looking for Edith but could not find her. He found some of her research and took it, fearing what the Americans and Soviets would do with it if they got a hold of it. In 1947, Fergus and Alistair immigrated to Canada. Fergus was subcontracted by the CIA to research and study parapsychology. His research brought him to the Shubenacadie Residential School in Nova Scotia where in 1948 he met Monique Lejeune and aided her in escaping the institute.

Around this time he married Sigourney Comeau, a French-Canadian doctor who worked with Fergus on his research. In 1950, they became the parents of John MacNeal.

DEATH
In 1958, he and his wife were murdered and their house burnt to the ground. After his death, some of his research documents were secretly bequeathed to his brother Alistair.
