Sir Nigel Roper, KBE

Sir Nigel Roper is a Man in Grey apparently responsible for monitoring Technocratic interests in relation to the sleeper governments of the United States and United Kingdom. He also has some knowledge of Union history beyond the authorized versions provided by the Ivory Tower.

On this basis, Nigel was able to successfully nudge the Roosevelt Group toward the defusing of an enigmatic and dangerous revenge scheme set in place by the Craftmasons centuries ago. Hiding most of his knowledge and authority behind charisma and small talk, it is difficult to discern Sir Nigel's true motives.

In June of 2016 Nigel was recalled to the United Kingdom and offered to transfer the Roosevelt Group to his command if they were willing to break trust with Layla Ahmed. The amalgam ultimately declined the offer, causing Nigel to lament, "It would have done her some good to be outmaneuvered for once" before leaving his office at the British Embassy for the last time.

Union news sources reported Nigel's demotion just one week later after he was caught up in widespread blame for the "Brexit" vote, a situation seen to run counter to the Technocratic ideal of one world government. The fairness of Nigel's punishment and his responsibility for the vote seems doubtful since he had been previously stationed in the United States but details are scarce.
