The General Ministry

The General Ministry is the main Fear-related organization based in the UK run by an individual with the code name Uther Pendragon.

History
The Ministry's origins can be traced back to the start of the 1900s. Established under Royal Charter, the Ministry has spent the past century protecting the British public from, researching, and occasionally experimenting on the things now understood as Fears.

The chronicles of the period 2012-2013 for the Ministry are documented in Tea Time with the Traitor.

Employees
All positions within the ministry are named after figures from Arthurian mythos, with each person to fill them code named accordingly. Most agents of the Ministry have exceptionally short employments due to dying on the job, with Mordreds being the shortest, averaging under 2 years. The Roles of Merlin, Morgana LaFey, and Questing Beast are exceptions to this, however.

Nomenclature
The ministry has a long history of different names for the supernatural. At the time of its founding, they were refereed to as "Haunts", which were described by Sir Andrews as "every night ghast and half-imagined golem ever created by primitive man". By the end of the 20th century they were refereed to as Fears due to the adaptation of the term among most organizations. It should be noted that the following are interchangeable with the "default" names given, as well as occasionally uses of Topography Genera Center terminology.

Names are period appropriate; Archaic names are more poetic in nature then modern ones, which sometimes use inside jokes or media references as names.


 * The Archangel - "His August Personage" appears to have been used towards the beginning of the Ministry. A modern name, "Holy Roller", appears to be in reference to The Beatles.
 * The Black Dog - Known as "Mordred's Death" due to the number of times it has ended a Mordred's career. Other names include "Fluffy" and "Grim", which most likely are inspired by Harry Potter.
 * The Choir - "Symphonic Nightmare".
 * The Cold Boy - "Tick Tock Boy", appears to have been used consistently throughout the Ministry's existence.
 * The Convocation - "Baby Bunting", also appears to have been used consistently.
 * The Dying Man - "Kingfisher" and "Plague Bearer".
 * EAT - Known during the Haunt era as the "Adaptory Method". It is now known as "Darwin's Theory Fucker" (variations include "Darwin's Fucker", "Darwin's Bastard Love Child" and "Theory Fucker") due to notoriety of theories about it being proven wrong on the regular. This was coined by the 17th Merlin.
 * The Grotesque - "Dreamwalker" was used early on in the Ministry’s lifetime. The more modern terms "Sandman" and "Corinthian" appear to be referenced to the works of Neil Gaiman
 * Jack of All - Refereed to by the modern Ministry as "Jack in the Box".,
 * The Manufactured Newborn - "Technological Afterbirth".
 * Towerborn - “Golems”.
 * The Plague Doctor - "The Plague King".
