Radigan Investigations

Radigan Investigations was founded in 1980 by occult detective Jack Radigan. Radigan Investigations offered its services to both the mundane and magical communities.

Humble Beginnings
After returning to his hometown of New York City, Jack needed an income to support himself if he wanted to be a contributing member of society. He decided to become a private investigator and utilize the skills he gained in the war. After earning his license he founded Radigan Investigations in 1980. With no network to support himself and no office he started his business while homeless. Radigan stood outside of police precincts and waited for those who were seeking help but were not getting it from law enforcement or the Council of Magic.

Jack and his business first got the attention of the Council after solving the the murder of Merlin. This impressed the Council enough for them to keep him on retainer.

"Success"
Despite the fact that Radigan Investigations operated for over 18 years, it was plagued with bad luck that eventually would be tracked back to Jack Radigan himself. If it wasn't a job that went sour, maybe the customer couldn't afford Jack's rates so they were taken on pro bono out of guilt or curiosity. This meant Jack was in constant jeopardy of being evicted from his office which also doubled as his apartment. Jack's most stable jobs came in the form of mundane investigation work but what paid the best was work that involved magic or the supernatural.

 * Nils Thornfield
 * Marcus McGregor

Dissolution
Following the fallout of the Falkenrath Incident in 1997 and the ascension of Orpheus to the throne of the Nine Hells in 1998, Radigan Investigation's business prospects had dried up due to poor public opinion of the company and broken spirits of the investigation team. The Falkenrath Incident specifically shook the team because of the loss of investigator Marcus McGregor and the lengths they all had to go to resolve the crisis. Jack went into hiding within the Feywilds to escape Orpheus but this meant closing down shop in Brooklyn and ending the business in this incarnation.
